Tasting:

She said: First sniff was fruity and that set the stage for what was to come. This Chianti was full of flavor, had medium body, but was not as dry as many Chiantis tend to be, although it ended dry. It was delicious with the dinner and I couldn’t stop myself from slurping it down as I ate. At $16.20 it is a VERY GOOD buy and I would recommend it in a flash.
