Nov 17th, 2015Nicely balanced, semi-sweet and full-bodied despite a very light bouquet. Good on its own or with a red-sauce meal.

Oct 8th, 20152010 vintage. Excellent quality Chianti Classico from a top producer. Mainly Sangiovese but a little bit Colorino and Pugnitello as well. Perfect with any Italian pasta dish.
