Awesome Chianti! Cherry liquor and cedar on the nose. Cherry, sour cherry, herbs and some subtle wood in the mouth. My new favorite Chianti Classico. You could spend a lot more and still not match the sophistication in this Chianti. Looking forward to tasting everything Castellare di Castellina produces!

A perfect, entry-level Chianti Classic, showing a bouquet of dried strawberry, cedar, leather, dusty spice and a hint of barnyard. On the palate, medium-weight textures gave way to zesty acidity, with flavors of tart red fruit, plum and inner floral tones. It was dry on the finish with a hint of youthful tannin tugging at the senses along with a note of bitter wild berries.

This is how Chianti should taste like: earthy, acidic, with light to medium body.
