Nicely balanced simple Chianti. Makes a great weekday wine. Nothing memorable. But a food friendly, sour cherry, highly acidic, but light red. Not sure I would buy again.

Agree with the comment that this a lot of Chianti for the price. Delicious and good tart, red fruit and tobacco. Liked a lot.

This is an excellent CC. It has all you could want from an entry level wine. Beautifully balanced, with lovely dark cherry fruit, supporting tannins and the classic Sangiovese bite on the finish.

Solid. High altitude (1500 Ft) Sangiovese from several vineyards in Radda. Tart cherry. Clean. I think this has upside from here.

N: Cherries, that you know you’re in Tuscany now w Radda lightness. Iron and bit o’ funk. Barnyard but very light.
P: Beautiful Cherries, iron, cinnamon, spice, great acidity. A great food wine.
Outrageous qpr.
