Lively traditional styled Chianti displaying tart cherry and sun dried tomato Sangiovese notes. But, where this wine dominates is it's persistent tingling herbal component of fresh basil. A distinct strawberry backbone keeps the fruit prominent without being overbearing or "new world" in any way. Grippy black tea tannins and nervy acidity roll in through the finish. Smart integration of sweet tobacco and chewy leather. Balanced fruit, acidity, and tannic structure make this a great QPR. Cheers!
