Tasting - Chianti Sangiovese


Name: Chianti

Variety: Sangiovese

Region: Tuscany

Country: Italy

Year: 2019

Price: $5.00

 

Winery Review: At this low price for 1.5 litres of Tuscan wine it's a wonderful buy! smooth, fruity , quite light it's a superb little wine and it comes from A little Tuscan town that I know so well! – (T.K 4.5).

Wine Folly: The book describes Chianti as “preserved cherry, aged balsamic, espresso, [and] dry salami” pg 162. I was able to detect cherry and balsamic vinegar.

 

My Review: Despite my first impressions of this red, it is not a bold full body red. It would be better described as a medium or light body, almost as if it was watered down (very possible based on the price). This is a very tannic and acidic red wine with fruity notes.

Name: Dionysos Fileri  Variety: Moschofilero  Region: Peloponnese   Country: Greece   Year: 2021  Price: $12.00  Winery Review:   An astringent, crisp wine which pairs well with fish. Better than many higher priced Assyrtios. - (C.B 4/5).   Wine Folly:  I agree with wine folly primary flavors of Moschofilero. The book says potpourri, honeydew, pink grapefruit, lemon, and almond.    My Review: Smells like crisp green apple, citric, and grassy hay. Tastes citrusy, light body, with apple notes. Warm smooth, light body, a very refreshing wine. With a sour aftertaste. Good wine would recommend.
