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.
