Tasting- Gabriella Chianti 2008


Name: Gabriella Chianti 2008
Variety: 100% Sangiovese
Region: Tuscany
Country: Italy
Year: 2008
Price: $7.95
Shop review: This beautiful wine has the very deep red, almost purple, color that you would expect in a Chianti. The first thing you notice is the fruit, balanced by a bit of spice. It’s a good dry wine with a bold flavor.  Even with it’s boldness, this Chianti is velvety smooth.
My review: Bitter taste with an oak-like aftertaste. Incredibly dry, I felt like I needed water after this.

Tasted with food or not: None.
