Santa Trinita
Chianti Classico
Vini Toscani
This wonderful wine hails from the Florence and Siena regions of Italy. You can taste that the wine has almost all Sangiovese grapes (75% and 100% ), up to 10% Canaiolo grapes. This makes for an excellent combination.
Color-The color is a bright clear ruby color with the slightest hint of richer garnet color.
Smell- You can detect the scent of plums and a hint of cherries. Additionally upon airing you can really detect how the wine blossoms and the fine mocha scent is detectable.
Taste-This wine is light and fresh on the tongue, well-balanced, fruity, slightly dry and not overly tannic flavour with hints of cherries and raspberries.
Overall a really nice wine.

Chianti de Barone Ricasoli
This vine has a rich and beautiful ruby red color with warm plum colored undertones. It reminds me of the reddest of roses in the garden.
I could smell a light berry in the sunlight scent, soil and the grapes. It had a pleasant smell and didn’t overwhelm one with alcohol or sweetness.
The taste is warm and juicy. I detected a hint of blackberry and the slightest trace of cremant chocolate. I could taste and smell the richness of the Sangiovese and Canaiolo grapes and the deep rich Italian soil.
I really likes the subtle dryness of this wine and enjoyed it immensely.
It reminded me of good pizzeria wine in Rome. This is great with pizza quatro formaggi and capresi.
