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.
