This is a great value Chianti...worth a bit more than the $14 that I paid. Light red color with plum and cherry aromas on the nose. Very smooth on the palate and nice mid-weight feel. Cherry and strawberry flavor profiles with just a faint bit of earthiness. Well balanced acidity and mild tannic finish. Perfect with the light pasta we had on a warm evening. Pretty much what you want in a summer Chianti.
