Winery Review: This medium-bodied, well-balanced wine is approachable and aromatic, with classic Chianti aromas of violet and wonderful cherry fruit flavors. It finishes with spicy hints of wild cherry and hazelnut. It retains these fresh and fruity flavors since it receives no wood aging.

My Review: This wine is very dry. It has a fruity taste to it, but is very dry. I would expect this to be made to be paired with food and for casual drinking. I feel it would have gone well with pasta with a good red sauce.
