Grape Varieties: Sangiovese
Obtained from: Purchased at Pizzeria Bianco, Phoenix, AZ
Price: $25 Retail, $50 at the Restaurant
Wino4Life Category: Weekend Wine
Aeration before tasting: Just a swirl or two, no special aeration.
Cork Condition: Natural Cork - no defects or issues. (Waiter took it away before I was able to include it in a photo).
Appearance: Wine is clear, dark red and slightly transparent in the core with a water white rim.
Aroma: Very nice cherry and mineral notes - very aromatic right after opening with no special aeration.
The Grade: I give this one an A. A very nice example of a Chianti Classico. I have had Chianti Classico Riservas that were a bit more expensive, but not as aromatic or tasty as this wine. I don't believe my Total Wine & More store carries this one, but I will be looking out for how to get more of this one for any spaghetti or pizza night.
