Chianti
San Gimignano
2012
20 US dollars
Grape blend: Sangiovese, Canaiolo, Colorino and Ciliegiolo
Vinification: soaking on the skins with repeated repassing of must over the grape dregs, alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel vats and maturation in the bottle
Broad and elegant with pleasant odors of red fruit, cherry, blackcurrant and raspberry with final flowery notes of sweet violets.
This was a wine that I tasted on my wine tour in Tuscany, Italy. It was a sweet wine that did not have any bite. I enjoyed that I could very much taste the hints of cherry in the wine and even thought it was black cherry.
We had the wine with pasta and bread, and it paired very well with the red sauce on the pasta.
