Tasting - Gabriella Chianti


Name: Gabriella Chianti
Variety: Sangiovese Chianti blend
Region: Tuscany
Country: Italy
Year: 2008
Price: $7.95

Vintage Cellar Review: This beautiful wine has the very deep red, almost purple, color that you would expect in a Chianti. The first thing you notice is the fruit, balanced by a bit of spice. It’s a good dry wine with a bold flavor. Even with it’s boldness, this Chianti is velvety smooth.

My Review: I thought wine had a strong nail polish remover smell to it above any other smell I could distinguish. This Chianti was very dry and strong with a spicy taste. It dried up my mouth too much, I don't think I'd choose this wine to drink.

I had this wine without food.
