Tasting- Gabriella Chianti

Name: Gabriella Chianti
Variety: at least 80% Sangiovese
 Region: Tuscany
Country: Italy
Year: 2008
Price: $7.95
   
Winery 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. (02/14/2013- Vintage Cellar, Blacksburg, VA)

My review:This red wine was very dark in color. It smelled very peppery, and I tasted dry but not too dry that I did not like it. It was also very spicy. I would like to try this wine with a food pairing in the future.
