2019 Gabbiano Chianti Classico, Tuscany, Italy

Aromas of violet, dark berry and underbrush lead the nose. The juicy palate offers black cherry, star anise and white pepper alongside pliant tannins. Medium ruby color; aromas and flavors of dried cherry, red berry fruit and gentle baking spice; dry, medium-bodied, mild tannins and refreshing acidity. The bouquet is reminiscent of ripe plums spiced with pepper and wood nuances. The first sip reveals invigorating flavors of cherry, blackberry, and spice followed by a dry vivid finish.

90% Sangiovese, 5% Merlot and 5% Colorino
