Tasting: Gabriella Chianti

  • Name: Gabrielle Chianti
  • Variety: 100% Sangiovese
  • Region: Tuscany
  • Country: Italy
  • Year: 2008
  • Price: $7.95
My Review: This wine had a cinnamon smell with a spicy and even more cinnamon mid taste. This wine had a dry short finish.

Shop 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. 
 
I did not try this wine with food but I would drink it with steak.
