Tasting - Gabriella Chianti

Name: Gabriella Chianti
Variety: Chianti
Region: Italy
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.

My Review: I found this Chianti very interesting. The dominant flavor I noticed was what seemed like a powerful, fruity apple flavor. There was a tartness to it that I enjoyed and a nice dryness. I've never had a Chianti before and this was certainly a pleasant introduction to the variety. 

I did not try this with food.
