Name: Castello Sonnino Chianti Montespertoli
Variety: Sangiovese, Canaiolo, Trebbiano, Malvasia del Chianti 
Region: Chianti
Country: Italy
Year: 2010
Price: $15

Winery Review: A blend of Sangiovese, Canaiolo, Trebbiano and Malvasia del Chianti. Rich and modern, with a dark, saturated color and aromas of graham cracker and lemon rind. A juicy palate packed with plum and raspberry is carried by a creamy texture that’s rather toasty in terms of flavor. The finish is round, full and chocolaty.

My Review: Deep brownish-red in color. Aroma of a tire soaked in sugar as well as sour cherry. A strong tart punch on the palate that left a tingling feeling in your nose similar to mint. Hints of dark fruit such as plum. I did not like this wine. 

I tasted this without food.
