Wine Tasting: Gabriella Chianti

Name: Gabriella Chianti
Variety:  Chanti
Region: 
Tuscany
 Country: Italy
Year: 
2008
Price:
 $7.95


Winery Review:  This beautiful wine had the very deep red, almost purple, color that you would expect in a Chianti.  The first thing you would 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. - Vintage Wine Cellar 02/14/2013

My Review: This is definitely a bold wine with an acidic kick to it.  The aromas of this wine were warm and spicy with a fruity, almost cranberry-apply edge.  This wine was a little too bold for me, the acid overpowered the taste.  I am curious as to how decanting may change it.  

Food: I did not try this wine with food.
