  Lovely juicy Chianti

  This isn't the best Chianti Classico I've tasted, but its very good, excellent for the price. Juicy red cherry fruit with good food friendly acidity, really well integrated oak, and nice supple tannins make for a really well balanced and thoroughly enjoyable wine. Lovely soft texture too. Excellent with pasta, or great just to enjoy a glass on its own.

  Thouroughly enjoyable

  Sangiovese tannin and acidity certainly do not get out of hand with this juicy if slightly simple CC. Strong oak on the nose does not dominate the palate, and as recommended on the bottle, perfect with BBQ or pasta (I think pizza would be best though). Good value at 7.99.

  A "serious" Chianti

  I enjoyed this wine but found it rather heavier than most I've tasted before. Good tannins for structure to offset the sweet fruit. A fine match for roast beef or lamb, or venison.

  "In the heart of the Tuscany region lies the area of Chianti, where the Sangiovese grape thrives. Cherry and sweet spice flavours make this fantastic with bbq's and pasta dishes."
