Tasting-Castello Sonnino Chianti Montespertoli

Name: Castello Sonnino Chianti Montespertoli Variety: Sangiovese; Canaiolo, Trebbiano, Malvasia del Chianti


Region: Chianti
Country: Italy
Year: 2010
Price:  $ 8.95

Winery Review: Rich and Modern, with a dark, saturated color and aromas of graham cracker and lemon rind. A juicy palate packet 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: The nose of this wine reminded me of a cherry flavored juice box or Capri Sun mixed with a burnt toast essence. This wine was tannic and had a dry chalky feel on the finish. There were notes  of milk chocolate mid-palate.
Food?:  did not pair with food.
