Name: Castel del Trebbio Chianti
Variety: Sangiovese
Region: Tuscany
Country: Italy
Year: 2011
Price: $11.99
Producer's Notes (from Total Wine and More website): Vibrant fruit complements teh floral bouquet of this wine, made, like all Chiantis, primarily from the Sangiovese grape. Flavors of ripe cherry, raspberry, chocolate and spice lead to a soft finish.
My tasting notes: Aromas of cherry and raspberrry. Pretty dry on the palate, with flavor of cherry and raspberry. Spice component very evident. Curious interaction of fruit components and spice. Finish not bad, but I did not find it particularly smooth, either. This wine is good alone or with cheese.
