Wine Shop 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.
Personal Review: The Castello Sonnino Chianti Montespertoli brought a peppery, petroleum-like, aroma to the nose. I found the Chianti Montespertoli to be rather dry and tannic but still balanced due to the 13.5% ABV. The pallet began with raspberries and balckberries before transitioning to a soily midpallet and finish.
Note: I did not consume this wine with food.
