Wine Review: This dark red colored Chianti Classico from Baron Ricasoli is very good. It opens with mild cranberry and black cherry bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced and juicy. Like the nose, the flavor profile is a mild oak, cherry and gentle cranberry blend with notes strawberry rhubarb. The finish is dry and fades away nicely. This wine is very food friendly and versatile. It will pair well with Italian dishes. I paired it with a sweet sausage red sauce over cheese tortellini. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: Intense ruby color with notes of red fruit, vanilla, and liquorice complement a complex mouthfeel with a long, mineral finish.
