Name: Castello Sonnino Chianti Montespertoli
Year: 2010
Price: $15
Winery review: 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 nose of this was strong with acetone, raspberry, plum, and raisin aromas. On the palate this wine felt medium bodied with medium tannins that made this wine slightly dry. There were hints of cherry and dark fruit throughout. The finish on this was extremely flat and did not linger. I would pair this with a lamb dish or any gamey red meat.
