Badia Al Colle Chianti (Italy 2005)

Category: Chianti — Mike @ 8:04 am

	This wine is a Chianti that made up of 100% Sangiovese grapes. I got this wine from a cousin of mine and I have to say I was a little nervous about it at first. They are not wine drinkers and most of the wine I have had over there tended to be as sweet as Kool - Aid. Apparently somebody had given the bottle to them and they did not know where it came from. I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by this bottle and will be on the look out for it again. So if anyone sees this bottle somewhere write us and let us know because I would really like to have this again.
	$12

Earthy with hints of leather and cigar. Great with any pasta dish. Robust yet easy to drink. A very dry wine. This Chianti has to be the “bottle of Red” that Billy Joel sings about in his song “Our Italian Restaurant”
