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 Four Trophies
  • 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”
