A dark garnet colored wine whose aromas evoke red berries, cassis, cedar, spice and smoke. A big, full-bodied Chianti with a very ripe fruity attack of plums and prunes and a medium finish with a touch of wood and leather notes. This wine possesses great mouthfeel and has a good balance between structure, acidity, and tannin. It will be at its peak in 2007, but will evolve for another 3-4 years. Ideal with charcuterie, pasta or light meat courses.
