This is a refreshing, traditional example of Chianti's drinkable, and is classically styled; almost a purebred in a way. The wine, made in big barrels, has a dusty aroma of dried cherries, with a spicy flavor that hints at strawberry jam once the wine is aerated a bit. The price has dropped from previous vintages (thankfully), but the quality in in the bottle hasn't gone down. This now qualifies as a great value for what ends up in the glass.
