Country: Italy / Novecento Riserva
Variety: Sangiovese Tuscany
Winery: Dievole / Chianti Classico
This vibrant red opens with aromas of wet soil, underbrush, cured meat and a whiff of oak. The lively palate offers dried black cherry, cranberry, ground pepper and star anise alongside dusty, almost grainy, tannins that leave a rather raspy finish.
