Tasting - Castello Sonnino

Name: Castello Sonnino

Variety: Chianti Montespertoli
Region: Chianti
Country: Italy
Year: 2010
Price: $15 sale $8.95
Expert Review: "A blend of Sangiovese, Canaiolo, Trebbiano and Malvasia del Chianti. Rich and modern, with a dark, saturated color and aromas of graham cracker and lemon rind. A juicy palate packed with plum and raspberry is carried by a creamy texture that’s rather toasty in terms of flavor. The finish is round, full and chocolaty."

My Review: This dark red wine had a lot of red fruit smell to it. I got plum, raspberry and dark cherries and even some dark chocolate right of the bat. The taste was similar. dark fruits were the story here and the dark chocolate taste was very delightful on top of the dark fruit taste.


I did not pair this with food
