Wine Critic Review

This wine opens with lots of ripe red cherry, cranberry, leather, and a little menthol and cedar. Tasting the medium-bodied wine reveals a soft mouthfeel and similar fruit to the nose although it's a bit more tart in the mouth. Well-balanced and with a little earthiness as well, this is simply a good basic Chianti at a great price. It makes a great option for pizza or pasta night on a tight budget.

Wine Folly Notes

I could not find much information because the blends were not listed from this wine. The wine is from the historic area of Chianti. Chianti's normally are a mix of Sangiovese and other popular grapes in the area. There are notes of preserved cherry and other fruits (p.250).

My Review

For a cheap ALDI wine, I quite enjoyed it. Strong notes of berries, especially cherry. I actually did drink this wine with a meal of chicken and pasta, nothing crazy. The food paired decently with the wine and it lowered its acidity a touch
