La Castellina 2007 Squarcialupi Riserva (Chianti Classico)

Country: Italy / Squarcialupi Riserva
Variety: Sangiovese Tuscany
Winery: La Castellina / Chianti Classico

There’s an inky, raw feel to this riserva (Sangiovese blended with tiny percentages of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot), followed by candied cherry and rum cake. It finishes sour and bitter.
