It's only wine but I like it

More deeply coloured than any Chianti Classico I have tried and, at 15%, the highest abv. Yet, this wine retains its character, its Sangiovese-ness. Yes, a mix of darker fruit joins in the typical red cherry fruit, but never dominates. Complex, delicious with firm tannin and fine acidity. And I detected not a trace of heat on the finish. Fine CC here and very nicely priced. Tasted May 2021.
