Image credit: Vintage Cellar
Name: Gabriella Chianti
Variety: Sangiovese
Region: Chianti
Country: Italy
Year: 2008
Price: $7.95 (Vintage Cellar)

Shop Review:
This beautiful wine has the very deep red, almost purple, color that you would expect in a Chianti. The first thing you notice is the fruit, balanced by a bit of spice. It’s a good dry wine with a bold flavor. Even with it’s boldness, this Chianti is velvety smooth.

My Review:
Very strong smelling. I didn't think I would like this wine from the smell alone. Once I got into the wine, I found it to taste just as strong (alcoholic). I couldn't really find the fruit flavors at all. But I did get an acidic ashy taste in my mouth. I absolutly did not like this wine.
