Tasting-"Castello Sonnino"



Name: Castello Sonnino 
Variety: Chianti Montespertoli 
Year: 2010
Region: Chianti 
Country: Italy 
Price: $8.95 

Vintage Cellar ReviewWine Spectator "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: The Sonnino was a lovely dark red wine with a strong scent of gasoline. The taste was very tannic with a bitter dark chocolate nutty-ness to the finish. This wine was complex, however, not my kind of complexity...
