Vintage Cellar Review: Wine 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...
