| Cantine Gini's 2002 Villa Fortunato DOCG Chianti is
definitely a food-friendly wine. Beginning with a medium
ruby/garnet core, the wine fades to an orange/mahogany rim.
On the nose the aromas are strong and consist of raspberry,
pepper and some dusty tobacco. The palate follows through
with pronounced raspberry flavors. The wine has a stringy
lean body that marries zesty acidity with woody, astringent
tannins. It parts with a medium length finish that is dry
and clean. Overall, this Chianti shows a firm consistency
and uncomplicated complexity. |
