Melini Chianti Pian del Masso 2008

Tuscany, ItalyWhat a pleasant surprise this bottle is. The entry is round the fruit is sweet and ripe with bits of vanilla and milk chocolate mixed into the black cherry, floral fruit. The finish is long and warm with more plums, black cherry and soft liquorice fruit. Fine intensity and terrific value in basic Chianti. A much needed addition to neighbourhood restaurant lists where Italian wines are served.Tasted: 01 May 2010Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
