2006 Santa Margherita Chianti Classico
SKU #500307
Deep ruby red color. Aromas are sweet sensations of wood envelope ripe, spicy fruit. On the palate mouth-filling fruit impresses one with its roundness and gentle tannins; sensations of ripe, sweet fruit lead into a spicy aftertaste. This is an elegant wine that reflects fully the characteristics of its terroir and is also a modern interpretation that embodies Italy's most classic vineyard area.

WINE SPECTATOR REVIEW: This has slightly cooked fruit on the nose, with stewed plum. Medium-bodied, with light tannins and a medium finish.
The color is an intense ruby red with faintly garnet tones. The initial aromatic sensations are sweetish and vanilla-like, typical of wines matured in barriques. The clean, ethereal bouquet then highlights Sangiovese’s spicy notes. On the palate we again find very well-integrated oak which, however, soon gives way to hints of wild berry fruit preserve and to that nuance of spices we perceived on the nose. It is recommended for barbecued meat, like sliced Chianina steak, or with game, such as pheasant stuffed with truffles: excellent with mature cheeses.
