Tasting-Gabriella Chianti

Name:  Gabriella Chianti
Variety:  100% Torrontes
Region:  Tuscany
Country:  Italy
Year:  2008
Price:  $7.95

Vintage Cellar Review:  This beautiful wine has the very deep red, almost purple, color that you would expect in a Chianti. The first thing you notice is the fruit, balanced by a bit of spice. It’s a good dry wine with a bold flavor.  Even with it’s boldness, this Chianti is velvety smooth.

My Review:  The smell was very stronger.  It has a sweeter/fruitier smell with a hint of dry and acidity.  The taste was terrible, and the wine was hard to drink.  It was very bitter, dry, acidic, and tart.  I mean very dry.  I was not eating any food while at the tasting.
