Wine Maker Review: "Bell’Agio Chianti D.O.C.G., available in the traditional straw-covered bottle (known as a fiasco), is a vibrant, ruby-red wine with a full bouquet reminiscent of violets. The taste is dry and smooth with zesty notes of cherry and berry fruit. It is ideal with veal, Italian dishes and cheeses."
My Review: I adore this wine. For my best friend's 21st birthday we went to a nice Italian place and got Chianti and it was amazing, so I have been trying out Chiantis every since. When you first smell this wine you get plums and a little bit of that alcohol smell. The alcohol smell worried me because sometimes cheaper wines taste mostly like alcohol and they just kinda suck. When you taste it however you do NOT get the alcohol taste but you get cherries, candy, raspberries, and more andy and this lovely zesty spice. I LOVE IT. I've gotten it approximately six more times because its just delightful. It has a lighter body and the fruit/candy and spice just make a perfect medley. I love red colored candy (because its usually cherry or strawberry or raspberry) and it tastes just like that. One night I drank a whole bottle before bed just because I loved the taste so much.
