We really struggled with the Tuscany section of our wine list as we've tasted hundreds of mediocre and over priced wines. This wine is neither and really made us stand up and pay attention. It's soft and very easy drinking but with the spiciness and rusticity that we were looking for in a well made Chianti. This will be delicious with so many winter meat dishes and will improve as the months go by. Tasted 09/09/11
