Vintage Cellar Tasting - Castello Sonnino



Name: Castello Sonnino
Grape Variety: Chianti Montespertoli
Region: Chianti
Country: Italy
Year: 2010
Price: $15...Sale $8.95
Cellar Review: A blend of Sangiovese, Canaiolo, Trebbiano and Malvasia del Chianti. Rich and modern, with a dark, saturated color and aromas of graham cracker and lemon rind. A juicy palate packed with plum and raspberry is carried by a creamy texture that’s rather toasty in terms of flavor. The finish is round, full and chocolaty.
My Review: Very strong aromas of black cheery and plum. The taste was a bit spicy - it's a very strong and bold wine. It would be great with steak and mashed potatoes. 

*Did not have with food
