Chianti
Italy
2012$8
A little hot on the nose, it is a savory, earthy wine. Flavors that come to mind are light fruit, leather, mineral, and wet rock. It has a very light body and rather weak finish. Lacking in forward fruit flavors, it is dry and a little hot, but not over powering, the flavors still come through. It has a very low viscosity, thin body and high acid. I get hint of toasted butter and herbs on an overall clean finish. This would pair well with a pasta dish, as it would match the acidity of a red sauce and hold up without overpowering it. The acidity and alcohol in the wine could also cut through the fattiness of a white sauce. Overall, the wine is a bit weak by itself.
