Tasting - Codirosso Chianti

Name: Codirosso
Variety: 90% Sangiovese, 7% Canaiolo, 3% Colorino
Region: Tuscany (Chianti)
Country: Italy
Vintage: 2015
Price: $3, on sale for $7.95

Shop Review: "A heck of a value in Chianti, this delicious blend of 90% Sangiovese, 7% Canaiolo, and 3% Colorino offers up notes of licorice, new saddle leather, black cherry and berry fruit, loamy soil undertones and a touch of pepper and herbs. It is medium-bodied, savory and best drunk over the next several years."

My Review: I liked this wine!! It had a nice ruby red color. I got a lot of oaky/smokey aromas. Definitely astringent (that dry feeling in your mouth) but in a good way. 

Pairing: Not yet, but I did buy this wine so I'll have to update you on what I pair it with :)


Cheers!
