Tasting- Castello Paneretta Chianti Classic


Name:  Castello Paneretta
Variety: Chianti Classico
Region: Tuscany
Country: Italy
Year: 2009
Price: $24.99

Winery Review:  Elegant, Raspberry, Cherry, Medium-bodied Int'l Wine Cellar - Tuscany, Italy"...aromas of dried red berries, cherry-cola, crushed stone, violet and rose, with a subtle note of vanilla in the background. Palate-staining red cherry and redcurrant flavors are complemented by licorice and aromatic herbs...finishes with strong grip..."

Personal Review: Unmistakable wine! Honestly, probably would not try it again. It reminded me of the taste of a bitter melon. Very earthy. I did not get any of the flavors described above. All I got was the bitter and very dry after taste. Could not move past the after taste. The finish is the only thing that I could focus on.
