Tasting - Bell’agio Chianti

Name of Wine: Bell’agio Chianti
Variety of Grape: Sangiovese
Country of Origin: Italy
Region of Origin: Chianti
Vintage Year: 2021
Price: $14
Shop/Winery/Critic Review: “Not a bad pick for the limited selection of Chianti our local liquor store supplies. Blackberry and cherry on the nose, notes of leather, medium finish. Have tasted better Chiantis, but would buy again” Karsen (2023)
References of specific flavors/aromas/grape characteristics: According to Wine Folly, wine made with sangiovese has flavors of cherry, roasted tomato, sweet balsamic, oregano, and espresso. (Pg. 162)
My Review: This wine was very dry. It had a very interesting flavor which made sense once I saw what Wine Folly said you would have hints of because they are very unique and different from one another. When I first took a sip of this wine I didn’t really like the flavor, but then I ate a piece of sharp cheddar cheese, took another sip, and really enjoyed it. I felt like the sharp cheddar softened some of the really bold flavors I was getting when I first took a sip.
