Da Vinci Riserva Chianti 2003
Sangiovese
from Tuscany, Italy
winemaker's notes:
100% Sangiovese
Matured in new French oak barrels for 12 months then in bottles for an additional 3 months.
Color: Ruby red with rich chromatic nuances
Bouquet: Distinctly fruity with dark cherry overtones that are balanced with hints of vanilla and cinnamon.
Palate: The flavor reflects the spicy undertones and fruit of the bouquet supported by balanced tannins. This Riserva exhibits concentrated black fruit, plums, and ripe cherry fruit with spicy undertones and is balanced by fine, soft tannins and a full mineral finish.
Excellent with roasts of red meat, grilled meats and dishes with truffle oil and mature Pecorino cheese. Serve slightly below room temperature (16°C–20°C).

EXCELLENT CHIANTI...
Smooth & Supple
A Customer - New Hampshire
We had a bottle of this at a North End Boston restaurant last night. The wine was fruity, well balanced and smooth, with just enough tanin.
It went well with my Pecorino & Provolone appetizer and Veal Pizziola entre.
A Customer - Chowchilla, California
We loved this wine. I took it to a friends home that was bummed about her husband etc. and we drank the whole bottle.
So it's great with no food Too!
