Online Review: 

Dry and balanced, lightly tannic which turns into velvety softness. Bright ruby red color, the Castellani Chianti Annata shows an intense and characteristic bouquet, fruity with violet fragrance and a slight hint of cherries and red currant.

Folly Review: 

Pg.162 Sangiovese- According to Folly this wine is very low in sweetness and very high in acidity. This gives it notes of cherry, roasted tomato and espresso. It also considers it to have fairly high tannin flavors, which I did not notice.

My Review: 

I thought this was wine was somewhat full bodied. I believe I found notes of black and red fruit like cherry and plum. It was somewhat fruity but not overpoweringly so, and quite dry. 

I did not pair this wine with food.
