2011 Rubattorno Winery Chianti Montalbano Riserva D.O.C.G.

Estate: Rubattorno Winery

Region: Chianti Montalbano, Chianti, Tuscany, Italy

Tasting Note:January 29, 2016

Ruby red but definitely clearer and more see-through than the regular 2013. Very tight to start with dark chocolate and black cherries. We sealed the bottle for day two. Nose did not change much except for only a subtle hint of black cherries. Definitely smoother and more integrated than the 2013 but still very dry with moderate acidity. Very tight on the palate, dry with paper-like qualities. Finish is almost moderate in length. A little shorter than expected. Definitely drink this wine with something along the lines of pasta or stew, significantly improves.
