A very nice wine. Juicy black currant, blackberry and cherry. Balanced acidity and medium tannins provide a little backbone. 1 Note

I've had this luscious Chianti two times now, and both times it was great. Understated red fruit on the nose, with a hint of spice and ripeness. A smooth, medium weight in the mouth, with very nice structure, and a medium, tasty finish. I have had it with tagliatelle and a fusilli, both with a light tomato sauce complimented nicely. Would also pair with a nice pork roast with rosemary. 1 Note

Medium on the palate, aromas of cherries leather and toasted oak and light tannins. Flavors are consistant with the aroma. Winery notes say some vanilla and other trace aromas/flavors, but I'm not getting it. I don't think it's that complex. It's comparable, really, to a young, basic Chianti. Pair this one with pork chops or your favorite brand of hard cheese and crackers. $16 1 Note

Casalino’s 2005 Riserva offers up classic Old World Sangiovese with its deep garnet color and herbaceous aroma to include, perhaps, a tart cherry note in the nose. Flavors include mother earth, tart cherry cobbler, and some black pepper. The last five years have been good to this wine as it has a medium-bodied, smooth, and silky feel in the mouth and a solid finish. This paired superbly with our dinner of chicken with Italian herb marinara and sun dried tomatoes. I don’t think I could have paired it better actually. I think the fact that it was a fuller-bodied Chianti (being a Classico Riserva) lent a more harmonious blending of the wine and the marinara. A young Chianti may have been to light. At any rate, this is a great value at $15, however, Total Wine has it on sale currently for $13. Highly recommended
