Well balanced, fruit forward, round and smooth. Surpsingly light but no lightweight, holds it's own. Good start and better finish. In three words and in this order: fruit, silk, toffee. Solid buy for the price ( $16).

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

I was excited about this wine because I really enjoyed the Crocodillo. However this is a big wine in need of a big meal.Great full wine for a lower alcohol wine. Fruity on the nose with a crisp finish.

Another great find, and seemingly unusual for the country of origin. It's a crisp, mineral tinged wine, but with strong floral notes as well. I've never tasted an Italian white so reminiscent of a French Viognier. But with a more tangy, metallic component that I enjoy to temper the sweetness. A very enjoyable impressive wine.
