2016 Chianti Montespertoli DOCG Sonnino, Tuscany, Italy

Delicately tart red and blackberry nose with cherry notes, citrus notes, some herbs, dried floral aromas, nuts, tobacco, pepper and a hint of tar. Ripe, fairly juicy fruit on the palate, some chocolate notes, slightly astringent tannins, light acid bite, herbaceous notes, touch of citrus fruit, quite a good finish.
