Borgo Scopeto Chianti Classico 2006

Tradional winemaking yeilding tradional flavors. 100% Sangiovese from and excellent vintage. Soft and food-friendly with lively notes of wild berry, anise, almond and cola. The velvety mouthfeel is cleansing and bright yet there is enough structure and acidity to stand up to meat or cheesy pasta.
- wine tasting note by JN, 9/9/11

Ripe black cherry and wild strawberry on the nose backed by black, candied licorice and a little spicy wood. Not heavy in the nose but plenty dark. The mouth today has tangy acidity and nice grippy tannins. Again, it's not heavy, but it's definitely a wine with edges. The fruit in the mouth echoes the nose nicely and finishes clean and bright. I think this wine will soften nicely in the coming 6 - 12 months. -WB, tasted March 2009.
