La Spinetta Chianti Riserva Casanova 2007

Blog

While there is lots of complexity to be found in the 2007 La Spinetta Chianti Riserva Casanova, but individual elements come across as slightly underripe. Aromas of Black olives, saddle leather, roasted bell pepper, black cherries, smoke and burning embers fill out the nose. On the palate, it’s mid-weight, but there is little in the way of fruit, save for a dab of blackberry jelly. Earthy notes give way to tobacco and dried herbs, echoing a repeating chorus of the greener tones found on the nose.
