Classic bouquet of Sangiovese with aromas of plum, sour cherry, black currants, violet, soft leather, cedar and spicy notes. On the mouthfeel, medium bodied, dry, tight package with very good fruit/acid balance and silky tannins. Good tangy finish on this Chianti with sweet/sour berry fruit, light cedar and vanilla flavours lingering. La Sala Chianti Classico Riserva 2008 is made in a more traditional style, feels young at the moment. As with most Italian wines, this is best served with food, a short time in your cellar (1-2 years) and you should be rewarded with a superb wine. Strongly recommended, tasted January 15, 2013.
