Seems a bit dumb on the nose, showing some bitter almond and green strawberry notes. On the palate this is not the most expressive, but boy is it well balanced and lively without being lean. Round and smooth with simple cherry and strawberry fruits, de...

Chianti Classico Melini Terrarossa 2007
Snoothrank:
Hands down the best Chianti I've ever had. Bottle says "2007 Terrarossa Chianti Classico Riserva.". Wonderful wine. Slightly fruity nose, very nice finish. Had almost a buttery smooth clean finish to it. Bottle didn't last much more than an hour! Very very nice. Was given it as a gift but have not been able to locate it since. Read More

Chianti Classico Riserva D.o.c.g " la Selvanella" Casa Vinicola Melini 2006
Snoothrank:
Dark ruby hue with an orange rim, and black plum, spice and dark chocolate aromas; leads to tart black-fruit and spicy oak flavors, with integrated, warm tannins and and a pleasingly long finish of acidity and sweet, wet wood. Read More
