I had this wine with delivery pizza (in Tokyo).
Deep ruby color. Very floral and full of fruits aroma, like violet, rose, ripped dark cherry and plum. Also aroma and bouquet of raisin, licorice, and chocolate. Flavors of berries with medium to bright acidity and silky tannin. Well balanced, elegant, long finish. Medium body. It may be better to decant or to wait for 30min after open.
Because of this richness of fruits flavor and acidity, this wine truly mariaged with Pizza Margherita!!
The grape varieties are 80% Sangiovese and 20% Malvasia, Merlot, and Cabernet franc. After assemblage, this wine spent about 13 months in French oak barrels, 25% new and the rest from 1-3 years old. (Reference: http://www.castellodiama.com )
2007 is excellent vintage for Chianti Classico. Yes, I truly agree with that! I love this wine:)
This wine is available at this online shop;
This site has an English page as well (at the bottom of this site, there is an "English" link), but they ship only within Japan.
