Casa al Vento "ARIA" 2016 Chianti Classico (DOCG), $14.44-$32.99, 90 points, was an opaque garnet red with a crystal-clear but thin wine ring and light to moderate legs.
The bouquet of cinnamon, black tea, mint, and floral notes were excellent.
An unusually heavy-bodied (near full-bodied) dry red wine with fair acidity and a firm underlayment of tannin delivered the bouquet tartly onto the palate with flavors that followed with anise and thin plum notes.
Finished long on the fading palate, iron, easy pepper spices, residual drying tannins, and a well-balanced 13.5% alcohol.
Paired perfectly with my pizza supreme.
