Rocca delle Macie Tenuta Sant' Alfonso Single Vineyard 2018 Chianti Classico (DOCG), $14.99-$27.99, 89 points, poured pomegranate red with deep bourbon flashes, a deluge of stained legs, and a broad clear meniscus.
Aromas of black tea, dried cocoa, floral notes, and black cherry cordial were quite good.
More than a medium-bodied bone-dry red wine with good acidity, a firm underlayment of tannin, and flavors reflective of the aromas were also quite good.
Finished long on the cocoa, hints of cayenne and fennel with what I thought was a bit out of balance 14.5% alcohol.
Paired okay with my pepperoni pizza.
