Chianti 2006
Blend: Sangiovese 90% + Canaiolo 10%
Tuscany, Italy
9.00 USD
Luna Nuda translated means "naked moon" produced at one of Tuscany's oldest wineries (established in 1865). This luscious blend exhibits a fragrant bouquet of bright cherry flavors. Soft, with a remarkable smoothness, it is ideal with light cheese or red-sauced pasta dishes as well as a variety of frilled meats (bottle label)
It's Friday wine night again! And so here we [Derek, Marie and I] are with a bottle of Luna Nuda Chianti that Derek had purchased from the Vintage Cellar a few weeks ago. We are pairing it with a delicious starter of caprese crostini and oddly enough a caprese pizza. There seems to be a recurring trend of caprese in our diet as of late. Anyway the wine certainly had a very pronounced cherry smell to it. There were hints of other dark red fruit smells as well and I was thinking plum but not to certain on that. The alcohol was pretty evident on the nose and the oak was coming through as well. On first sip the cherry aspect came though clearly. There was a strong tannin presence to the wine, which paired with the fruit kinda reminded me of cranberries. The alcohol was present in the wine at first but mellowed out after a while.
