The 2007 Chianti Colli Senesi is an excellent choice for readers looking for a delicious value-priced Chianti. The wine offers vibrant black cherry fruit on a medium-bodied, classically structured frame although the tannins dry out a bit on the finish. It is made from biologically- farmed Sangiovese, Colorino and Canaiolo. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2010.
