Wines#6: Verrazzano Rosso 2007

Recently I've discovered really nice italian wine from Tuscany. It comes from Chianti region. The full name of this wine is Castello di Verrazzano Rosso 2007. I've also found a few nice words about this wine on wine.com webpage: "A dynamic and adaptable red wine which has retrieved the old tradition, now in disuse, of mixing red chianti with white grapes: the body and fruity taste of sangiovese and canaiolo combined with the softness and fluidity of trebbiano and white malvasia create a pleasing wine suitable even for contemporary gastronomic creations. Light-bodied, harmonious and round on the palate, with flavors of red fruits, black currant and plum."
My personal opinion about this wine is that it's really light, tasty, has some plum and other wild fruits in it and it definitely needs to be open at least half an hour before drinking. It's for sure worth its price and in Poland you can buy it only in Winnice Południa - my favorite wine store.
