Country of origin: Italy
Wine appellation: Tuscany , Chianti
Vintage: 2007

For comparisson please refer to my tasting of 2006 vintage tasted two weeks ago. This vintage is better than 2006, but it is still basic Chianti. Unlike Duca di Saragnano from Classico appellation this wine will not improve with age:-) it is probably best to drink it right now.
