Jeez, Foodie, you seem like such a smart guy but you're just wearing my withered middle-aged tail out. Okay, let's see...what does a Chianti taste like? The original poster obviously had an idea or he wouldn't have said that it was un-Chianti. So we have everything from the spritzy, flaccid stuff we've all stumbled across from time to time, all the way to stuff like Coltibuono's basic Classico, to things like Monsanto Il Poggio. What's the Chianti here? If you have an answer for that one, you're smarter than me, not to mention half of Italy, because every Italian I know has a vastly different idea of what Chianti tastes like.

Maybe the person who started this thread likes the Sangiovese on a loose frame with a tad of Caniolo, food-wise acidity level, and maybe even saying the phrase, "Would you like a glass of this nice Chianti?", which I enjoy saying, myself. The idea that any class of wine has to taste a certain way seems indcredible to me. If all else were equal - people buying the same fruit, from the same vineyards, using the same equipment, in identical bottles, with matching labels, the wines would STILL be different because those individuals would make the wines in different ways, suiting their own tastes. Gather any group of five California Cabs and try to say they all taste alike. Can't be done.

That's the conclusion I'm jumping to: that wines are not REQUIRED to taste the same just because they're from the same region, town or even vineyard.
