>>I'm STILL waiting for someone to cough up what this regional character of Chianti is that was so freakin' vital to defend.<<

Ok, here:

A Chianti SHOULD taste and smell of the dust of the tuscan hills, dried cherries and leather.

It should NOT taste and smell like plums, chocolate, vanilla from oak or herbal notes from cabernet.

Case in point, taste something from Il Poggiololino. Fabulously typical on all levels from basic Chianti to Le Balze VDT and, to use one of my favorite customers' favorite descriptions "taste like they were made on an actual farm with pigs in the vicinity and will be fabulous with those same pigs".
