  I am not a fan of sangiovese generally. Really a pedestrian pizza wine to me, save for Brunello. This one's nice though. The red cherry and tomato are present. So this is identifiable as a sangiovese. But there's more other fruitiness than normally here. Almost a bit merloty. Not much in terms of tannins or acidicity. Decent and serviceable. And that's a real compliment from me for any sangiovese. EDIT: found out that this has more merlot than sangiovese. So the reason I liked this a lot for a sangiovese is that it has more merlot, my favorite grape, than sangiovese. So what we likely have we is would be a decent merlot messed up by some sangiovese blended in :)

  Tasted at Casa Tua in Marbella: Very dark and purple color, subtle nose of cherries and maybe some brambles, well integrated tannins. Some pepper on the palate.Good finish; wine is well balanced and has a good, harmonious finish.
  At this stage probably 5 years too young. Basically agree with the review of vvWine.

  This has some odd lavender and tartness notes that i do not recall from earlier vintages. Also a bit chemical on the nose.

  (Assemblage aus Sangiovese und Merlot, 14.5% Alkohol). Kräftiges Rubinrot. In der Nase mit viel Frucht, reife Brombeeren, Schwarzkirschen, Veilchen, ein Hauch Lakritze. Im Gaumen zugänglich und fruchtbetont, feine Tannine, samtige Textur, die Frucht ist knackig, harmoniert mit der Struktur, viel Frische ist hier mit im Spiel. Mittellanger Abgang, rotfruchtige Rückaromen. Ein bereits heute gut zu trinkender Wein, der bis 2030+ Spass machen dürfte. 90 vvPunkte
