Community Tasting Notes (average 89 pts. and median of 89 pts. in 2 notes) | |
| Tasted by hutch on 12/28/2008 & rated 87 points: This was a solid bottle of wine, with pretty high acidity. But there was nothing offered here that made me want to get another bottle. It seems to me that most of these Vino Nobile's taste the same. A better option is to spend less money on a good Chianti or spring for a Brunello. (116 views) | |
| Tasted by Rupert on 11/1/2008 & rated 91 points: At Apuleius: gamey nose, a whiff of the farm, lots of rich blackcurrant fruit, full bodied, the tannin nicely married - a really super tuscan (140 views) |

About red wine SANGIOVESE: (Pronounced "sahn-joh-veh-zeh"). Semi-classic grape grown in the Tuscany region of Italy. Used to produce the Chianti and other Tuscan red wines. Has many clonal versions, two of which seem to predominate. The Sangiovese Grosso clone Brunello variety is used for the dark red, traditionally powerful and slow-maturing "Brunello di Montalcino" wine. The other is the Sangiovese Piccolo, also known under the historical synonym name Sangioveto, used for standard Chianti Classico DOC wines. Old vine derived wine is often used in the better versions, needing several years ageing to reach peak. A third clone, Morellino, is used in a popular wine blend with the same name found in the southern part of the province. Recent efforts in California with clones of this variety are very promising, producing medium-bodied reds with rich cherry or plumlike flavors and aromas. Among the available clonal versions are R6 and R7, derived from the Montalcino region of Italy, having average productivity/ripening and producing small berries on medium size clusters. R10 and R24 are well-recommended. R23, listed as deriving from the Emilia-Romagna region, has good vigor with medium-small clusters with earlier ripening. R102 derives from the Montepulciano region and reported to have average vigor with moderate productivity that results in higher sugar levels and good acidity from medium-small berries on medium-small clusters. Has synonym name of Nielluccio where grown in Corsica.
