A lighter wine with dried strawberry aromas on the nose. Sweet cherry and black currant. Great with pizza. The legs are fast. There is no sediment in the bottle. Would definitely buy again! (1030 views) | | | Tasted by Micky Vino on 1/13/2019: Great earthy wine (1122 views) | | | Tasted by VinoHunter on 11/30/2018 & rated 87 points: Little too simple this time around... (1055 views) | | | Tasted by redmancge on 8/13/2017 & rated 87 points: Would agree with JAYW this wine is starting to some around with some more age behind it the red fruit and floral notes are showing through with a short decant. For sure better than last time I tried it. Should hold up for a while longer to see how it develops further. Not sure I'd chase it again but a decent QPR value at $13. (1868 views) | | | Tasted by jayw on 8/3/2017: Better than it was a year ago. Enticing nose of dried red fruit, herbal, floral, earth notes. More of same on palate. High acid. Very good for $13. Would buy more at this price. (1885 views) | | | Tasted by VinoHunter on 2/4/2017 & rated 88 points: Again a very interesting wine. It reminds me of the great table wines while traveling in Italy. Simple and smooth. (1352 views) | | | Tasted by jayw on 11/28/2016: Better than previous bottles. Helps that I'm trying it again on 2 day and picking up some of the dried strawberry/floral notes in this wine. It's coming together better on day 2, a sign that it may improve with age. (1272 views) | | | Tasted by VinoHunter on 11/23/2016 & rated 88 points: This wine is interesting. Medium/light in body and easy drinking. (1163 views) | | | Tasted by jayw on 11/9/2016: Interesting sour cherry herbal character to this wine, but to my astringent to be truly enjoyable. Iodine and iron too. (833 views) | | | Tasted by jayw on 10/25/2016: Sour cherry, sage, earth. Subdued nose; palate on the astringent, bitter side. May need time to improve, or this may be as good as it gets. At $13 I'm not complaining, though I wouldn't buy it again. (587 views) | | | Tasted by redmancge on 10/22/2016 & rated 85 points: Maybe it was the Colorino in blend or something but wasn't too impressed and wife decided after first glass need to pick out another for the homemade pasta primavera. Actually glad we did as the 08' Panza Syrah choice was awesome. Maybe check back n it tomorrow and hope for an upgrade since I still have 3 more (513 views) | | | Tasted by JimEaton on 9/3/2016 & rated 89 points: Well balanced. Decanted and drank over two days. Lots of dark fruit. (532 views) | | | Tasted by allensounhein on 1/17/2016 & rated 91 points: Decantged again and had with spaghetti and salad very very good color and legs, nose is ok (915 views) | | | Tasted by KSWinegeek on 12/27/2015 & rated 89 points: Colorino adds darkness and aromatics to predominately cherry and mushroom nose. Tart cherry on attack and mid; short finish flavorwise, but acidity lingers. Simple, straightforward and good value. Paired with well with leftover Christmas tenderloin. Update - not much drop off day 2. (860 views) | | | Tasted by allensounhein on 12/26/2015 & rated 90 points: Very nice color and nose had with pork tenderloin and a great match (784 views) | | | Tasted by ASW on 12/21/2015 & rated 85 points: Surprisingly deep dark purple color. Mild nose, mushrooms, lichen, forest floor. Quick start, jumps to the finish too fast upon the first sip so you get tannins and bitterness before any fruit upon the first sip. After a little oxygenation it softens up a lot and become quite pleasant. I'd suggest decanting this wine. Its still a little back-heavy with a bitter aftertaste. (844 views) |
| Fattoria Fibbiano Producer websiteSangioveseSANGIOVESE: (Pronounced "sahn-joh-vhe-se").
Sangiovese - Italy's claim to fame, the pride of Tuscany. Traditionally made, the wines are full of cherry fruit, earth, and cedar. It produces Chianti (Classico), Rosso di Montalcino, Brunello di Montalcino, Rosso di Montepulciano, Montefalco Rosso, and many others. Sangiovese is also the backbone in many of the acclaimed, modern-styled "Super-Tuscans", where it is blended with Bordeaux varietals (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc) and typically aged in French oak barrels, resulting a wine primed for the international market in the style of a typical California cabernet: oaky, high-alcohol, and a ripe, jammy, fruit-forward profile.[16]
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.Italy Italian Wines (ItalianMade.com, The Italian Trade Commission) | Italian Wine Guide on the WineDoctorTuscany Tuscany (ItalianMade.com) | TuscanytToscana IGTHere is the Wikipedia entry for Toscana wine. |
