Still great with Italian fare....not so much on its own. (2376 views) | | | Tasted by cjsadler on 5/15/2017 & rated 91 points: Drinking well right now, but still enough tannins to hang on for awhile. Wish I had more of this. (2516 views) | | | Tasted by shurpa14 on 8/25/2016: Ripe cherry, lots of wet soil, cigar box, cedar, smoke, spice. Tannins are mellowed out but still present. Medium acidity. Really a nice wine for the price.

Powerful nose with spice. Little to know tannins with a dark chocolate finish. Drink with rich pasta dishes. Wish I had more! 90-91 (2173 views) | | | Tasted by tonepad on 4/2/2016 & rated 88 points: Much better in a carafe overnight or with a stout meal on the first night. It has an interesting minerality, with cab like cab like cedar and leather notes. Not sure if I'd seek this out again but who knows. (2028 views) | | | Tasted by Tim221 on 3/6/2016 & rated 89 points: Good wine. Light bouquet on the nose, nice flavor, well-balanced oak. Lingering taste on the tongue. (2066 views) | | | Tasted by Bodyfxr on 1/30/2016 & rated 87 points: Still good with Italian fare. Finish is still quite tannic. (1614 views) | | | Tasted by studleytrey on 10/3/2015 & rated 88 points: Didn't take formal notes, but this showed pretty well with cherry and dried dark red fruits, along with some nice earth, leather, and tar, giving an overall rustic vibe that we enjoyed with a meatball hero. It showed aged, so I'd drink sooner than later. (1216 views) | | | Tasted by VinCrush on 8/12/2015 & rated 91 points: Impressed for a $15 bottle. Nice traditional sangiovese. Good bouquet even at open. I didn't think it improved all that much with air on day 1, but did get a little more open on day 2. Detected a bit more peppery spiciness than I expected, but not at all overwhelming. Good balance on the tannins and acids. Planning to buy a few more to drink over the next year. (2107 views) | | | Tasted by dfitzg2 on 4/10/2015 & rated 90 points: Paired very well with world-class Lasagna. Nice balance between fruit and mineral. clean finish. (1225 views) | | | Tasted by Bodyfxr on 3/12/2015 & rated 90 points: Still holding strong. Good qpr. Always great to go with Italian fare. (1262 views) | | | Tasted by Bodyfxr on 3/1/2015 & rated 90 points: Always great with Italian fare. Deep crimson with a scarlet edge. Tart cherries on the nose and palate with hints of earth and underbrush. Perfect medium bodied wine to accompany Italian cuisine.

Nice acidity, vibrant cherry, soil, iron, spice and smoke,deep red color. I'll be buying more of this for an 'any night' wine to open. (2479 views) | | | Tasted by tucsonwino on 2/1/2015 & rated 89 points: Really good, fruit forward, not much bouquet nice Sangiovese decanted about one hour. Drinking nicely now. (2688 views) | | | Tasted by vinole on 1/28/2015 & rated 87 points: This needed a fair amount of air (almost an hour) to open up properly and was better the second day. Still comes across as tightly wound with a little sourness in the cherry fruit profile and typical medium acidity. (2566 views) | | | Tasted by VinoBee on 1/15/2015 & rated 91 points: Gorgeous color to these eyes. Wonderful tomato peel aroma, almost tempranillo-esque sangiovese. Smells like a sandalwood casserole (wish I could pick out the other stuff in there). Structured and balanced on the palate. Obvious acidity, good fruit. Nice finish. Opening up by the minute. This is for lovers of old Italian sangiovese. It's drinking nice now, but I'm curious about giving it some years. Really impressed. One of the better wines I've had in some time, and great QPR. Oh, and it screams for some pasta -- heck, any food at all -- but alas I had none. (1970 views) | | | Tasted by Brendel on 12/14/2014 & rated 89 points: A very enjoyable wine and remarkable value for the price. Not strong bouquet, although typical of Sangiovese. Fruit-forward, mouth-watering, tasty. Was excellent on first night, but deteriorated quickly on second day. If you like Italian Sangiovese you will probably like this! Will definitely get more.
Second tasting: Again this wine is better on the first night; deteriorates on the second night. A nice and enjoyable Sangiovese, but not remarkable. (1518 views) | | | Tasted by shaftlet on 12/9/2014 & rated 89 points: Ruby red with slight hint of bricking. Nose is very fruit forward showing lots of dried cherry with some secondary leather, eucalyptus and fennel. Savory leathery, dried herb notes reinforced on the back end. Ripe tannins have some subtle grip. Medium-bodied. Medium plus acidity. Well done Morellino di Scansano. Drink now-2017. (1575 views) | | | Tasted by Justinneal654 on 11/22/2014 & rated 89 points: This was surprisingly tasty. Lot of rich fruit on the first flavor, got some dark barry to it, it's settled in nicely into a flavorful wine. (679 views) | | | Tasted by hugdiva on 8/27/2014 & rated 91 points: Went wonderfully with our Italian dinner - eggplant lasagna, sautéed zucchini, and sausage with peppers and onions.
Lovely oak notes that add a touch of sweetness to the wine framed by bright sour cherry fruits. (2063 views) | | | Only displaying the 25 most recent notes - click to see all notes for this wine... |

SangioveseSANGIOVESE: (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) | TuscanytMaremma On weinlagen-info |
