Smooth and delicious, great with food as usual. (2948 views) | | | Tasted by karpos on 4/9/2011 & rated 89 points: Still great with food. Has smoothed out a bit, but still has a rough back edge, not unpleasant though. (2965 views) | | | Tasted by BMorelli on 2/24/2008 & rated 89 points: Excellent wine for the price. A little tannic on first taste, but wine opened up quickly and held up to the pasta dinner well. (3622 views) | | | Tasted by MichaelF on 9/29/2007 & rated 88 points: Great rosso. I think WS under-rated this wine at only 85 points. Dark fruit, but nice tannins and good integration of acidity to hold up to food. (3761 views) | | | Tasted by karpos on 5/31/2007 & rated 90 points: Tight, still very young, but still a great bottle. (3952 views) | | | Tasted by karpos on 4/10/2007 & rated 89 points: A great pairing with food. Seemed harsher and more tannic this time on first sip, with less fruit, but really blossomed well when paired with salmon (citrus ginger glaze). (2121 views) | | | Tasted by Prego on 2/20/2007 & rated 88 points: good everyday wine with big red fruit and juicy acids. (2468 views) | | | Tasted by karpos on 12/27/2006 & rated 90 points: Drank with Mom and Dad. Great with food. A balanced, non acidic Tuscan. (2185 views) | | | Tasted by trankin on 6/15/2006 & rated 91 points: Trip to Italy 2006 (part 2); 6/13/2006-6/15/2006: Big thick red plums. Yummy. Excellent rosso, especially for a mere 10 Euros! Really quite nice. (4176 views) |
| Baricci 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) | TuscanytMontalcino Montalcino websiteRosso di Montalcino Consorzio del Vino Brunello di Montalcino |
