 Tasted by Woodbridge Brad on 3/11/2019 & rated 86 points: Despite the Gallo connection this is a more than drinkable wine with good balance and personality and a very affordable price. Had by the glass at a pizza place, $8 a glass. Wine was better than the pizza. (1122 views)
 Tasted by chablis28 on 12/29/2018 & rated 89 points: A pleasant surprise! I've walked around this wine many a time thinking it was likely overpriced, mass produced, plunk with a cutesy name & label. In reality its a fairly well made, balanced example of classic Chianti. This isn't the second coming of Felsina Classico but it drank pretty well for the $12.50 I paid for it "on sale" at Byerly's wine store. Nita was making Wild Boar Pappardelle and needed a chianti for cooking so I snuck a taste of some of the left over wine. Semi translucent ruby red Cherry, mineral, earth, herbs on a fresh lifted frame. Tannins polished and the wine elegant and relatively weightless. Alc a reasonable 13%. You could do much worse for cooking wine or even everyday house red. (1795 views)

Sangiovese Blend

Sangiovese blend is used in CellarTracker for Italian wines to represent wines predominantly made of Sangiovese and blended with traditional Italian grapes. It is different than SuperTuscan which is a blend of Sangiovese with non-traditional (eg Bordeaux) varieties, often in closer to equal portions. For example, Chianti is at least 80% Sangiovese and will always be listed Sangiovese blend.
