 Tasted by Stephen Webb on 12/22/2023: Mid ruby. Ripe cherries and raspberries on the nose. Medium bodied. Soft tannins. Needs decanting to open up. (171 views)
 Tasted by ManhattanBeach on 8/23/2023: A visit to Riecine, hosted by Iacopo: Greatly preferred to the CC tho the Gran Selezione is even better. This is from 35 year old vines. Better integrated, less grippy on the finish, and more generous. 7-8k bottles made. (250 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.
