2004 Marchesi de' Frescobaldi Rèmole Toscana IGT
12/20/2006 - Xnuiem wrote: 92 Points
What a great surprise! I am always looking for an good to excellent wine that I can find, and is affordable. I usually have to settle for wines in the $25-$30 dollar range to get this, but this wine was perfect and for only $10!
Light ruby color, slightly off Sangiovese nose, not super bold like most Super Tuscans, with a smooth finish. Ready to drink now, but could also probably age for a couple of years without issue, perhaps getting even better. I have never gone wrong with a Frescobaldi wine, and this is no exception, perhaps our new house pour.
I had to score higher than usual due to the excellent value this wine represents, so go buy a few, enjoy with food as all Italian wine is meant to be enjoyed. Good with pork, lamb, and even chicken due to the smooth finish and subtle flavors.

We were very unimpressed with this wine. I am unsure exactly what they did to this Tuscan wine to get such a boring and unimaginative flavor, or lack thereof, from the Sangiovese grapes, but whatever it was, they should write a book on how not to make a Tuscan wine. The food overpowered the flavor completely, so much so we didn’t even bother finishing the bottle.
