Schmeckt nach Brombeere und Sauerkirsche, dazu kommt etwas Tontopf, Pfeffer und Veilchen?; Die Balance: Säre+, Tannin+; ein guter Alltagswein - zum Essen durchaus gut - Passt zumindest gut zu Pesto und Nudeln.

Opened for an hour. Nose is very interesting, dirty, poop, barnyardy. Fruity on the palate, a tad metallic. Not much of a finish, everything is up front. The nose is the real winner here.

The ancient Frescobaldi Estate in Tuscany has produced wine since the 15th century. Frescobaldi, their everyday red, is consistently tasty and overachieves for its modest price. A blend of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon, this accessible red pleases greatly and whisks you away, if only fleetingly, to the Italian countryside.
Pale garnet color. Ripe wild cherry nose with leafy violets, sweet earth and slightly jammy impressions. A general "fat" sensation sticks in your nose. A smooth, edgeless mouth texture with soft, dried fruit sensations and just enough acidity to clear the taste buds. "Si lascia bere" as the Italians say - it invites you to drink it. Good everyday choice from this venerable producer.

Decent Italian table wine for $8. Probably better with food, red sauce maybe lasagna. 86/87.

Purchased off a restaurant wine list. Simple with cherry and dusty tannins. Nice, but nothing to write home about.
