  Color: ruby, translucent to a little degree.
  Nose: fresh, bright and fruitful. Straightforward strawberrry and ripe apples. Interesting spicy (some ginger?) and dry wood tones. Overall medium intensity and rather pleasant.
  Palate: light-bodied and bright. It's all minerality and acidity, with only so little fruits on the backstage. The acidity is rather prominent and seems to be off balance given the lack of complexity, though not drastically. Sharp, young tannins. Short finish.
  Not sure if it'll age well.

  Nice table wine with Italian tomato sauce based dishes. Good for the price.

  Clear, Medium Ruby.
  
  Nose is clean with light intensity.
  Cherry notes with subtle hints of mint and leather.
  
  Palate is dry, medium acid, medium body and med+ tannins.
  Finish is short.
  Notes of sour cherries with subtle hints of green lettuce appear.
  
  This wine is all about Sangiovese. There is nothing here blowing my socks off. The components are well integrated. This wine would make for an acceptable outdoor BBQ pop and pour.
