I decided to open something from Italy and landed on the sangiovese because I've been watching videos of WineKings on YouTube. The older British fellow loves sangiovese. I'm rating without a lot of exposure to this grape varietal, so perhaps my filter is off. The nose was much darker and spicier than I expected, perhaps from oak? There was almost a campfire feeling to it. I think I was expecting something brighter. Overall, this wine felt heavy and dense with a linear quality that never really developed into anything more.

Medium-bodied with a smooth finish and slightly dry. A solid wine at the price.

Wonderfully balanced bottle of sangio. Think we drank at optimal point. Purchased at total wines.

Medium bodied, with savory red fruit and a zesty character. Excellent with fresh basil pesto.
