  Only enjoyed a few sips of this one. Tobacco, cherries, bright and dark.. brandy, Kirsch, leaf.. rustic, italian, .. firm pale and structured, old school. Lighter notes coming through for me right now.. back and forth between light and dark notes.. on the cusp of instringency.. but then again I did have a joint. I could handle this any day... used the rest for my gravy!
  
  S**t! Poured too much in! My second bottle 😉 started to give me more earth.

  A $10 purchase. 100% Sangiovese from around Greve. Aged in Slovenian oak casks. Meade in a tradition style. Notes of cherries and lavender. Soft tannins. Lighter body. 86 points.

  This is a pleasant CC, with a nice base of subtle cherry throughout. Acidity is moderate to low, but it still pairs well with food (spaghetti one night, steak the next). There's a rainwater-over-stone minerality keeping it firmly old-school and a bit rustic, and on the whole it is soft and very drinkable.
