  About 20% me thinks? Softens the Sangiovese 'bristle' no doubt but not sure it lifts the standing of the wine in a material manner. For the price (760 baht) it's a decent Tuscan offering for Thailand and sound in all respects. Rounded but still with the necessary savoury tang keeping good definition. Not a heap of flavour penetration and indeed a touch generic but def no complaints from me.

  This wine was given as a gift while in Italy. It is clearly a blend with sangiovese and must have some portion of merlot and perhaps a few other international varietals (e.g., a touch of cab sauv). Deep in color, it has nice acidity but just short of enough to balance the concentrated and juicy fruit driven flavors. It is an enjoyable wine with deep fruit flavors, vanilla and some spice and intense flavors that require a deep, earthy meal of game or meat.
  It is a drink now wine with little overall structure and nowhere for the fruit to go so dont keep it around for long. Grill some lamb and go to it.
