 Tasted by Yonny on 4/7/2023 & rated 87 points: My initial tastes are a bit too sweet but good acidic balance. I tend to prefer 100% Sangiovese but the blend creates a more drinkable wine at 1/3 the price of the good ones (677 views)
 Tasted by gritterhouse on 12/12/2022: Trader Joe's red blend good daily drinker (966 views)

Sangiovese Blend

Sangiovese blend is used in CellarTracker for Italian wines to represent wines predominantly made of Sangiovese and blended with traditional Italian grapes. It is different than SuperTuscan which is a blend of Sangiovese with non-traditional (eg Bordeaux) varieties, often in closer to equal portions. For example, Chianti is at least 80% Sangiovese and will always be listed Sangiovese blend.
