 Tasted by Gwalchgwynn on 11/10/2013 & rated 87 points: Decent wine for the price. Has more structure and less acidity than I'm used to in a Chianti, but at <$10 a bottle it's a solid bargain. (2265 views)
 Tasted by mwneil on 5/25/2013 & rated 88 points: My wife drank it while i was travelling and loved it " better than Borsao" which is some complement from her. (2525 views)
 Tasted by mwneil on 2/6/2013 & rated 85 points: Good basic fruity chianti. Good wine for the price but no complexity. (2638 views)
 Tasted by dkstar1 on 1/9/2013 & rated 85 points: Pleasantly surprised. Perfect for weekday drinking and unbelievable QPR at $8.98. I should've bought a ton of these while I could. Now they are on backorder, bummer. Much better than other bottles in its class and price-point. (2700 views)
 Tasted by Kesslerc14 on 11/16/2012 & rated 83 points: Tart berries. (2811 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.
