Community Tasting Notes (average 86 pts. and median of 86 pts. in 1 note) - hiding notes with no text

 Tasted by Sean McGrath on 1/16/2021 & rated 86 points: Very nice for an inexpensive everyday wine. Plum, blackberry, maybe dusty leather. It was perfect with a variety of sausages and cheeses.

I tried the Chianti from Castellare di Castellina and it's one of my favorites, so thought I'd try the IGT Toscana as well. For the price, definitely recommended. (312 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.
