The least convincing of a handful of similarly inexpensive and young wines tried at an event in the office, but the only one where I remember both vintage and the producer. Medium garnet, not a particularly expressive nose, a strangely musty palate for a Sangiovese, and a short finish. The best of the wines tried was a light but elegant 08 Cru Bourgeois Pauillac (88), then there was a Mondavi Merlot, an Amarone and at the end of the quality range this basic Ricasoli Chianti.

Palatable, but a tough slog. It's rough, rustic, and harsh. Food helps...a little. Made for the non-discriminating palate.

Great body, rich fruit and smoked flavour. Works with red meat, cheese and/or just for pleasure.
