Fantastic value: a big, vibrant, balanced, and instantly drinkable 50-50 Montepulciano / Sangiovese with a nose of every kind of berrie. I'm biased/sentimental but wines like these are why I love wine.

This kind of relatively inexpensive wine packed with nice extraction with typical Italian minerality just makes me happy. Lots of fruit and smoky flavors. Similar to a very good Rosso di Montalcino but with more subtle earthy component. It would be hard for me to pick which I like more. For $18 or so you will not be disappointed and probably wonder (like me), why you didn't buy more of it.

50/50 Sangiovese/Montepulciano. Pretty nose of cherry juice, Indian spices and a touch of brett. Medium to full bodied with low to medium acidity. Round and fruity with black cherry and plum and maybe a bit of damp earth. Nice depth of fruit.

Deep color with a medium body. Full of clean fruit flavors and long finish. A very tasty blend which will go with most food. A good value.
