We don't get that much Italian wine labeled as Sangiovese around here. This one was good, but not great. Had that sweet tart feel in the mouth, a little puckering. Still a pretty genuine rendition of Sangiovese. Color was on the light side, magenta light. The nose seemed acidic, but with a lots of red cherry. Light to medium bodied. Quit acidic, begs for food. Makes you want to take little sips. Minimal oak treatment.

Color: deep ruby nose: nice aromatics - quite floral with darker fruit. Pure and expressive, with darker fruit than most entry level sangio's. Soft and approachable, but good acidity as well. Nothing profound, but very enjoyable.

Good sangiovese with nice balance and flavor; modest finish; as pleasant the second day.

Rich, ripe and fruity. Raspberries and blackberries in the nose and mouth, med-firm tannins. A tad shallow but not too bad.
