A tremendous value for a tasty, food friendly wine that has some "stuffing" to it. Deep garnet in color, mostly opaque and bright. The nose is open with cherries, pomegranates, forest floor, slight earthiness and sandalwood. Medium to full bodied. Light to medium tannins. Good acidity. On the palate, this is open and drinks easily. Flavors of cherries, dark cherries with some underlying earthiness. Good finish. This is nice on its own but better with food. It would be perfect with a plate of pasta or a pizza with tomato sauce. Drink over the next five years.
This organic wine from Tuscany is 100% Sangiovese fermented in terracotta amphorae and aged in wood barrels. Deep purple in color, mostly opaque and bright. The nose is nice with dusty cherries, slight spice, leather and slight thyme. Medium body. Medium tannins. Good acidity. On the palate, flavors of cherries with a bit of dust. Good finish. This is drinking well now and should continue for another five to ten years.It is nice on its own but better with food. A great choice for Pizza nights but also a classic pairing with pasta.
