This wine is
a pale ruby in color, made with Sangiovese Grosso and opens up with aromas of
red berry fruit, sour cherry, red plum, light cedar and floral notes. On the
mouthfeel, medium bodied (14.5% alcohol), bone dry, intense, red fruit and
spicy flavours, lively acidity and fine dusty tannins. Short to medium length
on the finish with red fruit and cedar flavours, slightly tart and those same
dusty drying tannins lingering. A definite food wine, very enjoyable with
Italian pasta dish but not for sipping on it's own. A more traditional style of
Sangiovese, somewhat lacking in complexity, to drink now or over the next 1-2
years. Score 88 points
