Smoky & vibrant nose with flavors of black cherries, strawberries, rosemary, and thyme. Very dry. Very good.

The 2007 Russo Toscano will always claim the throne, but the 2012 is not far behind. The taste clings to the glass giving a patron anticipation for the first sip. Luxurious velvety feel as this wine touches the tongue that gives off a clarity to the evening. Seamless blend of tastes and aromas complete the picture of delectable wine. This will top my list.

Very full bodied for a sangiovesse blend. Thick and heavy mouthfeel. Not bad but definitely a different sort of showing for sangiovesse
