Bright n ripe and super cheap which is good since my new shirt that is making me feel sassy isn’t. It is tasty but with somewhat of a bristly edge sorta like kissing and getting your face lightly (albeit not ideally) scratched by a five o’ clock shadow. So I’d do this wine but it should shave next time.

Cherry aromas. Fairly simple. Strong tannins that create a substantially dry, astringent, mouth-puckering finish... A bit too much for my taste. Probably better with food than for sipping. 12.5% Alc.

Not bad for a table wine with pizza. $24 at a restaurant.

I can tell it's Sangiovese, vaguely. Good for a kids pizza restaurant

Just wow. Blew all of us away at dinner for the price. Goes well with Indian food.
