Perfectly adequate Sangiovese. But if you paid over $100 I feel bad for you, son. It's a $25 wine.

A little confused as to the expression, though still very young so will be interesting to see how this evolves.

Nicely balanced wine on the lighter side with red fruit including bright cherry and plum along with soft notes of leather and a hint of smoke on the nose. More juicy red fruit, some prunes, on the palate with a touch of black pepper and subtly chalky tannins on a medium finish. Opens up more by the following day with stronger leather smells and berry flavors and smoothed out tannins. A bit expensive for what you get but very nice food wine, went well with my Beyond burger, perfectly with my homemade pizza

Wow. Fantastic! This 2012 italian wine is perfectly balanced. hints of tobacco and notes of cherry. Drinking very well now, which is quite interesting as some reviews from 2017-2018 hinted that this wine needed to evolve.

Stewed blueberry, black berry and fresh currents, floral (Violets?) leather/tobacco, warm spice (cinnamon). Med high, astringent tannins, medium acidity. Chewy, delicious. Will seek out again
