Lovely wine but definitely needs to open up a little so, be patient.

Very nice - a great gift from my neighbor as we made shrimp/chicken scampi. Nice smooth finish, light color and soft fruit on the pallet. Very enjoyable.

Fantastic wine, paired well will pasta and arrabbiata sauce. Silky Smooth Sangiovese. Fruity with smoky oak vanilla notes. Long finish. One of my favorite Italian reds.
