While this wine is very drinkable, it tastes nothing like Sangiovese from Italy. Not even the fruit profile. It tastes like a Napa Valley blend of very ripe; Merlot, Cabernet & Cabernet Franc in that order. If you fancy that style, you’ll enjoy it. If you are looking for Sangiovese, you’ll be somewhat disappointed.
