A big Sangiovese with some punch to it, this is a great general purpose food wine. Predominant flavors are cherry and dark plum, with some acidity to the finish. It is fuller bodied than the average Sangiovese, pairing nicely adobo loco steak with poblano, corn, and crispy potato hash. Bellissimo!

Bold blue and black fruit flavors throughout the night with this surprisingly bright and floral elixir. Medium-minus acidity with medium-plus body make this a yummy addition. Just the right amount of oak gives it a nice touch on the finish. Blueberry wrapped pepper steak with jammy violets sums up the nose and palate. Lots of flavor! Cheers!

Harsh biting scent, smooth over the tongue like light warm cream an a brisk early autumn morning. Tastes like grapefruits and just past ripe plums. Hint of pistachio.

A superlative food wine, this Sangiovese dominant blend tastes of blueberry, cherry, and plum.

This is a first time with this type of wine. It's full bodied and ruby red in color. It has a nice smooth finish. It was given to me as a gift, I will most likely buy it in the future!

Dry and earthy, but definitely some fruit too. Initially a little light and short on the palate, but very nice and enjoyable, especially on a summer day. As it opens up very good!! Tasted 7 July 2022. Really, let this one open for at least an hour (or two) and it is excellent!
