A light-bodied, delightful blend of Sangiovese and Sagrantino- a grape I’m really starting to warm to. This particular wine is kind of the ‘baby’ of the family of the Umbrian producer Col Santo. Rich ruby color that leads to a relaxed but bright nose of red berries. The palate, too, is very light but still brings a playful exuberance along with it and would pair with a broad range of food from chicken-based dishes to a good, greasy cheeseburger. While so may not rate the wine as highly as it may deserve- I’m encouraged enough to make a run through the rest of the estate’s offerings… with my eyes pinned squarely on their Sagrantino. So still: thumbs-up all the way, especially for the price.

Nice balance between deep rustic tone and refined silky finish. Berries come through along with leather, castello and cherry and licorice. Light in texture but lovely full essence of rich Umbrian countryside. Very satisfying and super value.
