What would an Italian dinner be without a good bottle of Sangiovese. This wine has a high acidity content with a moderate plus tannin and a moderate body. Flavors include roasted tomato, red currant, and black pepper. Essence of cinnamon and sandalwood is also noticeable. Pairs very well with rich meats and tomato-based dishes such as eggplant parmigiana. A good spaghetti with marinara sauce would also benefit from the flavor profile of this wine. For an extremely affordable wine it does the job well. But it's nothing too special.
