Love the high-tone character from the North of Montalcino. Lacks just a notch of concentration, but is otherwise a very, traditional example and a pleasure to drink.

All the hallmark characteristics of young Sangiovese at a ridiculously fair price. Cherry, clove, tobacco, rose petal, a bit of mint in the back. Polished tannins, very bright acidity. Another great Marc deGrazia import.

Right wine, right time. Typical for variety, region and vintage. They don't all have to be blockbusters...

Quite a nice showing from a hot year. Pretty pure, restrained, great acid tension still. Medium tannins and a nice finish. Great pairing with sausages and fresh pasta.

This is getting to be a drag @Delectable Wine. This is the Rosso Di Montalcino. Interesting wine. Herbal, citrus and earthy.
