Clear garnet. Nose of black cherry and roses. Medium light, fruity palate of black cherry, violets, and a hint of anise. Medium plus acidity. Medium minus tannins. Hey, it’s a solid Sangiovese that’ll go great with Italian-American fare or medium cheeses. Drink now.

Bright ruby. Inviting nose of black cherry and patent leather. Echoed on the medium-bodied palate adding red apple and cranberry wrapped in medium plus acidity and medium tannins. A masterful Sangiovese wielding great QPR at ten dollars. Priced for pizza, but built for sturdier stuff. Tomato based Italian fare is its natural friend. Drink now through 2022.

A nice, well structured Sangiovese to accompany a good red sauce meal - crisp on the nose, mature red fruit throughout with a good slightly leathery and muted spice finish. Keep this one flowing!

Super light. Fruit heavy. $8 pizza wine. Not bad.

Almost sour; got a bite to it that veers on unpleasant but I like the way it finishes.

Very light and smooth, and little TOO light....not very complex. Would be good with pizza...
