Simona Barberana
Saracosa Toscana Super Tuscan Blend
Tuscany, Italy
Better paired with spicy pizza, Italian sausage. Alone, immediate pronounced cherry and berry, medium bodied, subtle chocolate and faint sweetness. Interesting blend, would buy again. 2013 vintage

Graphite and cherries on the nose. Smooth chocolate, red and black fruits on the palate. Velvety tannins, and juicy acidity. Well played wsj

Rather dry and tannic with hints of cherry. Had with a tomato,basil and mozzarella chicken dish. Paired okay. Was very dry with a lingering finish. Wasn’t great. Wasn’t terrible. When I think of Italian table wine-this would fit that mental image for me.
