A expressive Sangiovese Merlot, nice and modern style with a lot of red fruit and pronounced nose!

One of my favourite value wines but sadly not available in Ontario. Medium-bodied with refreshing acidity - great for summer sipping!

Excellent price point and great body. Not too heavy, bit of spice, and smooth finish - just a little tannin.
