100% Sangiovese and aged for 24 months in oak, bright Ruby with pleasant bouquet of fruit and floral aromas. On the palate soft fresh berry fruit flavors with complex spices and smooth fine tannins. Lingering finish ending with subtle oak and earthy tones. Great value, nice find.

Full and slightly tannic, with a great bouquet and notes of violets! Drink it with parmesan cheese!

Mmm. Nice tannins/flavour profile. Worked great in/with tomato sauce. Great with steak too.

Solid little Sangiovese. Fuller and fruitier than most Chianti. Versatile food wine.

Umberto Cesari Sangiovese Riserva 2018: Medium-bodied. Great balance. Soft tannins. Red fruit. Leather. Oak. Spice. Dry long finish. Love seeing a CSPT favorite found at our local RWC delicatessen half a world away! Overall, an elegantly-produced Sangiovese from Emilia-Romagna with great flavors & great value. Happy Sunday to all! Cheers🍷

Big fruit punch aromas and flavors. Vanilla also dominates. Simply too Jammy. Almost sweet.

Nice bouquet, smoky and dusty with herbs and tobacco. Roasted wood as weel. Full-bodied with an aftertaste of black fruits, violet and salty caramel. Ample and greasy mouth. Lingers sweetly. Complexity at its best.
