Drank 3/3/18 with grilled pizza. Excellent pairing.

Needed a wine to pair with pizza, which can often make for a difficult food to pair with. This fit the bill. Mostly Sangiovese, and I believe a bit of merlot to round out and soften the edges. Cost around $10

Nose of cherry, and a hint of earth and tar. Bright, sweet red cherry on the Medium palate. No detectable wood, but light to medium tannins lend structure. Cherries carry through on the Medium finish.

3/21/7/4/3 +50 = 88 pts.
Would highly recommend with pizzas, tomato based pasta sauces, or any food where a simpler wine is needed.

Definitely a good sandwich wine. Fruit-forward, spicy, and soft tannin. P good for a cheap Italian.
