What should be sharp, is not, what should be overbearing fruit from a whiff, is actually well tempered and herbaceous. Tuesday afternoon, indeed.

Easy drinking - some fruit on the nose and medium tannins - but nothing distinctive or memorable about this Sangiovese.

Fantastic Tuscan pure Sangiovese - very fruit forward but well balanced and terrific "age" at finish (has that brown ridge of oxidation even just after opening, so don't expect years of aging for this one!). Drink now! Enjoy now!

Nothing fancy about this wine. Just an easy drinking red with moderate complexity that's good with a bolognese or with friends after work.
