Winery Review: 100% Sangiovese grapes and is a wonderful rendition of a velvety Tuscan red.

My Review: This wine’s bright ruby coloring spoke of its well-balanced flavor. As this wine was poured into the glass, I could smell strawberry jam. This jammy quality was beautifully pared with copper. The sangiovese grape (which is also used in Chianti) gives the wine a raspberry-plum flavor. This wine was well-integrated and finished with a pleasantly long, tannic finish.

With food?: I tasted this wine without food.
