This had been purchased at the winery. First time trying a sparkling Sangiovese wine. Deep salmon pink in color. It has a nice mousse with small to medium bubbles, clear and bright. The nose is nice if not expected. Green apples with slight rhubarb and strawberries. Medium bodied. Good acidity. On the palate, apples, and slight strawberry notes. Moderate finish. A pleasant wine that will work better with food than on its own. Drink now.
This is a blend of 90 Sangiovese and 10% Colorino from central Italy. Deep ruby in color, mostly opaque and bright. The nose has cherries, with some cranberries and slight spice. Medium bodied. Medium tannins. On the palate, plums, slight chocolate and spice. Clean. This drinks easy. Nice on its own, this is very food friendly. A nice plate of pasta would work well. Drink over the next seven to ten years. Great value.
This is a Sangiovese wine from Emilia Romagna in Italy. What an impressive Sangiovese! Deep garnet in color, mostly clear and bright. The nose is nice with cherries, black cherries, anise, tea leaves and slight ground coffee notes. Medium to full bodied. Good acidity. On the palate, this is young with some tannins. Lots of cherries, black cherries and plums with underlying forest floor/earthiness. Good finish. There is some depth but this will take a few years to unwind. While drinking well already, a few more years of cellaring would help. If not, give it plenty of air before se
This is made with California grapes, shipped cold to Ohio for production. It is one of the mysteries of wine as to why some many winemakers in California, struggle to produce Sangiovese, while in Tuscany (including Chianti), there are so many good ones and even a few great ones. This is a nice wine but does not resemble the Chianti's in Italy. But, that's ok. Purple in color with some ruby swirls, mostly opaque and bright. The nose has dust and black cherries (so far, so good). Medium bodied. On the palate, the acidity does not come thru, but there is plenty of cherry fruit along wit
This is Sangiovese from the excellent 2016 vintage. Garnet in color, clear and bright. The nose has cherries, tea leaves and spice. Medium bodied. Good acidity. Light tannins. On the palate, this has nice cherries with slight sour cherries and a hint of forest floor. Some anise on the long finish. This wine is meant for food. A plate of pasta with marinara sauce would be great. Drink over the next five years.
