Wine Tasted:

Di Maio Norante Sangiovese 2008

Dry red wine of Molise, Terra Degli Osci, winery in Campomarino, Italia. Tart black currant, licorice, cigar box, Alum powder, coriander, Date-Fig-Asphalt, charcoal grill, slight tannin background, faint spice light-weight on the palette, terrific acrid crispness in the finish. Tastes delivered way beyond price point. Inexpensive shallow well bottle says it all: drink it young, drink it often.

I would serve this wine for:

Everyday, and dinner if thou insist on drinking wine with food? Me, not so much.

I shared this wine with:

Angelina (Genovese) my Sicilian bride for post work daze relaxation.

The nose on this wine reminds me of:

Black Currant licorice.

This wine would pair well with the following foods:

What have you: pasta, meat entrees, pizza e cannelloni, or simple Pasta della salsiccia del pomodoro con i carciofi.

I think this wine is priced:

Is priced at maybe 1/3 actual price of 90 point vino so delivered.

If I have any gripe with this wine, it's that:

Cheap bottle, but macci, che cosa il heck, it saves money for them to lower our price?
