It’s easy to appreciate the almond marzipan and black berry fruit aromas that characterize this ripe, ruby red. Other aromas of Indian spice, roasted chestnut and rubber put in brief appearances and add layers of complexity. This is an approachable, food-friendly Tuscan red.

Here’s a simple but genuine Sangiovese from the Montepulciano area that delivers measured notes of blueberry, spice, tobacco and leather. It’s a no-fuss red that is both lean and bright on the palate.

Fresh cherries, blackberries and blueberries come through loud and clear and are backed by almond nuttiness and mild toast. This is an attractive, fruity and fresh wine of medium consistency that would make a perfect match to grilled meats or lasagna.

This (mainly) Sangiovese does have a small Syrah component that explains its thicker texture and tighter tannins. The wine also seems on the ripe side with aromas that recall berry preserves and strawberry backed by almond paste and tobacco.
