This wine from the Trambusti company features a nose of pepper, leather and mint. The palate runs sharp, with berry fruit, black pepper and some pronounced bell pepper. Ripeness is in doubt here; the back end is extremely green and peppery, and just doesn’t have the fruit flavors of a well-ripened Sangiovese. But structure seems right.

Pale in color and with scents of wet dog, this doesn't seem promising from the start. Warms up a little on the palate, with modest cherry fruit, but seems a bit unclean.
