| 75 | | | 88 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | Tuscany’s icon red wine grape, Sangiovese (80%), blends with Cabernet Sauvignon (20%) to craft this modestly priced “Super Tuscan” style red wine. The grapes (which in some years may include other varieties besides these two) are vinified separately in small barrels and bottle in the spring after harvest. Alcohol is 13%. Medium-bodied, with an intense ruby red color, the wine exhibits aromas of rich dark fruits with spice. On the palate, easy tannins frame deep dark fruit flavors with spice and hints of vanilla from oak. As the wine unfolds, it develops further complexity and depth in the glass. Consider decanting for 10-20 minutes before serving. Winery suggest short-term cellaring only, and if older, serve slightly warmer than recommended above. I would still keep it quite cool. Foods: Dishes with rusticity, lots of garlic, plenty of seasoning: pasta with garlic, smoked mozzarella and a creamy sauce; ricotta-stuffed pastas in tomato sauce; grilled sausages; sausage with peppers and onions; beef or lamb steak; chicken cacciatore (hunter style with mushrooms, tomato and red wine); flavorful aged cheeses.
