You'd think that you could guess what a 100% Sangiovese tastes like. Four of us thought that this was more complex that what we'd expect from a 100% Sangiovese: instead, we thought we'd found a blend with Merlot or Cab. Somehow, this 100% Sangiovese accomplishes the finish, body, and complexity of more sophisticated blends. It starts tart and fruity, but the finish is peppery, long, and evolves over time, like the best Bordeaux blends. This is a Sangiovese to share with all your friends who don't think Italian wine is as complex as French.

Amazing set of complex flavors jump at you... bouquet of spices with a very long finish. It is amazing that a 100% sangiovese Chianti has so much complexity.
