Sangiovese’s naturally warm, earthy tones come straight at you and are surrounded by a pretty frame of red fruit, almond, red apple, plump berry and pipe tobacco. This is a distinctive, unique wine that boasts an individual personality and solid roots in Brunello tradition. It has chewy tannins, delicate flavors and a refreshing, long-lasting finish.——M.L.(3/1/2008)—— 91
