Acclaim
Best Buy - Here's a highly recommendable Sangiovese-based wine from Molise in Southern Italy. It's a well-made wine with soft and plush notes of black cherry and milk chocolate with a rich, succulent finish. It's perfect for stay-home family dinners by the fire.
— Wine Enthusiast, Mar 2009
Discovering Italy's Finest Wine Values - The 2007 Sangiovese is made in a super-ripe, racy style, with plenty of forward, plump fruit. In the glass, notes of earthiness, spices and tobacco emerge, adding further complexity. I loved this soft-textured Sangiovese for its sheer appeal.
