Name: Villa d'Rosso Toscano
Variety: Sangiovese
Region: Montepulciano
Country: Italy
Year: 2011
Price: $6.95
Winery Review: 100% Sangiovese grapes and is a wonderful rendition of a velvety Tuscan red.
My Review: Dark chocolate was predominant on the nose, but I also got licorice and dark red fruits like strawberry and pomegranate. On the palate there were spices, red peppers, and strong tannins. The mid-palate was chewy and bitter and had a gritty surface texture. This was a pretty standard red for me, and although it was enjoyable I don't know that I would go out of my way to purchase this. It was not paired with food, but I can imagine red meat or beef brisket would go well with this Villa.
