Red cherry, tart raspberry, cinnamon, nutmeg, slightly savory, licorice on the nose, slightly Brett, and flint, med plus tannin and acidity. Love the delicate oak note on the nose. Great entry level wine from Mocali.

Cherry, strawberry and raspberry notes. Floral notes as well. Nice acidity to match perfectly with a Bolognese.

Tannin and skunk reside right away, but that goes away as it breathes. Spicy, earthy, oaky in a good way. Bold, full bodied. Great by itself, but would be great with food, especially tomato based.

Finely intense nose of cherry, leather, and dried flower. The medium-bodied palate has prominent acidity with firm tannins, yet stays fresh on persistent finish. Sustainably farmed, pair with wild boar ragu, if you don't have any on hand try hearty tomato-based pasta dishes.

Tart cherries and berries with grippy but short lasting tannins. Great acid. Just a touch of oak to give it some maturity and round it out. A great way to experience Sangiovese at a value price. Brunello’s baby brother. Really love this wine. 20$ in PA

Mushrooms and forest floor. Abundance of non fruit but still plenty of crushed dried red fruit to balance everything. Med body with some grip. An excellent value for Montalcino.
