Tasting - "Monte Degli Angeli Sangiovese 2013"

Name: Monte Degli Angeli Sangiovese
 
Variety: 100% Sangiovese (Nielluccio)

Region: Puglia

Country: Italy

Year: 2013

Price: $7.95








Vintage Cellar Tasting Notes:

The aromas are rich and dark, with lots of black cherry and a hint of balsamic. In the mouth the wine is round and energetic, with cherry and black raspberry fruit complemented by hints of damp earth. If you like Sangiovese-based wines like Chianti or our best-selling Colsanto from Umbria, you'll love this! The wine is ripe, fresh, and fruit-driven with a wonderful dash of earthy complexity at the end. Buy it by the case and drink with pizza, grilled poultry, and pasta.


Personal Tasting Notes: 

I really did not like this wine as it was bitter and tasted like sour cherries.  There was a bouquet of blackberries and ethanol as well as a slight bit of tobacco.  Additional flavors, I detected were that of tobacco and spices on the finish. Although I feel this wine would go well with steak.

This wine was tasted without food.
