Variety: Sangiovese

Region: Montepulciano

Shop review: "100% sangiovese grapes and is a wonderful rendition of a velvety Tuscan red." -Vintage Cellar, 2014
My review: Villa d'Rosso Toscano Sangiovese wine poured a blood red in the glass. My nose inhaled notes of cherries and strawberries. The bouquet was very fragrant.  Unfortunately, the taste did not impress as much as its scent.  Cherries stood out on the mid palate with a mouth of tannins upon its dry finish. There was nothing spectacular about its flavor and I was not particularly impressed with this red.
Food: I did not pair this wine with food.
