Hello,
Today we talked about Sangiovese. Historically the Sangiovese is from Tuscany in northern Italy. Now it is found in more places including the McLaren Vale in south Australia. The grapes are normally small and grow in loose bunches. The color o the wine is normally light to dark red. Its aromas consist of Earthiness, caper, sour cherry, and tobacco. On the palate there are normally intense flavors and there are dry tannins.
1) Torresella
Made in: Toscana 2013
Alc/vol: 13.5
Price: $15
Appearance: The cores brick red with a pomegranate color rim. The wine is transparent which means it is light bodied,and there are some violet hues so I would say that this is a young wine.
Aroma: This wine instantly gives off a barnyard smell. This means that the wine was infected with brettanomyces. This is very overpowering but there are also some subtle cherry aromas and some subtle gamey aromas also.
Palate: There are moderately intense flavors of cherry and sour cherry that starts off with a low intensity on the front palate and builds on the mid paste coming to a high point on the back palate. Also oak is present making this a complex wine. The tannins are also very pronounced and lave a powdery texture.
Thank you
