Other reviews:
From the Vintage Cellar:
“Produced exclusively from grapes grown on the estate and showcases winemaker Alessio carli’s talent with the rape. Growing up in Tuscany, Alessio watched his father make Chianti and later honed his skills at the renowned Badia a Coltbuono. Our Estate Sangiovese taste of cranberry and intense bing cherry with undertones of anise and a lingering finish. The depth and complexity of this wine has made it an annual best seller and the ultimate companion to great Italian cuisine. Typical of this varietal our Sangiovese wines have matured and we have been rewarded by increasingly rich fruit.

My rating scale works as such:
1. Never Again
2. If someone else bought it
3. I'd keep it in mind
4. At least one more time
5. Going to get another bottle right NOW!
