Tasting - Monte Degli Angeli Sangiovese



Name: Monte Degli Angeli
Variety: 100% Sangiovese 
Region: Puglia  
Country: Italy 
Year: 2013
Price: $7.95

Shop Review: "The aromas are rich and dark, with lots of black cherry and hint of balsamic. In teh 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." 
-Vintage Cellar, Blacksburg 

My Review: Cherry notes on the nose. Very spicy, maybe smokey end notes. Front palate is sweet, with some acidity and definitely semi-dry. 

Tasted without food.
