This Sangiovese serves up a round and supple feel in the mouth, with intense flavors of cherries and wild berries. Tannins are medium-smooth and this balanced wine offers good aging potential.

90 points, Wine Spectator (Oct. 09): "Shows sweet plum and black cherry notes, with hints of flowers. Full-bodied, with ultrafine tannins and juicy fruit. Pretty and delicious already."

This Smeriglio is a great companion to red meats, sauce dishes and game meats.

Enjoy now or hold for a decade or more.
