2000 Sangiovese

This may be the finest value in pure Sangiovese in the marketplace. There are 15,000 cases of this offering, made with the assistance of the brilliant Umbrian oenologist, Riccardo Cotarella. A great buy, it is an embarrassment to 90% of the California Sangioveses that sell for three to five times the price ... and are inferior wines. This deep ruby-colored 2000 offers an expressive perfume of sweet black cherries, new saddle leather, and spice. This fleshy, fruit-driven Sangiovese is a total treat to drink. It will not make old bones, but for consuming over the next two years, this delivers the goods. Importer: A Leonardo LoCascio Selection, Winebow Inc., Hohokus, NJ; tel. (201) 445-0620
