Cecchi Bonizio Sangiovese di Maremma 2009

Categories:

This seems to me to be a really versatile wine and can be paired with a variety of meals or another stand alone wine.  The Sangiovese grape is home to Italy and when we visited Florence we had a chance to enjoy this type of wine as it was readily available. As for the taste, it is not too complex and does seem a little dry and earthy.  Great price!

Its Italian!!!!! This wine is a combination of four different types of grapes (merlot, cabernet, syrah, and sangiovese-a red, Italian grape variety). To say this wine is complex is an understatement. It is very smooth and the mixed flavors of berry and a subtle hint of sweet cherry certainly bring it a unique taste. This bottle was only $11.99. An excellent deal for this special wine.
