Il Poggio
Sangiovese Rubicone IGT
2008
The color is ruby purple, and it has a jammy nose, with smoke and earth and tobacco. On the palate there's more jam, with plums, blackberries, and brambles. It finishes full, almost languorously. It's fun, but it's not very like a Sangiovese, withal; not very acidic or lean or intense. Do we like it? Sure, it's nice. But I prefer mine to speak Italian.
Price: $13.60
E allora? È bello, ma non è italiano.

I like your take on this wine. True Sangiovese tends to be more acidic, no? I hope you don't mind but I would love to direct our Foodista readers to your post. If that's ok, please add your choice of widget to this post and you're all set! http://www.foodista.com/food/6WLKFC4K/sangiovese/widgets/
