Tasting - Monte Degli Angeli

Name: Monte Degli Angeli

Variety: VSangiovese

Region: Puglia

Country: Italy

Year: 2013

Price: $7.95

Shop/wine critic/winery review: The aromas are rich and dark, with lots of black cherry and a hint of balsamic. In the 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.

My review:  This wine had a very oaky, dry taste to it.  I could smell a significant amount of cherrys on the first and second smell. When tasting the wine I got a raspberry flavor as well.  I did not particularly enjoy this wine. I did not try this wine with any food.
