This is the everyday Tuscan red from Bartenura, 100% Sangiovese from Toscana IGT. It is made for Friday-night brisket and weeknight pasta, no second thought needed. It is Mevushal and Kosher for Passover, and it is the kind of bottle you keep by the case in the basement.
Mood: red-checkered, easy, useful.
You do not study this wine, you pour it. Mevushal, KFP, Sangiovese, and that settles it.
Tasting notes
The nose is dried herb and bright cherry, with a touch of dusty earth and a savory whiff of olive. On the palate it is light to medium-bodied, showing sour cherry, red plum, and a thread of tomato leaf, with lively acidity that wants food and soft tannin. It finishes slightly tangy and dry, classic Sangiovese, ready for the next forkful.
Food pairing
It is built for brisket, spaghetti and meatballs, pizza, schnitzel night, or a Shabbos lunch with deli. Because it is both mevushal and KFP, Pesach hosts and caterers can pour it without a second thought.
