Boschetto di Montiano Io & Te (Red)

    Semi-translucent. Restrained nose, slightly gamey in a nice savoury way. On the palate, youthful jammy ripe black and red fruit up front with some youthful spritz, followed by taut red berry minerality and weighty structure. Youthful zippy and juicy red fruit with ripe tannins, hints of black chocolate and roasting coffee. Finish is fresh with surprising green tannins and over-extraction. Overall, a cheap-and-cheerful fresh and unoaked Morellino with ripe Sangiovese fruitiness, but nothing special.
