Tasting - Villa d'Rosso Toscano

Name: Villa d'Rosso Toscano
Variety: 100% Sangiovese
Region: Montepulciano
Country: Italy
Year: 2012
Price: $6.95
Winery Review:
"100% sangiovese grapes and is a wonderful rendition of a velvety Tuscan red."

 My Review: Mainly ripe red fruits on the nose (cherry for example) with with seems like a soapy quality as well.  The wine itself is fairly light bodied for a red but comes with plenty of tannins that make your mouth feeling fuzzy and dry.  The taste is mainly of strawberry and cherry with a few earthy elements.  The aftertaste of heat and red fruit lingers for a few seconds.  I did not try this wine with food.
