Wine Reviewed
Farnese Sangiovese Daunia IGT 2008 13% alcohol about $7
Let’s start by quoting the marketing materials. Tasting Note : Deep ruby colour; leather, cherry, marzipan, tobacco and earth aromas; dry, medium-bodied, with velvety texture and ripe cherry flavors. Serving Suggestion : Antipasti and appetizers, veal parmigiana, pizza, tomato-based pasta, hard, aged cheese. And now for my review.
At the first sips the Sangiovese is wine showed a solid, nice acidity with a decent length. I first paired it with a Middle-Eastern specialty called kubbe (or kibbe), ground beef in crushed bulghar jackets in a tomato sauce accompanied by sliced potatoes. The wine tasted of tobacco and black cherries. It didn’t have much tannins but did have good acidity. This was a hearty wine for a hearty food.
