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:  In the wine glass this wine was a dark red color.  It smelled artificial, almost like a bouncy ball.  On the palate this wine had a medium mouthfeel and was very dry.  The flavors were very interesting and hard to distinguish but it had a plastic/rubber taste to the wine.  I could not overcome those flavors so I only noticed one level to the wine.  Not a great wine by itself, but if it was paired alongside red meat it would probably taste much better.

I did not drink this wine with food.
