This is a lovely smooth and VERYdrinkable wine.........where one or two glasses is definitely not enough. It accompanies food really well or light enough to drink on its own, hence the "dangerous" description. Highly recommend this to all "red wine" lovers!

This is one of our regulars and we invariably have several bottles in reserve. We finished a bottle last night following a silky Chateauneuf du Pape and it was well received by our guests.
...juicy enough......

The Chianti grape as grown in Romagna. Surprisingly only 12%ABV. I wouldn't have said it was anything but definitely on the fuller side of medium weight. It's juicy enough but the finish is very dry. It works better then when it’s with food and swishing down a tomato-sauced chunky pasta like rigatoni. Plenty of people seem to like it so it's just down to personal taste and price probably. Sangiovese on its own can be tricky on its home patch in Tuscany. Even when on offer I think I'd choose something different for the money that had some more defining character and maybe another grape in the mix.
Full flavored.

This is a full bodied mellow and very drinkable wine,with no bitter after taste. Not sure whether it would be good value for money if full price.
very good buy

Sangiovese is one of my two favourite grape varieties and although this is not a Chianti it is a good example of the delicious results this grape is capable of. At half price it is a bargain not to be missed.

I hadn't used to be that keen on Italian reds, but this has been a pleasant surprise. It is medium- bodied and accompanies most food well. It makes for a satisfying gobful and the after-taste is more than passing. If you can get it for under a fiver - even better.

A soft light wine that most would enjoy with red meats and cheese, also very consistant throughout the vintages. Would not hesitate to recommend
