Tasting - Monte Degli Angeli

Name: Monte Degli Angeli
Variety: Sangiovese
Region: Puglia
Country: Italy
Year: 2013
Price: $7.95

Vintage Cellar Review: 
The aromas are rich and dark, with lots of black cherry and a hint of balsamic. In the mouth the wine is round and energetic, with cherry and black raspberry fruit complemented by hints of damp earth. The wine is ripe, fresh, and fruit-driven with a wonderful dash of earthy complexity at the end. Buy it by the case and drink with pizza, grilled poultry, and pasta. 

My Review: 
My initial impression of the aroma of this wine was earthy, almost like wet wood chips or a forest after a rain storm. The taste was smokey and spicy, with a slight taste of blackberry. Overall, this wine was okay. It did not stand out very much to me at all. 

I did not have any food while tasting this wine.
