San Gimignano Sangiovese 2008
Another one from Majestic
that's on a deal at the moment (2007 is advertised on the web site) - £8.99 if
you buy two.
One of the first places I visited in Tuscany. A slightly unusual area in so
far as it does have its own DOCG (DOC 1966-1993) for whites, under the guise of
Vernaccia di San Gimignano, from a local strain of Vernaccia thought to be
unrelated to any other, but at the moment is awaiting DOC status for Rosso di
San Gimignano despite it having had success with Sangiovese for quite some time,
and more recently with super Tuscan style international blends.
But, given all of this red-tape means the price might well be more
competitive, enjoy this one at the deal price! Fruity enough to be approachable,
lots of characteristic cherry flavour, but balanced with enough oak and savoury
tannins to make it a more satisfying drop.
