Sangiovese the grand Italian grape is the dinner wine this evening. Paired with homemade lasagna. This is a $10 bottle which is a far cry from $50+ you usually see from its more fashionable older brother Brunello di Montalcino.This wine is reported to have been scored a 90. It has an oddly and highly perfumed nose which reminds me of baby powder (not a plus). The palate is a confused and shallow melange of tart fruit. It all ends too soon and leaves a bit of a metallic aftertaste. I should have opened one of my Brunellos.
