Here’s an Excellent, Value-Priced Sangiovese

Di Majo Norante 2014 Sangiovese (about $11) – Looking for a solid, easy-to-drink Sangiovese at a reasonable price? This flavorful Italian stunner will fit the bill and make you think you’re drinking something twice the price.

Amazingly complex aromatics and flavors highlight this overachieving red wine, beginning with an earthy/floral nose that also displays hints of spicy, perfume-like violets.

On the palate, you’ll enjoy lighter fruit flavors to start with black plum near the finish along with lingering, peppery accents.

Tasted blind, you might think you’re drinking a New World Sangio, but the payoff is finding you’ve discovered this tasty Old World gem…and at a highly affordable price.
