Remole, Toscana, IGT, Italy, 2007, $11.29
buy it here at wine.com
Straight from Central Tuscany comes this this rather yummy red blend of Sangiovese(%85) and Cabernet Sauvignon(%15). Its not super fragrant, but there are subtle, pleasant aromas of plum, fresh fig, and mild oak, with just a nuance of vanilla. Its medium in body, super easy going, and its soft oak lends structure without being overbearing. Not to mention its smooth as silk tannins, this is one wonderfully balanced wine. Though the fruit isn’t ‘in your face’ it is quite juicy with plenty of ripe red raspberry, and strawberry jam. This smooth Tuscan treat is perfect for pizza night. I enjoyed it with bacon and onion toppings, but could see it working with a sweet sausage topping as well.

My favorite wines are those from Tuscany and I enjoy seeing nice reviews of ones I have never had.
Definitely will put on my “spot it, buy it” list.
