It’s no Ferrari but it is red, a bit spicy, and has just a little attitude. I’m talking about Danzante’s Sangiovese. The bottle I found in my wine cellar was from 1998. I found out on their website they only started this variety in 1997. It’s not as common to have a Sangiovese this old as most are bottled “ready to drink”. But people are finding some are aging better as the various wineries improve and refine they wines. I tend to gamble a bit with wine and this was one of those. I bought a few bottles and “lost track of them. The gamble has payed off. This is a very nice wine. Too bad I only have 1 or 2 more bottles under the dust (hichup).

Winemaker’s Notes

Region: Delle Marche

Description

Our 1998 Danzante Sangiovese has a brilliant ruby colour and a personality that is delightfully different from Tuscan reds from the same vine.

Vibrant layers of dried cherries, ripe red berries, plums and spices, with a touch of mineral complexity, highlight the aromas and silky flavours.
