Podere La Vigne - Vina do Tavola, NV
This was me starting things off in style with a Montalcino-based sangiovese wine from Podere, a Brunello producer. I think that it is a 2005 but that was due to a clue on the label. What it definitely is, is over-production wines bottled up and flogged cheap. It was medium dark-cherry red, consistent, so very young. Nose was a bit closed but I could pick up some cherry. In the mouth it was a delight - rich tannins, dark fruits and a bit of pencil-lead. Very elegant, very young and the conclusion was that it would be ready in about four or five years, suggesting it was made as Rosso di Montalcino. Astonishing value.
