This Sangiovese-based blend, which also includes 10% Merlot and a bit of the two Cabs, used to be labeled ‘Rosso’. It is quite ripe, almost cooked, and its flavors are round, sweet, warm, soft and almost tropical. This is not your typical Sangio, what with its flavors of bananas and cherries, and just a hint of tobacco.——P.G.(8/1/2007)—— 86
