Winery Review: Dellatori has a long, notable history of providing esteemed wines from Italy's most renowned vineyards. Following true Italian tradition, each of our wines is crafted to enhance gatherings with friends and family, ideally with a table full of festive foods. The wine has bright, cherry aromas and soft vanilla and berry notes. The ideal wine for fresh pastas in tomato, basil and oregano based sauces.
Vivino Rating: 3.6 stars
Wine Folly: Pg. 162, Sangiovese. This wine is high in acidity, tannin, and body. This grape is almost exclusively grown in Tuscany's Chianti region. Main tasting notes include cherry, roasted tomato, sweet balsamic, oregano, and espresso.
My Review: After a full tasting of this wine, I felt like it had almost no flavor. I noticed that the wine was extremely acidic and tannic, and that is almost the only thing that I could focus on. I was able to pick up on slight notes of cherry, plum, blackberry, and plum; I also thought it tasted strangely floral in a way. We also tried this with shredded mozzarella cheese to try to cut the tannis/acid with the fat to try to pick up on some of the flavors underneath, but we were unsuccessful. I would say that it is an overall basic wine that would be good with any meal honestly, but I thought it didn't have any notes that really stuck out to me which was a bit disappointing.
