There has been a lot of talk about Sangiovese in recent years. I have found most to be disapointing but I sometimes wonder if its just not my kind of variety. The location of the Langi Ghiran cellar door is drop dead gorgeous (see the picture on the website) and in recent years they have replaced the dowdy old cellar door with a very spiffy new one. Just another reason to visit the region. The colour was medium density red with enough brilliance to gain my interest. The nose seems tight and unyielding. In a short time the aromas indicate cherry and raspberry. The palate is similar, showing varietal typicity and a hint of secondary flavours from the spice rack. Hard to describe the mix but overall a pleasant flavour set with a nice finish. It is tight suggesting that it will reward a little time in the cellar.
