Product details

The pride Tuscany, the Sangiovese grape is famous for its dry, bright cherry character and tea-leaf notes, reaching to an expression of Tuscan sun and dusty rich earth. Sturdy and robust, with a tangy backbone of acidity and a slight spiciness from well-strung tannins, aging uncovers its complex depth of flavor and will reveal notes of blackberries, prunes, and vanilla.

A complete food wine, pair this with pasta with sausage, tomato and mushrooms, polenta and black bean casserole, or truffled red wine risotto.

Everything as Expected

Done with primary fermentation, and sitting in a carboy for secondary. No stalls, and it smells really nice. I decided to take off about 1/2 a gallon of the must, to diluted a bit and add honey to make a pyment. (I then added some French oak to the pyment.) Both of which seem to be coming along nicely and I'm excited to see how they turn out after aging. Everything appears to be going well.
For the information of the next person who purchases this product:
The yeast supplied in the kit is EC-1118. Seems to be doing a good job and I understand why this is what is supplied, however next time I think I will purchase a separate pack of Lalvin BM 4X4 to use so that I can get more of a Chianti style flavor profile out of the wine.

For those of you who like a real red wine- not dry not sweet not light not dark, this is the wine for you. Good legs, great flavor. Needs a little aging as it tastes very young upon bottling. Will reorder.
