A blend of Sangiovese and Cabernet Franc, this is about as cynical as pink wines get. It’s not even that cheap..

Light coppery pink colour, the nose candied and suggesting of candied residual sweetness and red fruits. over a palate that is roughly acidic and clashing with the sweetness to finish.

A clumsy, raw, concoction of a wine that feels rather lacking in love. No.

Drink: 2013-2014
Score: 14.5/20, 80/100
Would I buy it? No.

Almost 25 years ago I started working in a small bottleshop, largely to buy cheap beer. There, I met my first two loves - wine and craft beer, and they took over my life. Two decades later and I spend my days as a journalist, buyer, wine show judge, marketer and drinks industry consultant.
