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.
