NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Villa Toscano Sangiovese is a delightful red wine that showcases the classic characteristics of the Sangiovese grape variety.It displays aromas of ripe cherries, strawberries, and hints of dried herbs. On the palate, you'll find flavors of red berries, plums, and a touch of spice. The wine's acidity provides a refreshing and lively mouthfeel, while the tannins are smooth and integrated.
This Sangiovese pairs wonderfully with a variety of dishes, including tomato-based pasta sauces, grilled meats, and aged cheeses. Its versatility and food-friendly nature make it a great choice for both casual gatherings and more formal occasions.
