Winemaker’s Remarks: Made from 100% Sangiovese grown in the Sciabolone and Martarosa vineyards and harvested in late October. The wine is aged in large oak barrels for 6 months. This Sangiovese exhibits a fresh bouquet of violets and woodland berries. It is smooth and refreshing on the palate with loads of ripe fruit and represents an excellent value.

Wine Makers Remarks: Campagna Gello, “Il Valore”, Sangiovese, “Marchese de Petri”, Puglia, Italy 2006 ($3.50) -Medium ruby in color with aromas of strawberry, violet and thyme. A bit lightweight on the palate with earthy strawberry flavors and good acidity for food, finishing with dusty tannins. A nice value in everyday red wine similar to their $6 Toscana. This wine is available at Trader Joe’s across the U.S.
