Tasting: Monte Degli Angeli Sangiovese

Wine: Monte Degli Angeli
Variety: Sangiovese
Region: Puglia, Italy
Year: 2013
Price: $7.95

Critic Review: The aromas are rich and dark, with lots of black cherry and a hint of balsamic. In the mouth the wine is round and energetic, with cherry and black raspberry fruit complemented by hints of damp earth. If you like Sangiovese-based wines like Chianti or our best-selling Colsanto from Umbria, you'll love this! The wine is ripe, fresh, and fruit-driven with a wonderful dash of earthy complexity at the end. Buy it by the case and drink with pizza, grilled poultry, and pasta.

My Review: I did not like this wine very much. I knew from the get go that I wouldn't like it very much. The smell of this wine was full of cherries, which I am not overly fond of. There was a hint of mocha smell to it as well. The taste of this wine was bitter and fruity at the same time, and it left a bad after taste in my mouth. 

Overall, I did not enjoy this wine, but someone who enjoys cherries may enjoy it more!
