Vola Sangiovese (Italy, 2009)

Category: SangioveseEddie @ 5:23 pm
This is a limited time availability wine available from Trader Joes.  We’re not certain if it will return again this year or if it is gone for good.  Very hard to pass up at $1.99 a bottle and we were not disappointed when we opened up the first one at home.  This flavor profile and texture of this wine can be found in others for $8 – $10.  If you can still find this at your TJ’s pick it up!!!
$2 from Trader Joes
Four Trophies
  • Smells of strawberries, pepper and sawdust
  • Soft mouth feel and is very smooth after decanting
  • Tastes of cedar and nectarine with a medium finish
  • Changes and evolves as you drink it.  This is a wine that keeps you interested all the time… You know its crazy buy you enjoy your time with it… it’s fun because you don’t know what is coming next… but it all makes sense when you realize it is a very schizophrenic wine.

Category: SangioveseMike @ 9:14 am
Santa Christina This is a Sangiovse from the Tuscany region of Italy.
$10 Purchased at Trader Joe’s
Three Trophies
  • Fruity wine, ripe summer berry flavors.
  • This is a sweeter wine and would be a hit with fans of sweeter reds.
  • Light bouquet with floral hints and berry.
  • An initial intense burst of fruit flavor that mellows out towards the end.
  • Well, the 2004 Mouton Cadet from France introduced us to the French farmer’s daughter. Now meet her cousin the Italian farmer’s daughter.
