Coriole’s
Sangiovese is one of those wines where the grape variety and region are both
evident, and the synergy between the two is typically something that is lovely to
drink. In fact the 2012 is rather beautiful, and perhaps the best vintage of
this wine yet.
Lovely, ripe
fruit with berries tending towards sour
cherry as it travels along the palate. Texturally it feels like a Sangiovese
with prominent acidity that integrates well over a couple of days, and that
drying tannin that is so appealing. Mind you there’s a juiciness here as
well. Notes of aniseed, spices, and orange peel give it complexity. Yummy earthiness to finish. It needs another year or two
but I could drink lots of this. Great value too.
