Bonizio, Sangiovese di Maremma 2005 This easy drinking Tuscan red must surely be the bargain of the month! Bursting with sweet cherry and spice flavours, nicely balanced with a soft fruity finish, Bonizio punches well above its modest price point and is well worth the effort to find. Very highly recommended for everyday quaffing.
Delicious Sangiovese and an excellent value. It is supple, full, quite ripe and fruity in character, and long on the finish, tasting of baked cherry, red currant, plum, and pepper. * * * * + (Excellent – Highly recommended)
This is a lighter-style red wine that shows the spicy/peppery personality of the Sangiovese grape. There's a strong herbal (suggesting fennel seed) element here mingling with tart red fruit and earthy notes. This unassuming wine was built with the dinner table in mind. It would pair nicely with a variety of grilled meats from the barbecue. Don't be afraid to chill this down slightly before serving during the summer months.
" Really nice cherry-plum fruit, a little spicy; great with anything off the grill." * * * * ½ (Fine – Outstanding)
"A classic Sangiovese from Tuscany with superb fruit, great balance, and a light, not inconsequential finish. An excellent every-day Chianti look-alike, and a wine with the intensity of Maremma, its home." “Bargain of the Week”
