Wine Critic Review - From the Tuscany wine region, Famiglia Castellani 2016 is a juicy 100% Sangiovese produced from grapes sourced from the Alta Maremma. Bright and juicy with ripe cherry, mocha, savory spice, and herb flavors on the palate with a lingering tart cherry, red berry finish. Tannins are velvety and this Sangiovese would be very nice to have now with a veal parmesan. - Community Wine Reviews
Wine Folly Notes
Sangiovese has strong notes of cherry, tomato, and balsamic (162). I did not decant as the textbook suggests, nor did I chill to 55 degrees (162). I could taste the high acidity that the textbook mentions.
My Review
I really enjoyed this wine. I split it with friends and it was very tasty with strong fruity notes. the presence of cherry and strawberry was very present. I assume that the high levels of acidity contributed to this. I would give this wine an 8/10. I did not eat with this meal.
