If we’ve tasted a Chilean Sangiovese before, then this doubles our control group. It’s very New World in style, with rich, smoky black fruit aromas leading to a fresh but full-bodied palate. We wouldn’t compare this to Chianti in any way except for the grape. It’s much fruitier, bigger, rounder and ultimately more generic. But it’s still alluring if you’re desperate for something new.——M.S.(11/15/2008)—— 87
