Familia Cecchin Carignan 2007, a Tuscan Sangivese from Mendoza.


Familia Cecchin Carignan 2007, USD 12.


A red wine from Russell disctrict of Maipu Departament, Central Mendoza.
A seductive red most closer to a real Tuscan Sangiovese but stuck in Mendoza. Ripe and sour red cherries with  beautiful quince long cooked to dark red (dark red block `dulce de membrillo´). Nice all through palate mostly middle and end part. A typical Italian Sangiovese at gentle price. An 85 points red and a good value. Probably best around 4 years old (plus & minus 1 year).
