I often enjoy Aldi’s Tuscan import witH a Bowl of Past or slice Pizza,…as I find it “easy drinking” and as I prefer dryer style wines (without the excessive sugar found in many Australian wines).The wine is made from the Sangiovese grape which is the dominant variety in Tuscan.It is medium bodied and has an earthy savoury character not to mention reminiscent of maraschino or sour macerated cherry flavours,..both in the bouquet and on the palate.The tannins are dry and pervasive and enhance the savoury and slightly rustic style of this wine ,…so if your after lashings of fruit and sugar (and a big headache!) forget it.It has the DOCG tag which is an Italian guarantee of quality.
Perhaps a trifling shortcoming,…is that the Corks are the rather thin old style “crumbly type” ,…so be careful when extracting the cork to get it out in one piece to avoid the crumbs and dust of a dry cork. Considering the the very competitve price of this wine and the fact that it is of similar quality to wines costing at least 50% more (such as the Ruffino brand) then you realize “its a bit of a steal ,..as are many of the Aldi wines.”
