2005 Castelli - Podere 414
Morellino di Scansano DOC  (mo-rehl-lee-no dee skahn-sahno)
13.5 % ABV
Approx $22


Morellino di Scansano  - 85-100% Sangiovese,  remainder local varieties

When I first tried this wine at the shop I worked at I really enjoyed it, that was the 2004.  The 2005 has left me a bit disappointed although the third day that I had it opened it tasted better and I really enjoyed it.

The nose and the flavours were both muted and the wine didn't seem very interesting.  Tannins were not over the top considering the amount of sediment..it's a 2005 is it supposed to have that much???. 

I probably would not buy the 2005 again but I still have a 2004...who knows maybe my palate has changed and I will think the 2004 is no good any more...Hmmm maybe I could write professionally now.

2004 - Vitae - Sangiovese

Not a typical Sangiovese, first it is not from Chianti it is an IGT from Puglia and second it is not as acidic as a Chianti.  The two probably have something to do with each other.  Not as complex as a Chinati but it is easy to drink.  It went well with the pizza I had.
For a price around $12 at Superstore I would buy again and again and again.
