EXPERIENCE
A mildly tart nose. Good balance of fruit, tart, and acid on the tongue. The finish is just the slightest bit dry with a little bit of the pepper you'd expect from sangiovese. Overall a really pleasant drink, very balanced and clean.
VERDICT
GOOD AND CHEAP - Another wine from La Selva with quality well beyond it's price. This bottle sells for $10.99 (under an alias) here in the US. This is a "super-tuscan" quality wine at an everyday price. All of the wines we've had from La Selva offer really clean and clear flavors with plenty of depth. You'll kick yourself if you only buy one bottle.
FACTS
La Selva's Rosso Maremma Toscana is classified IGT and is a blend made from sangiovese (60% I believe), malvasia nera, merlot, and cabernet sauvignon. Grown and bottled near Magliano in Toscana, all of the grapes are organic and minimal sulfites are used. You can find this wine in the US at Pasanella and Son labeled as "Pasanella & Figlio Rosso" - both in their store and online. Hopefully Pasanella, or perhaps La Selva themselves, will have more of their offerings available here soon!
