It&#8217;s fresh, lively, slightly herby and quite mineral. Very tasty.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Mayu Sangiovese 2008<\/strong> is one of the most convincing interpretations of this tricky grape variety that I&#8217;ve encountered outside Italy. It shows fresh, focused cherry fruit with a hint of plummy bitterness. It&#8217;s generously fruity with freshness and just a hint of nice reduction.<\/p>\n<p>Both wines are worth their \u00a37.98 asking price, but on special at \u00a35 they represent that rare beast of a discounted supermarket wine that actually is a bargain.
