Tenuta le Venette, from Umbria, came to town lined-up their wines in an ante-room at Grano restaurant in Toronto. Of the close to a dozen wines here's a look at some of my favourites ...
 |
| Calanco 2009 - ($35.00) 60% Sangiovese / 40% Cabernet Sauvignon Nose: blackberry, black cherry, and touch of red berry Taste: elegant and seductive with its fruit-tannin mix; it's quite aggressive Score: **** |
 |
| Accordo 2009 - ($20.00) 100% Sangiovese Nose: fruit driven aromas that are all dark: cassis and black cherry with touch of smoke Taste: black cherry, blackberry, smoky, cocoa, and decent tannins Score: **** |
 |
| Rosso di Spicca 2012 - ($16.00) 85% Sangiovese / 15% Canaiolo Nose: plenty of red fruit aromas Taste: rustic and bitter yet shows spices, blackberry and cassis; it's definitely a pizza, pasta kinda wine Score: *** 1/2+ |
