Tasting - Pirovano Sangiovese Romagna

Name: Pirovano Sangiovese Romagna
Variety: Sangiovese
Region: Abruzzo
Country: Italy
Year: 2012
Price: $7.95
Shop Review: "Aromas of bright berry fruit and violets merge with zesty spice and intense juicy flavors of ripe raspberry, plum and black cherry in this medium-bodied, food-friendly wine. Pairs perfectly with a variety of foods such as spicy pastas, red meats and poultry, as well as aged cheeses."
My Review: The wine's color was dark burgundy, almost brown. It seemed to have a similar body to a Merlot, medium-looking. It scent had that buttery smell that I've been experiencing with a lot of red wines lately. It gave hints of buttered popcorn and caramel. I really enjoyed this wine's taste. It was light and easy to drink, filled with grape flavors and a slight bit of sweetness, and a dry but tolerable finish. Was not paired with any food.
