2004 Marchesi de Frescobaldi Remole
Super Tuscan ‘Sangiovese & Cabernet Blend’
$10
Score: 92
What a great surprise! I am always looking for an good to excellent wine that I can find, and is affordable. I usually have to settle for wines in the $25-$30 dollar range to get this, but this wine was perfect and for only $10!
Light ruby color, slightly off Sangiovese nose, not super bold like most Super Tuscans, with a smooth finish. Ready to drink now, but could also probably age for a couple of years without issue, perhaps getting even better. I have never gone wrong with a Frescobaldi wine, and this is no exception, perhaps our new house pour.
I had to score higher than usual due to the excellent value this wine represents, so go buy a few, enjoy with food as all Italian wine is meant to be enjoyed. Good with pork, lamb, and even chicken due to the smooth finish and subtle flavors.
