WTN: 2006 Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona Toscano Rosso, I.G.T.

A red wine from Italy--not sure of percentage of grape varieties in the blend but Sangiovese probably is the largest percentage variety.
Available for under $15 a bottle, some places less than $11. Bottled in Montalcino, Italy from one of my favorite Italian producers. Imported by Indigenous Selections, Fort Lauderdale, FL.
Royal purple or burgundy purple color. Quite viscous. I thought rather light-bodied but one retail website lists it as full-bodied. Tasty and uncomplicated. Red berries, faint herbal notes, some tannin and grip. Just easily savored and swallowed. Enjoyable with food or on its own. I would rate in the high 80's. I had it two nights in a row with beef tacos.

I had this back in Sept (and haven't gotten my note posted - shame one me!), and loved it! Fabulous value in my mind.

Ryan, on another website I posted it under "Best Buys and Steal Deals." I have another bottle on hand as I originally purchased two bottles.
