Natalie's Score: 91/100

Gorgeously rich and full-bodied Italian red wine with aromas of mocha, coffee-espresso and black fruit on the nose. More luscious dark berries and plums on the palate of this full-bodied, smooth and delicious wine. This wine previously won a Gold Medal at the Sélections Mondiales des Vins in Montreal. Try with hamburgers and all the fixins.

Sangiovese Cabernet Sauvignon food pairings: cheese stuffed tortellini with rich tomato sauce, veal parmesan, chicken stew and roasted vegetables.

Reviews and Ratings

Monique Sosa - Accredited Sommelier rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

A fragrant and floral Sangiovese-Cabernet Sauvignon blend with bursting notes of ripe berries, violets, vanilla, and spice. This wine is off-dry with high young tannins, moderate acidity, and a long [cocacola-esque] finish. Tasted Nov 2016 - @sommsosa | bespoketastings.ca
The Umberto Cesari winery celebrates its 5-year anniversary in 2016 for being named Italian Winery of the Year at the International Wine & Spirits Competition in London. Liano (2013) is a blend of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon. - Community Wine Reviews
