Calabria isn't known for Sangiovese but the Podere Marini expression might be the first step in changing that, with its nose of cherries, bergamot tea, gravel, wild fennel and other wild herbs.

It is easy to love now, but the freshness of the fruit and firmness of the tannins make giving it a few years sound like an idea well worth the investment.
