2006 Le Calle Catocci Poggio d'Oro Sangiovese Riserva (Montecucco)

A delightful surprise. Montecucco region is new to me... just south of Montalcino.  Nicely balanced at 14% abv.  Seems to be entering its peak drinking window.  Lovely dark cherry with dusty tannins accented by well integrated Slovenian oak. Great QPR at around $30. Paired well with chicken parmigiana and mushrooms oreganata.
