This is one of my favorite "everyday" wines. If anyone ever wants to have a nice glass of wine for dinner every night, you will enjoy this, because it is basically drinkable with every type of food...Can never go wrong with the Sangiovese grape. Highly recommended from me and it is only $10 a bottle...I am going to pick up some more this weekend for myself.

The Wine Advocate The 2005 Sangiovese IGT offers an amazing display of strawberry and black cherry fruit intermixed with floral, new saddle leather, and earth notes. Aged in large wood foudres, it is a stunning example of Sangiovese that should drink well for 2-3 years. This wine represents incredible value for the money. Score: 90. —Robert Parker, June 2006.

speaking of Banfi....... I brought this one back from Montalcino:
http://library.bevnetwork.com/bottles/620/5807.jpg
Castello Banfi`s newest Super Tuscan, combines 25% of a Banfi clonal selection of the Sangiovese grape with 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 15% Syrah. Each wine is individually vinified and aged 14 months in French oak barrique to develop its unique style, then masterfully interwoven with the others to achieve an elegant bouquet and full, round flavor
it's not only $10.

the guy from the wine library is great.. he spits into a Jets bucket, and describes wine by saying stuff like... this one tastes like dirt. this smells exactly like soy sauce. this one smells like suntan lotion. lol
he gets nuts on some of the episodes after the jets lose.. guy is nuts, lol.
