Il Sole: Rosso delle Venezie 2010

This Italian red is also an organic selection, bought from Bio-Markt Maran in Vienna.

The bouquet is spicy, with notes of cherry and cinnamon. And from the name, it is discernible that the wine is from Venice. More, such as the grape variety, is less discernible. By that, I mean it doesn't say what it is on the bottle. However, the taste is reminiscent of a Chianti or a Temperanillo...a nice red grape grown in a southern clime. Near the sea?

On sale for €3.59, I bought two bottles. Although I can't taste an appreciable difference between organic and "regular" red wine, like I can with tomatoes, for example, the price difference is completely nonexistant, at least in this instance. Definitely a keeper.
