Tasting- Colle Pino

My friend Grace (who is also in this class) brought this nice bottle over to a lasagna dinner at my house.  Red wine and lasagna is now my favorite thing ever.

Name:  Colle Pino
Type:  Merlot (50%) & Sangiovese (50%)
Region:  Tuscany
Country:  Italy
Year:  2010
Price:  $8.95
Bottlenotes review:  Ruby-red in color, young but intense. Fresh, fruit forward bouquet with intense red currant, raspberry and plum notes. Full fruit flavors with soft, sweet tannins.
My notes:  It smells of raspberry and blackberry, with hints of oak.  It begins tannic with a little bit of sweet currant flavor, but has an acidic finish.  
Food:  After eating lasagna, the wine now tastes much fruitier and goes down much smoother
