Specifically Trasubie, a Sangiovese (85%) Syrah (15%) blend from the Montecucco zone of Tuscany. The wine is from Schiaccionaia, a certified biodynamic farm.
In today's post, "Think Spring, Think Sangiovese," Deb Harkness of Good Wine under $20 says this about the Trasubie 2006:
I loved the aromas of leather, sour cherries, and earth that were my introduction to the wine. These were followed up by flavors that were leathery, with nice spicy clove and cherry as well. The wine had a smooth finish, and will please traditionalists who are looking for a wine that is nicely balanced between fruit, acidity, and more complex notes. Even though it cost slightly more than $22, I felt this represented excellent QPR given the quality and the complexity it offered.
