Cecchi, a family winery founded in 1893, makes this approachable wine for M&S. A classic blend based on Sangiovese, the supple, savoury palate has forward cherry-berry fruit, dried herbs and vanilla coffee notes from 12 months' oak ageing. Brisk acidity keeps things fresh and firm tannins provide good structure. You can't go wrong at this price.
