Sorry for the delay in post. I was in Las Vegas. I went to one of the only three wineries (as of last count) in Nevada. I will write a post about that in a few days.
While there I found a Sangiovese (a grape that makes red wine) made in Umbria (Italy, I have been to that part of Italy once before) by La Carraia. La Carraia started making wine in 1998. There is more information about the winery at: http://www.lacarraia.it/en/ .
The wine smelled rustic to me. I like using rustic to describe wine because it evokes a feeling. I usually use the word rustic when it smells like: dirt (freshly planted flowers in dirt), a farm, charcoal, and charred wood. There are more aromas and flavors that can be described as 'rustic'. I can not taste or smell them but other people can. If you can smell or taste other flavors and aromas that could be described as rustic, I would love to know how you describe them.

I would drink this wine again. It would be great for before dinner.
Enjoy!!
