Just finished the polishing faze and prepping to bottle. Took a taste and am impressed with the quality of the wine flavor and bouquet. Will set in bottles for a couple of months before starting to consume.

I've made this wine before and it is Great!!! My complaint is that the directions had to be downloaded, and when printed out, the normal two pages of directions were on one page. I had to use my reading glasses and a magnifying glass to read them. Would it really kill RJS to include full size directions with the kit?

We have made this Sangiovese many times. It always turns out extremely good. Smooth, Intense, but not intrusive flavours. Complex texture. Better than anything available commercially, even at outrageous prices. We do 1st stage fermentaion for a week to ten days , then rack to secondary for a month or more, then clarify with K&C for another week or two, then bottle. Reliably, the best Italian Chianti-style. We also love Nebbiolo and Tempranillo from RJS.

The wine is still in the clearing stage but is very clear already after about 3 weeks or so. My son in law tasted it this past week-end and said he liked it. But I am not going to filter it for a few more weeks before bottling. I gave it 4 stars because it needs to age more before I start drinking it.

The first Sangiovese I made was fantastic, more flavor and tannins than most other companies Sangiovese kits. Will keep it in my rotation. Ordering another!
