Lidl is selling Duca di Sasseta Ser Passo Toscano 2015 for $5.99. There is minimal information on the bottle or online about the blend of grapes in this wine but Sangiovese is obviously the primary grape.
I tasted a semi-dry, full bodied Tuscan style wine with flavors of blackberry, dark cherry, plum and cocoa. There are medium tannins and a long finish. The wine has 14% alcohol. There is a lot of flavor here which would pair nicely with red pasta.
This wine exceeds expectations for a $5.99 bottle and if you are in the Lidl marketing area of the Carolinas or Virginia you should try it. I hope that Lidl continues to deliver this quality for such a low price.
SC Wine Joe rating = 88 points

We bought a bottle at the Lidl in North Augusta and loved it. Went back for more, and it's gone. 😔
