Sangiovese

This winery  makes a variety of Chianti Classico wines with this being the basic offering.  That said, it is consistently an excellent wine and a great value.  Ruby in color, mostly clear and bright.  The nose is nice with cherries, cranberries, nutmeg, slight dried leaves and char.  Medium bodied.  Strong acidity.  Medium tannins.  On the palate, this has cherry flavors with some spice and forest floor.  Good finish.  This would be better with food.  A nice wine for pizza night or a plate of pasta.  Drink over the next five to eight years. 

Made from 100% Sangiovese Grosso grapes in Tuscany.  Deep ruby in color, mostly clear and bright.  The nose has cherries, sandalwood, slight black cherries, spice and roasted herbs.  Clean.  Medium bodied.  Medium tannins.  Great acidity.  On the palate, this is drinking well.  Some depth and complexity.  Flavors of cherries, slight black cherries with underlying forest floor notes.  Long finish.  This begs for food and would be great with your favorite pasta.  Drink over the next eight to fifteen years.  

This is a Super Tuscan blend of 60% Sangiovese, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Merlot from Tuscany.  Deep ruby in color, mostly opaque and bright.  The nose has cherries, cassis, slight vanilla, spice and slight mint.  Full bodied.  Medium tannins.  Great acidity.  On the palate, this seems mature but just coming into its own.  Flavors of cherries, cassis, black cherries with a touch of spice and a bit of mint.  Long finish.  This is nice on its own but better with food.  A nice choice for pizza night to be sure.  Drink over the next five to eight years.

Ruby in color with some browning, mostly clear and bright.  Great nose with cherries, sandalwood, and tea leaves.  Medium to full bodied.  Great balance and acidity.  Nice "slick" texture.  Medium tannins.  On the palate, flavors of black cherries with an interesting cola note and some earthiness.  Long finish.  This needs another five years in a good cellar to really take that next step, but patience will be rewarded.  The score should jump one to three points.  Great on its own but better with food.  Osso Bucco would be a great food pairing.  

Garnet in color, mostly clear and bright.  The nose is initially tight but with air opens to show cherries, black cherries, and slight cough drop.  very clean.  Plush texture, full bodied with firm tannins.  Greatt mough puckering acidity.  On the palate cherries and tart cherries with a hint of mint on the finish.  Long, clean finish.  This is young but drinking well.  The acidity/grape makes it better with food.  After all, it is Italian.  This would be great with Spaghetti and meatballs.  Drink over the next ten years.
