James Suckling
I like the dried blackberries and flowers on the nose. It's full-bodied with delicate tannins and a mouthful of fruit. Bright citrusy acidity. 80% Sangiovese, 20% Alicante Nero. Drink or hold.

Embedded with fine tannins, this features a gossamer structure for its cherry, raspberry, tea and spice flavors. Firm, yet balanced and long, with an aftertaste of fruit and spice. Best from 2015 through 2024.
Legendary in Italy for its Renaissance art and striking landscape, Tuscany is also home to many of the country’s best red wines. Sangiovese reigns supreme here, as either the single varietal, or a dominant player, in almost all of Tuscany’s best.
A remarkable Chianti, named for its region of origin, will have a bright acidity, supple tannins and plenty of cherry fruit character. From the hills and valleys surrounding the medieval village of Montalcino, come the distinguished and age-worthy wines based on Brunello (Sangiovese). Earning global acclaim since the 1970s, the Tuscan Blends are composed solely of international grape varieties or a mix of international and Sangiovese. The wine called Vine Nobile di Montepulciano, composed of Prognolo Gentile (Sangiovese) and is recognized both for finesse and power.
