Fresh berry nuances come on the heels of spice, chocolate and smoke. The wild berry presence is nicely defined and gives this Vino Nobile a fresh and youthful disposition. In the mouth, however, it shows the natural sophistication and complexity of this celebrated category of Tuscan wine.

Smoke, blackberry, graphite and pipe tobacco set the tone for what is a dense and thickly concentrated wine with a brooding and powerful personality. It has a smooth texture with good solid structure and an easy, fruity approach; and is chewy, soft and succulent in the mouth.

Burly, saucy and ultimately quite attractive on the nose, with leather and herbs in addition to more standard berry fruit and oak aromas. Not as chewy and soft as you might expect from a wine made by consultant du jour Carlo Ferrini; it’s tannic and tight now, but exciting nonetheless. Hold through 2006. Imported by Selected Estates of Europe Ltd.

Raspberry and plum aromas are forward yet softened by a thick block of sweet oak. In the mouth, the wine shows serious ripeness, a bold cherry flavor, and raw but healthy tannins. With char and zest throughout, this is one of the better ’02s you’ll encounter. Imported by Selected Estates of Europe Ltd.

If you are new to Vino Nobile (a Sangiovese-based wine from central Italy), Canneto offers this very approachable Riserva expression that is characterized by fresh fruit, black cherry, cola, wet earth, tar and a touch of black licorice.

Red raspberry and ripe strawberry emerge from the nose of this well-priced Rosso di Montepulciano (with 20% Merlot). The wine is mature and slightly jammy but not in an overdone way. In fact, it will appeal to those who appreciate a slightly sweeter style.

Thanks to its thick, earthy characteristics and dark fruit aromas, this wine would make an excellent pairing partner to Tandoori chicken or spicy Thai beef. It shows smoothness and richness on the long finish.

Filippone is a 50-50 blend of Sangiovese and Merlot that is layered tight with aromas of wild berries, blue flower, plush cherry, moist earth and a touch of playful spice. The structure is firm without being hard and the wine would pair with pasta or meat.

Prugnolo Gentile (another name for Sangiovese) is blended with small percentages of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon to produce a firmly intense wine with black fruit aromas and spicy cardamom. There’s a gritty quality to the tannins and overall texture.
