If you have a ¬bottle of this in your cellar, drink it now. The wine still has some fruit flavors backed by roasted almond and spice but there are also barnyard or Band-Aid tones that seem to be taking over.

With eight years of age on it, this wine is at a beautiful point in its evolution with delicate elegance, refined perfumes and special accents on cinnamon, mineral tones and bright fruit. It’s sophisticated and persistent, with silky tannins and sweet spice on the close.

Sassoalloro offers good quality for a great price. This vintage is on the ripe side, with aromas of mature berry, maple syrup, resin and leather. Chewy, succulent tannins characterize this plush, fruit-forward Sangiovese.

Braccale is a drinkable, food-friendly wine. That’s because this wine’s naturally tempered elegance means it won’t overpower what you eat. It delivers aromas of sweet red fruit, toasted nuts and has a crisp, spice-driven finish.

Here’s a fun and extremely floral Sauvignon Blanc from Tuscany with a lean, compact feel in the mouth and lingering tones of citrus, stone fruit and grapefruit. It’s a crisp and tonic white wine that would serve well at outdoor parties or during cocktail hour.

Here’s a dark and sophisticated red wine (from the special Biondi-Santi clone of Sangiovese) with thick extraction and penetrating aromas of black fruit, spice, cola and Spanish cedar. There’s a ripe, slightly jammy or exotic quality to the fruit that would make this wine a good match to succulent cuts of beef.

Ripe fruit notes of black cherry and raspberry are followed by chocolate and delicate spice. This 80-20 blend of Sangiovese and Merlot from Maremma, Tuscany is sharp and well-focused in the mouth with lingering tones of ripe fruit and a crisp berry finale.

For lovers of sophisticated Italian wine, Schidione (a hearty blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese and Merlot) shows personality, elegance and impressive intensity. The mouthfeel is smooth and rich. An excellent addition to a cellar collection.

Sangiovese Grosso (specifically the BBS11 clone identified by Biondi-Santi) is enhanced with 5% Cabernet Sauvignon to produce a thickly structured wine with aromas of smoked beef, mature cherry and moist earth.

Montepaone is a classic expression of Cabernet that shows enormous focus on elegance and harmony despite the hot vintage. The wine feels streamlined and tight on the palate, but the intensity of its fruit and spice aromas comes forward slowly and consistency on the bouquet.
