Why reach for a lean, tart Chianti when you could have this varietally correct but friendlier Sangiovese? Aged half in stainless steel and half in large Slavonian oak casks, this wine’s black cherry and plum fruit flavors are carried by soft tannins, but still show hints of tobacco leaf on the finish.

Le Focaie is a great value wine with easy but one-dimensional fruit characteristics of cherry, blackberry and cinnamon spice. The wine’s natural thickness and consistency recalls the sunniest vineyards of southern Tuscany.

Rocca di Montemassi is owned by the Zonin family who recently invested in new vineyards and a high-tech winery on the property. This sun-rich Vermentino is a very good example of a Maremma white wine with warm tones of honey and peach.

Calasole has a very nice, silky feel in the mouth followed by ripe aromas of peach, honeydew and pear. Thanks to Vermentino’s natural structure, this is a very food-friendly wine that could pair with pasta or white meat.

“A gentle wine for gentle foods,” according to Francesco Zonin, this is a plump, easygoing white with hints of peach, brine and almond, finishing clean and fresh. Try it with simple white fish dishes.

A blend of 80% Sangiovese, 10% Merlot and 10% Syrah, this was our favorite of the Montemassi wines. Spice and meat accents plum and chocolate flavors, while the mouthfeel is full and velvety smooth. Drink now–2015.
