Traluna—92% Sangiovese and 8% Alicante—shows determined and lingering tones of cherry, wild berry and fresh plum. This youthful wine offers a fresh, perky quality of fruit with the natural crispness to match.

This Chianti Classico opens with slightly caramelized aromas of butterscotch and cola backed by mature fruit, prune and dried plum. The mouthfeel is thin and crisp with some grittiness in the texture.

Linear, tonic and packed tight with tertiary aromas of dried berry, licorice, cola, tar and drying mineral, this Chianti Classico Riserva seems older than it is. It’s very elegant now, but drink it sooner rather than later.

With a solid base of Sangiovese (enhanced by 5% Alicante), Traluna opens with a light ruby color and pretty aromas of wild berry, red rose and vanilla spice. Overall, it’s clean, compact and tonic.

Here’s a modern and plump blend of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon that opens with a blast of fresh blackberry, blueberry and sweet exotic spice. In the background are integrated notes of clove and ginger and the wine shows both acidity and good structure.

Made with red Sangiovese grapes that have seen botrytis, or noble rot, this Occhio di Pernice expression of Vin Santo opens with very distinctive aromas of prune, raisin, candied orange peel, maple syrup and honey. The sweet wine is sticky and thick in the mouth and a touch of citrus zest helps it move forward over the palate.

From a 300-acre property in Castellina in Chianti, Trasolo (100% Merlot) is a top-shelf wine with rich opulence and sophistication. Deep layers of cherry, blackberry, spice and leather are folded tight together and the wine is smooth and enduring on the close.
