Vignamaggio Monna Lisa Chianti Classico. Had to try this because I am a big fan of Leonardo da Vinci. That usually doesn’t end well as a reason to choose wine, but this time it lived up to the name! It’s earthy on the nose with a juicy red fruit palate. Perfect for tomato sauce on pizza, or pasta. Deliciously smooth and full bodied. This wine is well worthy of the classic art on its label. — 4 years ago

This was a Costco find as I cruised through the wine area. I had never tried this producer and I figured it might be fun to try something new. Served with Italian Sausage, tomatoes, peppers and onion. The wine poured a deep ruby color with a near opaque core. On the nose, bright red cherries, dried herbs and some dry earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium+ acid. There’s red rope licorice, dusty earth, dried herbs and just the faintest kiss of baking spice. It’s unmistakably Sangiovese and pretty high quality. The color was a little on the darker side and detected a little bit of barrique so I figured this was a little modern leaning. Sure enough, there’s a little bit of Cabernet and Merlot in the blend and each have seen some barrique. However, the bulk of the blend is Sangio aged in large Slavonian oak and the sense of place shines through. Drink now or over the next ten years. — a year ago

Awesome super Tuscan. Really wish I had more but it was absolutely fantastic, funky and fruity with some killer Argentinian steak at Tango Sur. — 3 years ago

My last bottle from this winery. It was the first winery I ever visited. This was the right time to drink this bottle. Still fresh with nice fruit. — 6 years ago

I can’t rave more about a 7 year old Tuscan merlot. Soft, gentle with generous fruit while showing acidic balance, light tannins and an unmistakable peppery, cigar box aroma. — 9 months ago
