Flaccianello della Pieve Colli Toscana Centrale Sangiovese

20 years in the making…. Blackberries, spicy cedar, fig, cigar, truffles and old leather. Dark ruby, medium to heavy bodied, strong tannins, high acidity that pairs well with a smoky, fatty steak. Love it! — 11 days ago

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2016

These are recalled impressions, not contemporaneous notes, from two nights ago, when the family council of elders met for a steak/wine pairing event at my brother Angelo’s house.

I love this style of Brunello. Great balance of deep cherry fruit and terra cotta earthiness. Tannins resolving. Went especially well with the steak that was grilled with garlic and rosemary.

Colli della Toscana Centrale Sangiovese 2016

This fine Chianti didn’t make the conzorsoi’s cut for Chianti Classico Riserva in ‘16. WTF
Deep dusty cherries , roses, bramble on the nose.
Pure Sangiovese fruit on the palate, that dusty element returns with great acidity and healthy tannins. Wonderful. Thanks

This is a serious wine - understated, tannic, alot going on. Agree w other reviewers that this vintage may be a bit young to crack open - didn't feel fully integrated yet. — 25 days ago

Tesoro Della Regina

Il Grande Toscana Sangiovese Blend 2022

Bacci Wines — Tesoro della Regina “Il Grande” Toscana IGT 2022 — Toscana, Tuscany. Italy 🇮🇹

Overview:
A classic Toscana IGT red leaning into a more traditional Tuscan expression, built around Sangiovese with supporting international varieties. The style favors bright red fruit, savory lift, and food-friendly structure over plushness, delivering an honest, rustic-meets-polished profile that feels very at home on a trattoria table.

Aromas & Flavors:
Red cherry, cranberry, dried herbs, light tobacco, subtle leather, and earthy spice with a gentle tomato-leaf freshness.

Mouthfeel:
Medium-bodied with lively acidity and firmer, grippier tannins than modern Bolgheri blends. The palate shows linear structure and savory edges, finishing clean and slightly dry, clearly built for food rather than sipping “solo”.

Food Pairings:
Pappardelle al ragù, lasagna, pizza, grilled sausages, bistecca, roasted vegetables, aged pecorino, tomato-based dishes.

Personal Pick:
This drinks exactly how I expect a traditional Tuscan table wine to behave, bright, savory, and structured. Not plush or “international,” but authentic and meal-driven. The kind of bottle that shines with food and disappears halfway through the second course.

Verdict:
A straightforward, Sangiovese-led Toscana delivering freshness, acidity, and classic regional character. More “rustic-charming” than luxurious, and all the better for it.

🍷 Did You Know?:
Many Toscana IGT wines use Sangiovese as the backbone but blend in small amounts of Bordeaux varieties for balance, creating styles that sit between classic Chianti structure and modern Super Tuscan polish.
