Tasting great after 75 mins of aeration. Model Sangiovese flavors. Served with antipasti: pesto shrimp, grape leaves, hummus, aged 12-month manchego, and burrata. — 16 days ago

One of my favorite montepulcianos. Smooth, raspberry, graphite and moderate acidity. Paired beautifully with a picanha steak tonight. — 4 months ago

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. — 6 months ago

This is for the 2021 vintage, perhaps some of the negative reviews are for other years. I found this Chianti to be quite delicious with pleasant dried Cherry aromas and taste. Is it the best Chianti ever? No. But it is pleasant and I will buy it again at this reasonable price! — 3 years ago

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 — 5 years ago

The oak has integrated from my previous note in February 2017 where the influence of oak Barriques was overly present. Sangiovese is not enhanced by too much oak in my opinion and is best matured in large Botti like I said in my previous note like Biondi Santi. Red cherry and earth notes finishing with powdery tannins. Coming together. — 5 months ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of dinner. The 2021 pours a deep garnet color with an opaque core; medium+ viscosity with light staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is vinous with notes of black cherry, espresso, black tea, dried herbs and gentle warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. Drink now with patience but, to my palate, I think this will be better with a few more years in the cellar so the oak can better integrate. This is built to last well past 2041. — 6 months ago

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.
