This 2006 Sangioveto Malvasia blend is terrific! Wild cherry, earthy undertones with a hint of blackberry. It is in its sweet spot right now but has at least 8 to 10 years remaining. Enjoy! — 2 years ago
Same purity and finesse as the Chianti Classico with more earth, spice, and leathery tobacco tones. Love that they can convey such weight out of the Sangioveto without covering the wine with new oak makeup. Superb. — 4 years ago

Ruby, a blend of 90% Sangioveto, 5% Canaiolo and 5% Ciliegiolo grown in the Il Poggiale vineyard, and spent 18 months in French (1 year old). Red fruit aromas and floral spice. On the palate cherry and raspberry with notes of sweet earthy spice. Fine tannins on a medium+ finish, good balance with acidity yielding to a fresh ending with a zing of spice. Nice! — 2 years ago
Now this, the story told to us is that it is the brunello clone grown on Monsanto land and used to make wine only personally for the owner! Except for the few bottles our resto had, of course. Fresh and alive with figs and cherries and violets and underbrush, it certainly seemed like a brunello frame with a Chianti soul. — 4 years ago

I loved this. Carried by its purity and freshness first, fruit second. Nothing superfluous. Good value — a month ago
