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! — 8 years ago

As perfect a Brunella as you could ask for. Perfectly in balance after 23 years, great fruit, acid, and structure . I give it a gazillion points ( on the Sangioveto scale ). — 12 years ago

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! — 9 years ago

9.1

Poured into a decanter right before service. The 2020 pours a deep garnet color with a translucent core; medium viscosity, with light staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of Montmorency cherry, red flowers, black tea, fresh sage, some dried green herbs and dry, dusty earth. On the palate, the wine is bone dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. This is a classic, rustic Chianti Classico without the DOCG designation. Better after 2030 and will drink well through 2045. — 5 months ago

The 2018 Chianti Classico is an absolutely joyous wine. Bright red cherry fruit, tangy acids and sweet floral notes all run a translucent, super-expressive Chianti Classico that quite frankly knocks it out of the park. The 2018 is so delineated, so vibrant and just so incredibly delicious. The purity of the flavors is just remarkable. The oak needs a bit of time to fully integrate, but it already has over the last few months. This is what Sangiovese (called Sangioveto here) and Chianti Classico are all about. Best of all, the 2018 is a screaming value. Don't miss it. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, September 2020) — 6 years ago

100% Sangio. 100% incredibile! For a 28th anniversary dinner with my wonderful wife. Sight unseen (so to speak) I was impressed beyond words. Went to Coltibuono this summer but didn’t taste this; however they swore up and down that the Sangioveto had the goods. And it did in spades! So rich and savory. The depth of cherry fruit and silky tannin is off the charts. I only wish I had another bottle to age for 3-5 years and taste some heaven then. Molto buono!!! — 9 years ago

Bys I don't understand what wood you're noticing, i don't sense new wood at all! Superb complexity and exuberance in both nose and palate, $17 bottle? This can easily compete around $30. Great spiciness, robust black cherries, herbs and intense tuscan florality. Quite long in finish, with classy sinewy tannins. A slight note of chocolate on nose, but seems more from ripe merlot to me than excessive oak. Hides 15% very well, finishes vibrant and spicy. 45 merlot, 40 cab sauv 15 sangioveto. 2010 vintage. — 11 years ago
