Another great La Spinetta wine from Giorgio Rivetti's Tuscan estate. All Sangiovese. Delicious round fruit. Opens lively and getting better. Had with family at Al Dente in Edison NJ

Medium bodied, dry Sangiovese. Nice pepper and cherry notes. Enjoyed 2 bottles at Mare in Boston's North End

Really hearty, bold, dry, but smooth Chianti. Everything I like about the Sangiovese varietal.
