Rich and explosive, Il Palazzino’s 2010 Chianti Classico Argenina bursts from the glass with ripe dark cherry, plum, smoke and Mediterranean herbs. Chiantis from the Monti sub-zone of Gaiole always play off depth and structure, as is the case here. (AG) — 8 years ago

Probably my favorite Valpolicella producer after Quintarelli (and maybe Monti dei Ragni.) Elegant and mouth-filling. — 5 years ago

This is probably my favorite wine ever. It was recommended to me at a little Italian restaurant in Prague. I bought 3 bottles to take home. I would have bought a case if I hadn't been on foot. — 7 years ago

Beautiful black cherry, mint, licorice and leather aromas mostly reflected on palate. Dark fruit but still quite lively. Only quibble is it is a bit short, but at 19 years that is remarkable. — 8 years ago

A rush of ripe red berry fruits waft from the glass, as licorice, sweet spice, and rosy florals join the mix. Silky textures envelope the senses, finishing with saline minerals and youthful tannin. Wow this Emilia-Romagna Sangiovese is an unreal value. $17.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous, May 2020) — 5 years ago

Intense, high tannins, hints of berries and licorice - had it with the perfect tagliatelle mari e monti prepared by my wife Amel - tagliatelle, Piedmontese porcini mushrooms, squid, octopus and shrimps in tomato reduction. Full body, 13 degrees, full and intense. — 8 years ago
