Il Poggio Riserva Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2006
The average 9.1 rating on this wine is way too low. It’s definitely a 20-year wine. Now, the 06 is terrific. Dense, rich dark berry fruit, herbal notes, wonderful balance with beautiful fine tannins, a super long finish, great grip and remarkable freshness. Worth waiting for.
I love how the best Chianti’s age, I always underestimate them!!
@Steven Heydemann I totally agree.
La Spinetta
Il Nero di Casanova Toscana Sangiovese 2020
The winery’s entry level Sangiovese bottling. Aged 15 months in second-use French oak for 2020 vintage, it delivers a darker-fruited profile while preserving Sangiovese’s classic character. A versatile, crowd-pleasing choice and pairs especially well Northern Italian pasta dishes. — 2 months ago

2014 is a notoriously difficult vintage in Tuscany, but this showcases the finesses achievable in a challenging season.
The nose shows fresh cherry, red currant, pinecone, violet, and touch of leather and baking spices. Medium-to-full body on the leaner side, the plate is marked by vibrant acidity and refined silky tannins. Hint of sweetness on the long finish.
