"The 1990 Il Sodaccio (100% Sangioveto) adds a chocolatey note to its rich, intense, black-cherry-scented, medium to full-bodied flavors . . . . The 1990s from proprietor Sergio Manetti are the finest I have tasted from this high profile Tuscan producer. All three wines exhibit considerable ripeness, as well as wonderfully layered, textured palates with gobs of ripe black-cherry fruit intertwined with spicy new oak."

Italy grows more indigenous grape varieties than any other country and produces wine in all 20 of its regions. From Piedmont's Nebbiolo to Tuscany's Sangiovese, its finest wines pair structure and bright acidity with a strong sense of place.
The heartland of Sangiovese, producing Chianti Classico, Brunello di Montalcino and the Cabernet-influenced 'Super Tuscans' of the coast. Its wines balance bright acidity, savory structure and cellar-worthiness.
