Robert Parker/Wine Advocate – This producer's first Gigondas is a terrific debut. The 2017 Gigondas Reserve Mont Redon—a blend of 85% Grenache, 9% Syrah and 6% Mourvèdre—comes from the lieux-dits of Pied Gu, Pallière and Notre Dame des Pallières and was aged in a mix of lightly used Burgundian pièces and tank. Perfumes include scents of violets, lavender, cherries and vanilla, while the full-bodied palate is lush and creamy, ending long, with hints of cracked pepper and salted licorice. Drink 2019-2028.

Wine Enthusiast – Ripe and sour cherry and vanilla bean come out on the nose and again on the palate. A decisively salty, mineral streak comes through, with concentrated tannins and substantial acidity.

World Wine – "Lustrous ruby with orange tinges. Brooding nose with sweet earthy notes. This is from a single, high-elevation vineyard in Lamole, but seems more plush than Fontodi's 2019 offering. Deep, concentrated pure cherry palate of amazing length and with lots of juice and persistent gravelly, clinging tannins on the finish." Walter Spencer (jancisrobinson.com)

James Suckling – Darker fruit on the nose with walnut, spice box, incense and espresso bean, too. Medium-bodied, firm and structured with polished tannins and a creamy, compact mid-palate. Quality dark oak spice throughout. Long and rich. Better from 2024.

Robert Parker/Wine Advocate – An icon wine of Tuscany, the Fèlsina 2019 Chianti Classico Riserva Rancia (with 48,000 bottles made) is distinguished by its special aromatic fingerprint that truly brings us to a sense of place. At its heart, the wine reveals dark fruit and plum. More interesting, however, are the dusty mineral sensations that give so much texture and depth to the Rancia. These aromas can only be found in Sangiovese from the galestro and alberese-rich soils of Chianti Classico. This vintage follows up with sweet tobacco, toasted chestnut and scorched earth. Give this wine more time to flesh out and evolve in the bottle.

Robert Parker/Wine Advocate – The 2018 Perlato del Bosco is a pure expression of Sangiovese that can be considered its own little island of winemaking within the Tua Rita portfolio. Sangiovese is always a gamble when cultivated within close proximity of the coastline. But in the deft hands of the Tua Rita team, the grape offers a new side that is worlds apart from the aromas and flavors we associate with other celebrated expressions made in Montalcino and Chianti Classico, both located further inland. This wine reminds me of the Poggio Valente by Fattoria Le Pupille (also 100% Sangiovese from Maremma). That's a wine that always punches above its weight, as is this. In fact, both Perlato del Bosco and Poggio Valente are guided by consulting winemaker Luca D'Attoma. This wine is aged in large oak casks (20 hectoliters) to allow for slow and careful integration. Past vintages went into barrique, but one of the big changes recently was to move this wine to bigger, more traditional oak vessels that are better suited to this this sometimes-difficult grape that can easily go flat with too much oxygen. These results speak of Tuscany, and you get wild berries and cherries with some of the brambly, Mediterranean notes that give the wine a lasting sense of place. Some 35,000 bottles were produced, and this wine hits the market in October 2020.

Originating in the verdant regions of Tuscany, Sangiovese holds the honor of being the most widely planted grape variety in Italy. It's the backbone of many renowned Italian red wines, including the famous Chianti. With a history that dates back centuries, Sangiovese grapes are revered for their ability to produce wines that beautifully balance fruitiness with earthy undertones. Depending on the region and specific winemaking techniques, this versatile grape can yield wines ranging from crisp and light-bodied to rich and full-bodied. Often described as having flavors of ripe cherries, wild herbs, and spices, Sangiovese wines are also known for their high acidity and moderate to high tannin content, making them excellent partners for a wide array of dishes, particularly Italian cuisines. The grape's resilience and adaptability have also led to its cultivation in other parts of the world, introducing new terroir-driven expressions of this cherished variety.
Sangiovese wine hails from the heart of Italy, taking its name from the Latin phrase "Sanguis Jovis," meaning "blood of Jupiter." This deeply red wine captures the essence of the Italian countryside, intertwining history, tradition, and culture in every sip. With its earthy undertones and prominent cherry flavors, Sangiovese wine is as vibrant and lively as the regions it comes from. Its characteristic high acidity and robust tannin structure make it both complex and age-worthy. Sangiovese is not just a wine; it's a journey that transports its drinkers to the rolling hills of Tuscany, revealing the rich tapestry of Italian winemaking heritage.
When one thinks of Sangiovese, Tuscany invariably comes to mind. This Italian region, particularly the areas of Chianti and Montalcino, produces some of the world's finest expressions of Sangiovese wines. Brunello di Montalcino and Chianti Classico are exemplary representatives of this grape, showcasing its versatility and depth. Additionally, the Romagna region has gained acclaim for its unique take on Sangiovese. While Tuscany might be its ancestral home, Sangiovese vines have also found a place in New World wine regions, with parts of California and Australia crafting noteworthy versions that pay homage to their Italian counterparts.
In the vast world of Sangiovese, certain names stand out for their exceptional quality and representation of the grape. Brunello di Montalcino and Chianti Classico Riserva are among the most sought-after expressions, revered for their aging potential and complex flavor profiles. Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, crafted in the hills around the town of Montepulciano, is another star, often rivaling its Chianti counterparts in depth and structure. These wines, alongside Super Tuscans that blend Sangiovese with other grape varieties, represent the pinnacle of Sangiovese's excellence.
For those seeking the essence of Sangiovese without a hefty price tag, there are numerous value-driven options available. Wines from Chianti (excluding the Classico region) often deliver fantastic quality at a more accessible price point. Rosso di Montalcino, considered the younger sibling of Brunello, offers the same characteristic flavors but is more approachable in its youth. Additionally, many New World regions, including parts of California and Australia, produce Sangiovese wines that capture the grape's essence while remaining budget-friendly.
Sangiovese wines, with their bold flavors and high acidity, are a culinary dream. They naturally complement traditional Italian dishes like pasta with tomato-based sauces, pizza, and Tuscan stews. Their acidity cuts through the richness of fatty meats, making them a perfect match for dishes like osso buco or grilled lamb. Cheeses, especially those like Parmigiano-Reggiano or Pecorino, enhance the wine's fruity undertones, creating a harmonious symphony of flavors. Whether it's a simple spaghetti dinner or an elaborate feast, Sangiovese wines elevate the meal, bringing the warmth and passion of Italy to the table.
