A blend of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon that is aged in both tank and barrel, the dense, concentrated, black cherry and berry-flavored 1997 Villa Castiglioni possesses fine density, no hard edges, adequate acidity, and the opulence that is so much a characteristic of the finest wines from this marvelous Italian vintage. Drink it over the next 2-3 years.
