The 2008 Chianti Cetamura from Coltibuono delivers incredible quality for the money. Bright fruit, flowers and tons of Sangiovese character come through beautifully in this approachable mid-weight red. This is a huge overachiever for the money. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2012.

Cetamura is a consistently excellent value wine from Tuscany that shows bright berry and forest fruit nuances backed by a crisp but thin mouthfeel. Those qualities make it an ideal choice for cheesy pasta. ——M.L.(4/1/2011)—— 86
