The 2008 Chianti Classico Grosso Sanese (Sangiovese) is very impressive for the vintage. Silky tannins frame a core of expressive dark red cherries in this refined, polished Chianti Classico. The 2008 is a bit restrained compared to more typical years. Instead it is the wine's elegance and polish that comes through most. Sweet perfumed notes wrap around the nuanced finish. This is a lovely showing. The Grosso Sanese was aged in French oak barrels, 30% new. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2018.

The 2007 Chianti Classico Grosso Sanese is big and brawny in its dark fruit, tobacco, earthiness, tar, leather and licorice, with more overt oakiness than is typically the case. The 2007 shows terrific volume and depth, but like all of the estate's wines it needs to be given some air. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2022 This is an uncharacteristically mixed set of wines from Il Palazzino. The 2007 La Casina Girasole and 2007 Chianti Classico Argenina both revealed technical imperfections that precluded their being included in this report. The estate's higher-end wines fared better.
