Cherries with some orange and hints of chocolate. Medium body. Creamy texture. From organically grown grapes. Drink now but will improve with age.

Valiano offers good quality at an attractive price and delivers aromas of wild berry, vanilla, toasted almond and moist earthy tones. These qualities show true characteristics of Sangiovese and Tuscany. ——M.L.(4/1/2011)—— 88

This spicy mainstream Chianti pours on the cherry fruit and plenty of tangy accents. Made from 100% Sangiovese, it eschews the blending of French grapes made legal in the 1990s. Medium-to-full-bodied, it has fine fruit to acid balance and a dry, even finish. It will pair well with grilled foods or tomato sauces.——M.M.(11/15/2001)—— 88
