Prugnolo, the local name for Sangiovese, is made without oak and bursts with fresh floral fruit (iris, violets, plums and blueberries), the palate juicy and refreshing. Its a lighter yet delicious take on Sangiovese from the winery Montepulciano.
Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, 'king of all wines' according to poet Francesco Redi in the 17th century, bears a family resemblance to both Chianti Classico and Brunello, as it is made from clone of Sangiovese that, in this region, is known as Prugnolo Gentile.
"An understated Vino Nobile with discreet minerals, spiced plums, cumin and tarry savoriness that needs some time to pull together and open up further. Quite nicely chewy and tight, with a full-bodied palate and a clean, … more
70% Sangiovese with equal parts Ciliegiolo and Montepulciano. Intense nose of cherry (Ciliegiolo) and blackberry fruit (Montepulciano) lifted by a pronounced spiciness (Sangiovese). Medium bodied, but round and smooth and a delight to drink.

"Extremely elegant and focused, this compelling wine defies the heat of the vintage, starting with a heady fragrance of ripe dark-skinned berries, violet, camphor, dark spice and whiffs of crushed herbs. On the linear, elegantly structured palate, tightly woven but extremely polished tannins accompany juicy Marasca cherry, blood orange, licorice and white pepper while fresh acidity keeps it balanced and fresh. Drink 2025-2032. (97)" Kerin O'Keefe, The Wine Advocate

Having been used for viticulture for over 3000 years, this Estate certainly has got the art of Chianti mastered. This wine, their entry level, is a stunning example of Sangiovese. Light, fresh and crisp, with sour cherries, leather and spices. The Sangio tannins take hold and embrace your tongue making this a great wine to match with food.
This is Fèlsina’s original SuperTuscan, first made in 1983 from 100% Sangiovese. At the time, the wine was labelled as Vino da Tavola since there was no approved higher denomination for a monovarietal wine. The border that defines Chianti Classico and Colli Senesi runs through the Fèlsina's estate and Fontalloro is sourced from both of these areas. As such, it is labelled IGT.
Renowned for its powerful structure, depth and complexity, Fontalloro has more in common with the wines from … more

Note: Vigna del Sorbo became a Gran Selezione wine starting with the 2010 vintage, although the first vintage ever made was 1985.
"The 2016 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigna del Sorbo is another benchmark wine from Tuscany that shows the incredible potential of this iconic vintage. This beautiful single-vineyard Sangiovese reveals a graceful side with dark fruit intensity, cherry, plum, fresh violets and tilled earth. Tar, tobacco and licorice appear as delicate background tones, giving more volume and texture to … more

"The Fuligni 2017 Brunello di Montalcino is a beautiful wine, and it shines a much-deserved spotlight on one of the most consistent estates in Montalcino. It is bright and luminous with a dark ruby shine. The bouquet reveals deeply layered tones of red cherry, wild berry, rose, earth and candied violets. Give the wine an extra twirl or two, and you get some rosemary and lavender. Soft dusty mineral and limestone also appear. I'd definitely put this bottle on a … more

Sitting at the highest part of the estate at around 450m, this single site has the oldest vines on the property and takes its name from the little church just above the vineyard. This Brunello 'Grand Cru' as Alessandro refers to it, takes a different path than his other 2 wines. Once picking is complete, all the fruit is placed into large wooden fermentation vats that see no agitation or stirring before fermentation - the fruit is simply left to … more

"You just can't beat the purity of the bouquet here: cherries, red licorice, blue flowers and currants. It's all stunning. Il Marroneto's 2015 Brunello di Montalcino opens to a light garnet color with faint ruby highlights. The wine never veers from its lanes, sticking to an absolutely traditional and fresh expression from the appellation. It offers a lean to medium-weight mouthfeel with radiant fruit flavors-think pure cherry fruit. Fruit is harvested from a five-hectare parcel at 300 meters above sea … more

"The 2017 Brunello di Montalcino wafts up with vibrancy and spunk, showing woodland berries and herbs with crushed wet stone and undergrowth in an incredibly fresh and lively expression. It's soft and pliant upon entry, enveloping with its saturating raspberry fruits and inner spice, as mineral tension builds, giving way to sweet, elegant tannins and inner florals. The 2017 shows a more slender yet well-muscled interpretation of the 2017 vintage, but it remains remarkably pretty and balanced throughout. Due to … more
