The 2008 Chianti is a very serious wine for the money. The floral aromatics render an impression of accessibility but the darkness and richness of the fruit that follow hint at a far more important pedigree. Dark red berries, flowers and minerals add the final notes of complexity on the impressive finish. This is one of the most rewarding wines readers will find under $10. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2014. (8/ 2010)
This has the light cherry scent of sangiovese, along with the tomato leaf and green peppercorn spice that set the variety apart. It's a simple, spicy red for fennel sausage and broccoli rabe.
