Baroncini 1999 Sangiovese (Chianti Colli Senesi)
- Best Buy
- $9
Shows poise and balance in its nicely melded herb, licorice, cherry and bitter-chocolate elements. There’s good texture on the palate and some complexity on the finish, where a mineral note accents the dry cherry and tea flavors.

Baroncini 1997 Le Mandorlae Riserva Sangiovese (Morellino di Scansano)
- $23
Starts off with rustic, horsey aromas of sweaty tack, which fade somewhat with airing. Sour cherries vie with dark, earthy flavors in the mouth and the wine finishes with almost lemony acidity coupled with dark coffee flavors. A complex, individualistic effort that takes some contemplation to appreciate.

Baroncini 1999 Sangiovese (Chianti)
- Best Buy
- $8
Like a mouthful of sour cherries, this is classic lean and tart Chianti garnished with flourishes of tobacco and earth. The even-textured palate and medium tannins on the finish complete a package that delivers more than expected at the price.

Baroncini 1999 White (Vernaccia di San Gimignano)
- Best Buy
- $10
The fresh peaches and pears tinged with citrus develop a slight bitterness on the finish that’s something like the skin of an underripe peach. In this context, it’s a pleasant flavor that gives structure and crispness to this bouncy, refreshing quaff.

Baroncini 1998 Casina Del Giglio Sangiovese (Chianti Classico)
- $14
Slightly muted nose with tobacco elements. Shows tart cherry fruit, medium weight and decent balance. A good basic Chianti, but also features a funky earthiness that’s not for everyone. Finishes dry, with decent length.

Baroncini 1999 Sangiovese (Toscana)
- Best Buy
- $10
Aromas of strawberries and milk chocolate gradually turn a bit grassy with air until a green-hay note takes hold. Light and tart, the bouncy red berries and cream flavors persist through the finish. Nice pasta red.

Baroncini 2002 La Mandorlae Sangiovese (Morellino di Scansano)
- $17
A bit weak and horsey in the nose, with saline and saddle leather. Some time in the glass allows it to shed its awkward aromas, and later it reveals flavors of cherry and rhubarb, but also some misplaced butter. Full tannins and some acidic tartness create an aggressive mouthfeel.

Baroncini 2001 Chianti Sangiovese (San Gimignano)
- $10
Dried cherry and strawberry aromatics, but little else. Those simple fruits carry onto the light-bodied palate. Finishes simple, with bright acidity.
