This impressive blend of Sangiovese and Merlot offers rich softness and a smooth texture backed by ripe aromas of red fruit, cinnamon spice, chocolate and mocha. The tannins also show softness and the wine would pair with choice cuts of succulent meat. — M.L. (10/1/2011)

Canneto 2006 Filippone Red (Toscana)

Price $40

Filippone is a 50-50 blend of Sangiovese and Merlot that is layered tight with aromas of wild berries, blue flower, plush cherry, moist earth and a touch of playful spice. The structure is firm without being hard and the wine would pair with pasta or meat. — M.L. (12/15/2010)

Canneto 2004 Riserva Prugnolo Gentile (Vino Nobile di Montepulciano)

Price $28

Smoke, blackberry, graphite and pipe tobacco set the tone for what is a dense and thickly concentrated wine with a brooding and powerful personality. It has a smooth texture with good solid structure and an easy, fruity approach; and is chewy, soft and succulent in the mouth. — M.L. (6/1/2008)

Canneto 2005 Riserva Prugnolo Gentile (Vino Nobile di Montepulciano)

Online Exclusive

Price $25

Fresh berry nuances come on the heels of spice, chocolate and smoke. The wild berry presence is nicely defined and gives this Vino Nobile a fresh and youthful disposition. In the mouth, however, it shows the natural sophistication and complexity of this celebrated category of Tuscan wine. — M.L. (3/1/2010)

Canneto 2007 Prugnolo Gentile (Vino Nobile di Montepulciano)

Online Exclusive

Thanks to its thick, earthy characteristics and dark fruit aromas, this wine would make an excellent pairing partner to Tandoori chicken or spicy Thai beef. It shows smoothness and richness on the long finish. — M.L. (4/1/2011)

points

Canneto 2001 Riserva Sangiovese (Vino Nobile di Montepulciano)

Price $22

Burly, saucy and ultimately quite attractive on the nose, with leather and herbs in addition to more standard berry fruit and oak aromas. Not as chewy and soft as you might expect from a wine made by consultant du jour Carlo Ferrini; it’s tannic and tight now, but exciting nonetheless. Hold through 2006. Imported by Selected Estates of Europe Ltd. — M.S. (7/1/2005)

points

Canneto 2002 Sangiovese (Vino Nobile di Montepulciano)

Price $22

Raspberry and plum aromas are forward yet softened by a thick block of sweet oak. In the mouth, the wine shows serious ripeness, a bold cherry flavor, and raw but healthy tannins. With char and zest throughout, this is one of the better ’02s you’ll encounter. Imported by Selected Estates of Europe Ltd. — M.S. (7/1/2005)
