Casa Emma 2005 Riserva Sangiovese (Chianti Classico)
Here’s a fantastic wine with dense, well-extracted concentration (it’s thick, but not impenetrable) and intense balsam aromas of cola and freshly herbs. It offers coffee-like favors but also herbal notes, licorice and plush red fruit.

Casa Emma 2006 Sangiovese (Chianti Classico)
The wine makes a wonderful first impression thanks to its vibrant intensity and penetrating aromas of cherry, cola, almond and spice. Shaped by consulting enologist Carlo Ferrini, it would do an excellent job of cleaning the palate after a steaming dish of spaghetti, grated Parmigiano cheese and tomato sauce.
