What a nice surprise! Here is a rich Chianti with a dark, impenetrable appearance and elegant aromas of spice, bursting red cherry and blueberry preserves. The wine is chewy and soft with loads of pulpy fruit on the close. Pair it with steak or mixed grilled meats.  — M.L.  (11/1/2009)

Da Vinci 2003 Riserva Sangiovese (Chianti)

  1. $24
A distinct herbal or spice note is the first thing you’ll notice in this Sangiovese-based Riserva. Medicinal herbs, Indian spice, cinnamon, cumin and dried sage or oregano are very abundant and set it apart from the rest. In the mouth, this is a firm wine with a solid tannic grip suggesting a successful pairing with grilled meats marinated in rosemary oil.  — M.L.  (11/1/2007)

Da Vinci 2000 Riserva Sangiovese (Chianti)

  1. $20
Dark to the eye, with round plum and berry aromas jazzed up by a mix of chocolate and herbs. A forward palate presses ripe cherry/berry fruit, while the finish is collected and pure. Well made and on the money. Of note, this is a Gallo project.  — M.S.  (10/1/2004)

Da Vinci 2001 Sangiovese (Chianti Classico)

  1. $17
Attains a level of intensity not matched by the other Da Vinci wines, with bold aromas of tobacco, earth and cedar matched on the palate by flavors of cherry, plum and dried spices. This 100% Sangiovese possesses a long finish and supple tannins; it should drink well for 4–7 years.  — W.E.  (12/31/2004)
