Dievole 2000 Novecento Riserva Sangiovese (Chianti Classico)

  • Editors' Choice
  1. $37
Exotic, luxurious and lush; super ripe and intense, but cuddly and lush, with a splendid texture. Aromas of smoked meats, cinnamon and coffee are more savory than sweet. Tastes generous, with black fruit floating on ripe tannins. Finishes very long.  — W.E.  (4/1/2005)

Dievole 2004 Riserva Novecento Sangiovese (Chianti Classico)

  1. $50
There’s a very attractive fullness and roundness to this wine that wins over your senses the moment you lift the glass to your nose. The wine delivers aromas of black cherry, Asian spice, root beer, vanilla and sweet maple syrup that are distinct and pristine. It’s modern and velvety in the mouth with tight structure and great length.  — M.L.  (9/1/2008)

Dievole 2007 Novecento Riserva Sangiovese (Chianti Classico)

  • Online Exclusive
Dievole was a beacon of quality and innovation in Chianti Classico but disappeared from the scene in the past few years. It’s back now with its celebrated Novecento Riserva. The wine shows an elegant, more traditional style compared to past vintages, with a lighter mouthfeel, more acidity and bright aromas of white cherry and cassis.  — M.L.  (2/1/2012)

Dievole 2001 Dieulele Riserva Red (Chianti Classico)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $55
A blockbuster red from a beautiful Chianti Classico estate that drinks like a slab of succulent charred steak. Billboard-sized aromas of cherry and espresso bean still manage to be overwhelmed by notes of burnt wood. If you can get past the woodshop tones, the mouthful is divinely velvety and supple with soft tannins and firm structure. Drink now.  — M.L.  (2/1/2007)

Dievole 1999 Broccato Sangiovese (Toscana)

  1. $29
A little bit flat on the bouquet, with prune, graham cracker and tobacco aromas. Flavors of plum and black cherry are fine, but there’s more acid and tannin than flesh. Solid but not spectacular; there’s a bit too much displaced tannin to rate at the next level up.  — M.S.  (9/1/2006)
