Fattoria la Castellina 2008 Aureo Red (Rosso di Toscana)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $55
This blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot features a dark ruby color and balanced aromas of black fruit, leather, spice and rum cake. It’s fresh and fruity in the mouth, with just the right measure of concentration to pair with lasagna.  — M.L.  (2/1/2012)

Fattoria la Castellina 2008 Tommaso Bojola Sangiovese (Chianti Classico)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $20
A tiny amount of Merlot is added to this Chianti Classico to lend a soft, plush feel to the mouthfeel. But the Sangiovese element does come through to deliver bright aromas of cherry, wet earth, pressed roses and dried spice. There’s a touch of bitter almond on the finish.  — M.L.  (2/1/2012)

Fattoria la Castellina 2009 Tommaso Bojola Sangiovese (Chianti Classico)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $17
A burnt touch of roasted walnut appears at first, but it is quickly replaced with tones of cherry and dried raspberry. This Sangiovese (blended with 10% Merlot) shows bitter fruit on the finish, which helps it pair with meat or cheese dishes.  — M.L.  (4/1/2013)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $20
This is an easy, fruit-driven Chianti Classico that shows cherry, white almond and pressed violets. There’s a darker side in the mouth that translates into raw notes of cola and smoked bresaola.  — M.L.  (2/1/2012)

  • Online Exclusive

This easy but fresh Chianti Classico makes a great choice for simple pasta dishes. It’s a lean, compact but fresh wine that would cut straight through cheese toppings.  — M.L.  (2/1/2012)
