Machiavelli 2001 Ser Niccolò Cabernet Sauvignon (Toscana)

  1. $35
Here’s a lofty, noble Cab that boasts great power and intensity. The nose is redolent of black plum, spice, green leaf, molasses and a touch of cinnamon. Firm tannins and thick density back its penetrating effect.  — M.L.  (4/1/2008)

Machiavelli 2005 Vigna di Fontalle Riserva Sangiovese (Chianti Classico)

Here’s a cheerful, modern expression of Sangiovese with bold oak-driven notes surrounded by chocolate, espresso and plump blackberry. The nose is sweet smelling and loaded with Christmas spice and the wine offers bright cherry notes on the close.  — M.L.  (6/1/2009)

Machiavelli 2004 Il Principe Red (Toscana)

  1. $30
Machiavelli’s “The Prince” is an innovative super Tuscan blend with Sangiovese, Pinot Nero and Cabernet that is fruity and fresh but with excellent power and intensity. The nose is redolent of small berries and exotic spice and the dry finish is long and satisfying.  — M.L.  (4/1/2008)

Machiavelli 2004 Riserva Vigna di Fontalle Sangiovese (Chianti Classico)

This ruby-colored Riserva offers bright cherry aromas but is also weighed down by the thick oak notes of woodshop that sit over the fruit like a veil. More harmony is evident in the mouth and helps shape what is ultimately a very easy-drinking wine.  — M.L.  (9/1/2008)

Machiavelli 2006 Solatio del Tani Sangiovese (Chianti Classico)

Thin in appearance and intensity of aromas, this wine bets on simple fruit flavors and background aromas of licorice and white mushroom for a successful pairing with easy pasta or pizza. It has a spicy, zesty finish.  — M.L.  (9/1/2008)
