Rocca di Montemassi 2011 Astraio Viognier (Maremma)
- Editors' Choice
- $15
Hats off to the Zonin family for being among the first to offer a Viognier from southern Tuscany. This shows the thick viscosity that is characteristic of the variety, with floral notes of violets and lemon blossoms. There’s a dusty touch of mineral or brimstone on the finish.

Rocca di Montemassi 2005 Le Focaie Sangiovese (Maremma)
- Best Buy
- $13
Why reach for a lean, tart Chianti when you could have this varietally correct but friendlier Sangiovese?
