Tenuta San Vito 2005 Madiere Red (Toscana)

This happy blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet and Merlot delivers delicate blueberry nuances and warm toast. It’s a wine that flows over the palate, leaving it clean and refreshed.

Tenuta San Vito 2004 Colle dei Mandorli Merlot (Toscana)
- $35
Here is an organic Merlot with well-integrated spice, fresh fruit nuances and natural rubber (a tiny touch of Band-Aid is present as well). Soft tannins and a velvety mouthfeel give the wine a sophisticated edge, and its dusty tannins give it the structure to stand up to grilled meat.

Tenuta San Vito 2004 Madiere Red (Toscana)
- $20
From organic grapes, this builds on the senses thanks to its multiple layers of fruit and oak-driven nuances of vanilla and toast. It offers great dimension and personality and would make a perfect companion to meat or hearty home-cooked pasta. It has a nice, smooth consistency and some bitterness on the close.

Tenuta San Vito 2000 Malmantico White (Vin Santo del Chianti)
- Online Exclusive
Many Vin Santos taste heavily of resin and pine, but this lively rendition puts more emphasis on dried apricot, honey, orange peel and even a touch of exotic fruit. In fact, it tastes younger than it actually is. Thick and intense in the mouth, it closes with a balanced touch of acidity.

Tenuta San Vito 2007 Colle dei Mandorli Merlot (Toscana)
- Online Exclusive
- $35

Tenuta San Vito 2005 Sangiovese (Chianti)
This is a disjointed wine with a few elements out of place, especially on the nose: Aromas include cherry, cooked vegetable, mushroom and a drop of iodine. It’s a lean wine with medium consistency and persistency.

Tenuta San Vito 2005 Darno Sangiovese (Chianti Colli Fiorentini)
- Online Exclusive
Starts off a bit funky with sulfur-like smells and never seems to recuperate. Its ruby appearance is attractive, but the wine proves too lean and thin to give it much staying power.
