Toscolo 2004 Sangiovese (Chianti)

Best Buy

Price $11

Always a solid value contender, Toscolo really nailed it in 2004. This wine is clean and ripe, with familiar raspberry and strawberry aromas. It’s not heavy at all; in fact, it’s light, bright and clear, with pure cherry and raspberry flavors that are sure to please. A pizza wine to the max. — M.S. (10/1/2006)

Toscolo 2001 Sangiovese (Chianti Classico)

Price $20

The bouquet blends darker notes of mocha and chocolate with red-fruit aromas. The palate is fine and crisp, with no added weight whatsoever. Acidity is its calling card, so labeling it lean and precise would be accurate. For some, however, its freshness could be construed as gritty and closed. — W.E. (4/1/2005)

Toscolo 2001 Riserva Sangiovese (Chianti Classico)

Price $24

Smoky and savory on the nose, with saucy fruit sitting below a veil of firm oak. Runs a bit tart and racy in the mouth, where cherry and plum flavors are boosted by blazing natural acidity. Not a sour wine, but definitely crisp and racy. — M.S. (10/1/2006)
