Conte Ferdinando Guicciardini 2001 Massi di Mandorlaia Riserva Sangiovese (Morellino di Scansano)
- $40
Incredibly rich and ripe, a total departure from traditional dry Morellino. Cola, chocolate, caramel and blackberry aromas emanate from the bouquet, while the palate is loaded with black fruit and coffee. Finishes sweet, with fudge and mocha notes. A layered, meaty wine.

This is a first rate wine with a deep, luminous ruby color and fine aromas of cherry, licorice, granite slate and pencil lead. The 85-15 Sangiovese-Syrah blend exhibits fabulous intensity, good complexity and loads of firm structure and persistent in the mouth: This is as good as Morellino gets.

Tenuta Belguardo 2001 Poggio Bronzone Sangiovese (Morellino di Scansano)
- $29
Fine-tuned aromas of mint, licorice, herbs and berries hit, while oak comes on with airing. Racy and exuberant, with forceful acidity pushing stylish dark fruit and tannin. It’s hardcore Sangiovese, so it needs a couple of years to soften; to drink now consider pulling out the decanter.

This 100% Sangiovese Morellino delivers great intensity, ripe red fruit, raspberry, licorice and dried herbs. It is a real charmer thanks to vibrant fruity flavors and a solid, firm built. Aged 13 months in barrique, it would pair well with roasted meats or lamb stew.

Suberli 2003 Riserva Sangiovese (Morellino di Scansano)
- Online Exclusive
- $30
A lively Morellino Riserva with very ripe cherry fruit, blueberry and delicate nuances of toasted nut, spice, cherry cough drop, mint and asphalt. It’s a wine that grabs your attention and is a bit high strung but ultimately goes down smoothly thanks to 24 months in tonneaux.
