Banfi 1998 Riserva Sangiovese (Chianti Classico)
- $17
Toasted wheat bread, bacon and clove add interest to the nose, which is robust and loaded with black fruit. The palate is complex enough to trigger some intrigue: Cinnamon, butter and licorice support the dark fruit nicely. The finish is smoothly textured, and there’s an airy quality to it. Quite meaty and solid, with a firm core. —M.S.

Banfi 2008 Centine Rosé (Toscana)
- Best Buy
- $11
You really can’t beat the brightness, overall freshness and low price of this very satisfying rosé. The wine is clear and luminous with well-defined aromas of berry fruit, cranberry and rose. It’s soft and creamy in the mouth and would pair well with quiche or puff pastry finger foods.

Here’s a rosato from Tuscany that is vibrant and clean and richly redolent of forest fruit, red berry, dried sage and minerals. In fact, the herbal quality is unique and impressive. It’s clean and fresh in the mouth with medium persistency.

Luminous and bright, this pretty white blend from Tuscany offers a particularly aromatic note of passionfruit, white peach and honey. The wine is easy and fresh but those pretty fruit flavors give it a competitive edge.

Fresh, clean and approachable, this wine offers simple linearity in terms of structure and concentration but holds its own in terms of aromas. Buried within are notes of ripe cherry, forest floor and white mushroom.

Banfi 1997 Riserva Sangiovese (Chianti Classico)
- $16
Tobacco and herb accents play off cherry fruit on the slightly muted nose of this medium-weight wine. Plum, chocolate and wood flavors mark the slightly lean palate. Finishes dry, with cocoa and tea notes.
