Borgo Scopeto 1998 Misciano - Riserva Sangiovese (Chianti Classico)
- $35
The label reads Chianti, but this is more about deep, driving black fruit than typically racy Sangiovese. It kicks off with the purest scent of smashed berries, and then offers up a supercharged black-cherry-laden palate with far more hedonistic weight than starching acids. The wine finishes with power and warmth.

Borgo Scopeto 1998 Borgonero Sangiovese (Toscana)
- $35
This nuovo mondo Super Tuscan represents the first vintage of Borgo Scopeto under the management of Tenuta Caparzo, and it has a tremendous jammy, extracted quality to it, from the smooth, deep plum and blackberry nose to the soft, rich palate that exudes tons of black cherry fruit along with coffee and licorice. It’s a mix of 60% Sangiovese, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon…

Borgo Scopeto 1998 Riserva Sangiovese (Chianti Classico)
- $28
Fantastic modern Chianti! Young but already exuding powerful berry fruit along with loads of cigar box and other attractive spices. The present tense of this wine is all about layered, climbing complexity. Its future is all but ensured, with its tight core, solid wall of tannins and a deep, black cherry finish that lasts a good two minutes.

Borgo Scopeto 2004 Borgonero Red (Toscana)
- $44
Borgonero demonstrates a very clean and polished quality of winemaking that is reflected in its aromas of ripe cherry, tobacco and spice. It sits beautifully in the mouth and glides clean over the palate with lingering notes of black fruit and cola. Very nice.

Borgo Scopeto 2005 Vigna Misciano Riserva Sangiovese (Chianti Classico)
- $34
This modern vineyard-designate Riserva offers toasted notes of spice, nut and crème caramel. There are fruit notes in there too that are surrounded by mineral and earthy shadings. The mouthfeel is gritty, firm and persistent.

Borgo Scopeto 1999 Misciano Riserva Sangiovese (Chianti Classico)
- $35
A lush, medium-weight wine that shows some barrique influence in its aromas of vanilla, tobacco, smoke and bacon. Soft and chewy on the finish, this is approachable now, but should be more food-friendly in a year or two.

Borgo Scopeto 1999 Borgonero Sangiovese (Toscana)
- $35
A blend of 60% Sangiovese, with the balance split evenly between Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, this is a smoky, meaty wine that’s balanced by bright, red raspberry fruit. Tobacco notes take over on the long finish. Supple enough to drink now.

Borgo Scopeto 2001 Borgonero Sangiovese (Toscana)
- $35
Leather, earth and dried red fruits comprise a classic nose, while the meaty palate is both heavy and loaded with plum and raspberry. Quite chewy, with firm tannins, extract and chocolaty accents. Mainstream qualities give it mass appeal.
