Online Exclusive
Price
$70
I Sodi di San Niccolò is a gorgeous and opulent blend of 85% Sangioveto and 15% Malvasia Nera with amazing intensity and beautifully crafted aromas of black fruit, rum cake, leather, spice and moist tobacco. It’s very smooth and silky, with long-lasting berry flavors on the close.

Poggio ai Merli is one of the top expressions of Merlot in Italy. This vintage shows warm, spicy flavors of ripe fruit, cherry liqueur and chocolate with loads of chewy, softness on the close. The wine’s texture is thick, succuleny and extremely long-lasting. Give it five more years.

Castellare di Castellina 2006 Coniale Cabernet (Toscana)
Price
$55
Coniale is one of those beautifully balanced Italian Cabs that is plush and dense, but elegant and fine at the same time. The wine boast ripened blackberry and cassis and there is not a green note in sight. Indeed, soft spice and firm tannins promise a bright aging future.

Castellare di Castellina 2005 Poggio ai Merli Merlot (Toscana)
Price
$65
Smelling this wine is like entering a spice box: Saffron, cumin, cardamom and cinnamon all put in minute appearances. But the real protagonist is the wood, which still needs a few years to integrate, and the plump chocolate-covered cherries you get in the mouth. It’s a thickly extracted wine with tight tannins: Drink after 2010.

Castellare di Castellina 2003 I Sodi di San Niccoló Sangiovese (Toscana)
Price
$60
Sangiovese is enhanced with 15% Malvasia Nera in this modern, rich wine. It offers sweet cherry renderings backed by blueberry, milk chocolate and molasses. Ripe and chewy in the mouth, the wine’s juicy succulence calls out for lamb, beef or game meat.

Castellare di Castellina 2007 Poggio ai Merli Merlot (Toscana)
Online Exclusive
Price
$75
Here’s a lively Tuscan Merlot with soft layers of spice and cola lavished over a solid core of black fruit. The aromas are pristine and focused and the wine makes an equally excellent impression in the mouth thanks to its soft, yielding tannins and sweet cherry flavors.
