Castello di Verrazzano 2000 Sassello Sangiovese (Toscana)
- $60
Depth and richness are hinted at by berry aromas with a touch of liqueur. The palate runs snappy and snazzy, with racy but tasty cherry and raspberry fruit. This is a solid, medium-oak Sangiovese that shows modern touches as well as traditional purity.

Castello di Verrazzano 2005 Riserva Sangiovese (Chianti Classico)
- $43
There’s a hint of initial ripeness or stewiness on the nose in the form of blackberry preserves and strawberry but it’s not enough to be a problem. In fact, the wine comes in line with just a few swirls of the glass to reveal more delicate and ethereal notes of spice and vanilla.

Castello di Verrazzano 2006 Sangiovese (Chianti Classico)
- $25
This is a plush, meaty wine with a dark, almost purplish hue and remarkable persistence and presence on the palate. Black cherry, ripe blueberries, vanilla, roasted nut and spice appear nicely on the nose without overwhelming the natural fruit. It has a chewy, juicy feel with silky tannins and good length on the finish.
