Falchini 1997 Campora Cabernet Sauvignon (Toscana)
It’s great fun to revisit the stellar 1997 vintage and see that this Tuscan Cabernet has evolved so gracefully over the years. Aromas include white mineral, ash, licorice, dried flowers and measured tones of red cherry fruit. It makes for a delicate ensemble that is lean and a bit thorny in the mouth but still very satisfying.

Falchini 1999 Campora Cabernet Sauvignon (Toscana)
- $65
Lovely aged nuances emerge from the nose of this elegant Cabernet and recall tomato leaf, chopped herbs, tar, resin, licorice, forest floor and earthy-mineral notes. The wine maintains a chewy, firm structure with dusty tannins and pretty menthol notes on the finish.

Falchini 2004 Paretaio Sangiovese (Toscana)
This Sangiovese seems older than it is because of the hard candy, mineral and brambly notes that offset its aromas of dark chocolate and sweet spice. A tiny hint of apple cider gives the wine piquancy and bite but otherwise it remains a deep, full wine with no overtly sharp edges.

Falchini 2000 Campora Cabernet Sauvignon (Toscana)
The millennial vintage of Campora (Cabernet Sauvignon) is understated in an elegant way and doles out measured aromas of dried fruit, prune, strawberry tart and spice. It’s a lighter style, making it suited for white meat or pasta dishes.

Falchini 2001 Campora Cabernet Sauvignon (Toscana)
- $75
Definitely on the ripe side, this aged Cabernet offers aromas of green pepper, chocolate, vanilla bean and black cherry. It delivers a pretty, modern approach and a nice, gritty texture in the mouth.

Falchini 2002 Vigna a Solatio Vernaccia (Vernaccia di San Gimignano)
- $14
Extremely lively, to the point of being spritzy. The nose is full of citrus and a hint of anise, while the palate, while not particularly complex, is zesty and deals active melon and mineral flavors. A likable wine, one from a single vineyard.

Falchini 2003 Paretaio Sangiovese (Toscana)
Aromas of mature fruit, blackberry, leather, cigar, molasses and stewy herbal greens. The wine is lean and slightly sour in the mouth yet its ripe fruit aromas leave a lasting impression in the mouth. It’s a wine with more bark than bite.
