La Madonnina 2005 Riserva Sangiovese (Chianti Classico)
This Riserva boasts a pretty ruby color and intense aromas of cherry, red fruit, almond and balsam notes of cola and Bengay. It has a perfumed, feminine nose that is generous without being overwhelming. It’s well built and compact in the mouth—with no loose edges—and goes down easily thanks to its silky tannins and smooth consistency.

La Madonnina 2006 Riserva Sangiovese (Chianti Classico)
- Online Exclusive
Vanilla and toasted almond appear first on the nose and are followed by Indian spice, wild berries, pressed violets and cola. The oak notes are very evident at this stage but will surely soften with time.

La Madonnina 2006 Bello Stento Sangiovese (Chianti Classico)
There’s a distinctive herbal accent that gives this wine background notes of forest floor, bramble, tight berries and mint. They pair well with the delicate cherry-driven tones of Tuscany’s native Sangiovese and make for a complex, layered wine. It has a raw, nervous quality that will relax with a few more years in the bottle.
