A blend of 80% Sangiovese, 10% Merlot and 10% Syrah, this was our favorite of the Montemassi wines. Spice and meat accents plum and chocolate flavors, while the mouthfeel is full and velvety smooth. Drink now–2015.

Rocca di Montemassi 2005 Le Focaie Sangiovese (Maremma)
- Best Buy
- $13
Why reach for a lean, tart Chianti when you could have this varietally correct but friendlier Sangiovese? Aged half in stainless steel and half in large Slavonian oak casks, this wine’s black cherry and plum fruit flavors are carried by soft tannins, but still show hints of tobacco leaf on the finish.

Calasole has a very nice, silky feel in the mouth followed by ripe aromas of peach, honeydew and pear. Thanks to Vermentino’s natural structure, this is a very food-friendly wine that could pair with pasta or white meat.
