Salustri 2003 Santa Marta Sangiovese (Montecucco)
- $28
The appellation isn’t well known but based on the current line of Salustri reds we can say that Sangiovese from Montecucco in Tuscany has its merits. This wine is ripe with black cherry aromas and flavors. It’s pure, sweet, balanced and tasty. Best from 2007 through 2011.

Salustri 2002 Grotte Rosse Sangiovese (Montecucco)
- $40
A very good wine from a not-so-good vintage. The bouquet hits firmly with black cherry, almond paste, leather and even a touch of refined horseradish. It’s as precise and tight as the palate, which offers tannic but rewarding cherry and plum. A lively, racy, real wine that’s playing at the highest level. Holding it to high standards, we find it just short of excellent.

Salustri 2004 Marleo Rosso Sangiovese (Montecucco)
- $19
Nice and ripe, with sweet plum and black cherry on the open, well-padded nose. Full in the mouth, with satisfying cherry, plum and chocolate flavors. And it holds its form through the long, smooth finish. Just an easy wine to like and drink. Requires no serious contemplation.
