Full throttle Sangiovese with beautifully integrated toasted notes (thanks to 12 months in French oak) that frame aromas of prune, black cherry, plum, leather and vanilla: This is a modern, deep and smooth wine with rock-solid structure.

San Patrignano 2003 Montepirolo Red (Colli di Rimini)

San Patrignano 2001 Montepirolo Cabernet Sauvignon (Colli di Rimini)
- $45
This Cabernet starts with mild but inoffensive coconut aromas that are backed by pungent red fruit and a hint of herbaceousness. Plum, blackberry and chocolate flavors dominate, but there’s a shock of oregano in there, too. Lasting on the finish, and saturated. Not stylish but sound. Imported by Palm Bay Imports.

San Patrignano 2001 Avi Sangiovese (Sangiovese di Romagna)
