Tenuta Villa Trasqua 2006 Trasolo Merlot (Toscana)
- $90
From a 300-acre property in Castellina in Chianti, Trasolo (100% Merlot) is a top-shelf wine with rich opulence and sophistication. Deep layers of cherry, blackberry, spice and leather are folded tight together and the wine is smooth and enduring on the close.

Tenuta Villa Trasqua 2005 Trasanto Occhio di Pernice Sangiovese (Vin Santo del Chianti Classico)
- $50
Made with red Sangiovese grapes that have seen botrytis, or noble rot, this Occhio di Pernice expression of Vin Santo opens with very distinctive aromas of prune, raisin, candied orange peel, maple syrup and honey. The sweet wine is sticky and thick in the mouth and a touch of citrus zest helps it move forward over the palate.
