Vagnoni 1997 Riserva Sangiovese (Chianti Colli Senesi)

Price $14

A slightly muted nose of dark cherry and toast offers hints of rose and tar. Similar flavors play on the palate with a touch of chocolate and a smooth mouthfeel. Long and dry, the espresso-tinged finish is elegant. The depth of fruit can be sensed and this should open up with short-term cellaring, displaying more depth and richness in a year’s time. — W.E.

Vagnoni 2007 Vernaccia (Vernaccia di San Gimignano)

Price $24

This is crystalline Vernaccia with bright aromas of pear, citrus and a touch of white peppercorn or natural rubber. It goes down in a fresh and clean manner and ends with a citrus crispness. — M.L. (9/1/2008)

points

Vagnoni 2000 Riserva Sangiovese (Chianti Colli Senesi)

Price $24

Candied cherry and raspberry aromas give off a jammy sensation, while the plum and berry fruit that carries the palate also brings with it some severely spiked acidity. Mainstream Chianti, with a slight scouring edge. — W.E. (4/1/2005)

Vagnoni 2007 I Mocali Riserva Vernaccia (Vernaccia di San Gimignano)

Price $33

There’s a smoky-toasty quality to this Vernaccia that masks the wine’s natural fruit and emerges as its most immediately recognized aroma. It has a tart, spicy feel in the mouth thanks to oak aging, and enough acidity to keep it clean. — M.L. (9/1/2008)

points

Vagnoni 2006 Fontabuccio Vernaccia (Vernaccia di San Gimignano)

Price $25

Easy and simple, this crisp white has a clean, fresh approach and ends with a blast of citrus fruit. Best with grilled vegetables and basic chicken dishes. — M.L. (9/1/2008)

points

Vagnoni 2002 Vernaccia (Vernaccia di San Gimignano)

Price $15

Muddled and sulfuric at first, with matchstick aromas preceding a palate of citrus and apple. That heavy, burnt note burns off with time, leaving a tangy apple and citrus palate. Nothing spectacular, but better than initial impressions indicate. — M.S. (8/1/2004)
