Val delle Rose 2006 Riserva Sangiovese (Morellino di Scansano)
- Online Exclusive
- $25
There are slightly cooked aromas here of mature fruit or smoked bacon that gives this bright Morellino a saturated and rich feel. You’ll also get background aromas of crushed black pepper and clove with soft, chewy tannins.

Val delle Rose 1999 Sangiovese (Morellino di Scansano)
- $14
There’s plenty of pop to this bright, tight versatile red. Pretty full-fruited aromas rise up along with earth, leather and spice. The lively palate races with blackberry, and the finish is satisfyingly long and clean as a whistle. Youth should be served here; drinking this Sangiovese now is the way to go.

Val delle Rose 2005 Riserva Sangiovese (Morellino di Scansano)
- Online Exclusive
- $24
Morellino di Scansano is an up-and-coming red wine from Southern Tuscany that is easy and fun to drink. This ruby-colored expression delivers fresh tones of cherry and red currants and it has a soothing, soft texture in the mouth thanks to one year of oak aging.

Val delle Rose 1998 Riserva Sangiovese (Morellino di Scansano)
- $19
Some cool earth, leather and smoked meat aromas get this ripe, full-bodied Sangiovese going. The palate is fairly soft, a reminder of blackberry pie. And there’s plenty of unmistakable milk chocolate, too. Look at it as a tamed, rich, enjoyable red; a wine well suited to an autumn dinner.

Val delle Rose 2000 Riserva Sangiovese (Morellino di Scansano)
- $19
Jammy and high strung, with nice red-fruit aromas and even more zesty raspberry on the palate. Finishes chunky and fleshy, but without a ton of acidity. Flavors of cola, coffee and mocha are the end touches.

Val delle Rose 2003 Sangiovese (Morellino di Scansano)
- Online Exclusive
- $15
Sweet, ripe and welcoming, with aromas of cherry, cotton candy and rubber. More cherry and raspberry come forward as you taste, while the finish is short and a bit tart. Pretty good, with snap, crackle and pop.

Val delle Rose 2002 Sangiovese (Morellino di Scansano)
- $15
Jumpy and scattered on the nose. Shows green flavors intermixed with raspberry and cherry. Never finds its stride; previous vintages were better.
