Villa Pillo 1998 Vin Santo del Chianti White (Vin Santo del Chianti)
- $22
This brilliant, amber-colored Vin Santo boasts intense notes of dried apricot, almond paste, pine nuts, honey and baked peach pie. The aromas are rich and layered and the wine’s thicker consistency is a real pleasure on the palate.

Villa Pillo 2005 Sant'Adele Merlot (Toscana)
- Editors' Choice
- $16
Villa Pillo’s Sant’Adele is probably Italy’s best Merlot at this price point. The wine is soft and smooth with beautiful intensity of aromas that spans from red fruit to sweet spice. It demonstrates clarity and balance with a velvety, opulent style and a crisp close.

Villa Pillo 2000 Borgoforte Sangiovese
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $12
Lighter framed, and a touch on the traditional side in terms of its lean color and subdued aromas of dried fruits and herbs. In the mouth, cherry, beet and chocolate mix nicely, while it finishes fairly large and expansive. Still firm and needing a few years of cellar time. The blend is Sangiovese, Cabernet and Merlot.

Villa Pillo 2003 Borgoforte Cabernet Sauvignon-Sangiovese (Toscana)
- Best Buy
- $12
Quite full and ripe, a sure reflection of a warm year. Dark berry and prune aromas start it off, followed by ripe, oozing, black-fruit flavors. Extracted but not overdone, with a touch of complexity and depth. A lot of wine for the money.

Villa Pillo 2001 Borgoforte Sangiovese
- Best Buy
- $12
Snappy and full of cherry, but also a tad green. There’s cherry, raspberry and plum across the palate, and ample sweetness to the finish. It’s not heavy, but the tannins are full.

Villa Pillo 2008 Borgoforte Red (Toscana)
- Best Buy
- $12
Borgoforte is a well built and very well priced super Tuscan blend that would taste great with meatloaf and mashed potatoes. The wine is dense and round in the mouth with pretty but simple aromas of wild cherry and blueberry.
