FEATURED WINES
2008 TIAMO SANGIOVESE MARCHE ITALY OUR PRICE $9.99
ORGANIC Sangiovese grapes from Italy's Marche region. Tiamo means "I Love You" so naturally we could not resist sharing this one with you. This wine has a similar profile to the Sangiovese from Chianti, but since it is grown in a warmer, sunnier region, the wine is richer, fruitier and more full-bodied. Additionally, 10% of the varietal Primitivo is blending into the Sangiovese to help further strengthen the fruit profile and weight of the wine. The resulting wine is rich and deep in flavor but is also soft and elegant.
2007 SAN FABIANO CHIANTI PUTTO TUSCANY ITALY OUR PRICE $13.99
Grape Varietal: 60% Sangiovese, 10% Cannaiolo, 10% Ciliegiolo, 20% Malvasia Toscana
WINE ADVOCATE 86 Points
BEST VALUE WINE - San Fabiano’s 2007 Chianti Putto is a fresh, vinous Chianti to enjoy over the next year or two. It is an excellent choice for casual, informal drinking.
2005 CASTELLO DI MELETO CHIANTI CLASSICO TUSCANY ITALY OUR PRICE $19.99
90% Sangiovese, 10% Merlot
Vineyards location: San Piero, Casanova and Casi vineyards surrounding the castle in Gaiole in Chianti.
WINE ADVOCATE 88 Points
Castello di Meleto’s 2005 Chianti Classico offers vibrant dark fruit intermingled with floral notes on a classic, firmly-structured frame. This cask-aged Chianti offers excellent balance, even if hints of greenness occasionally come through.
2007 CAMIGLIANO ROSSO DI MONTALCINO TUSCANY ITALY OUR PRICE $22.99
100% Sangiovese Grosso
Vineyards location: Camigliano (Montalcino)
WINE ADVOCATE 89 Points
The 2007 Rosso di Montalcino is a mid-weight, vinous style of Rosso that reveals perfumed floral red fruits and an easygoing personality. The balance here is simply lovely.
2008 ROBERT OATLEY ROSE OF SANGIOVESE AUSTRALIA OUR PRICE $16.99
Dry Rose made from 100% Sangiovese in Australia! Great for the hot summer sun.
Produced by the specialist ‘Saignée’ method of making rosé, where the wine is drained off the skins after only a short period of contact, giving a very pink rather than red wine. It has been deliberately made at the drier end of the rosé spectrum.
