Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon: AG, Wine Advocate 95 pts
"The 2004 Chianti Classico Riserva Vigna del Sorbo is an explosive wine endowed with a layered, sumptuous expression of sweet dark fruit. Menthol, licorice and floral overtones develop in the glass, adding further complexity. This stunningly beautiful wine offers tremendous persistence yet it will require patience as its structural components are formidable."

Sangiovese: WA 96 points
"Manetti-s 2004 Flaccianello della Pieve (100% Sangiovese aged in 100% new oak) is simply stunning. Fresh and vibrant, it offers compelling aromatics and endless layers of fruit that develop in the glass, with superb length on the palate and gorgeous overall balance. Although it is still holding back much today, make no mistake about it, Flaccianello is one of Italy-s blue-chip wines and the 2004 is a profound vintage for this wine."

Sangiovese: AG, Wine Advocate 94 pts
"The 2004 Le Pergole Torte (100% Sangioveto) is a special wine. Beautiful dark cherry, spice, mineral and menthol nuances emerge from its layered, beautiful frame. It shows outstanding depth buttressed by finessed, silky tannins in a classic, medium-bodied style. Today the wine remains very primary. The full breadth of its expression will come only with extended cellaring. Readers seeking instant gratification or who want to be blown away by sheer concentration will likely find more pleasure in other wines from this great vintage. Those who are willing to invest the time to appreciate this wine’s elegance, finesse and textural beauty will be amply rewarded with a superb bottle of wine. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2029."

Sangiovese Grosso: Antonio Galloni, Wine Advocate 96 "Soldera's 2001 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is just as it was when I tasted it from barrel last year, which is to say monumental. This silky-textured Brunello offers an array of crushed flowers, spices and deeply-layered dark red fruit in a style that manages to be both delicate and powerful at the same time. Deceptively medium-bodied at this stage, it appears to be holding back much of its potential but will be a remarkable wine in another decade or so. This is a superb effort from Montalcino-s most eccentric producer."

Sangiovese Grosso: WA 90 pts
"Valdicava’s 2006 Rosso di Montalcino is a very serious Rosso. Notes of scorched earth, tar, sweet dark fruit and smoke flow from its richly-textured, full-bodied frame. As it sits in the glass wild herb and tobacco overtones develop, giving this sweet, dense wine another dimension of complexity. This is one of the more large-scaled, structured 2006 Rossos readers are likely to come across. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2013."
