Helios Rosso |
This red blend shows especially well with an abundance of rich dark red fruit accented by earth, tobacco and licorice. It has a firm structure with round tannins and an especially appealing, long savory finish. |

Siciliani Nero d'Avola |
This dark fruited wine is big and full and firmly structured. It reveals a pleasant pepper spice that complements the sweet dark fruit. Delicious and dry on the finish. |

Pleasingly aromatic and richly flavored, this Rosso reveals dense, fresh dark cherry and plum with hints of vanilla, tobacco, and a touch of charred oak. It finishes long with fine, firm tannins. |

Rocca di Castagnoli |
Poggi ai Frati Riserva Chianti Classico |
Aromas of violet, tobacco and a whiff of fresh sage lead the nose on this savory wine. The juicy chewy palate offers ripe black cherry, clove and star anise while fine-grained tannins provide support. Drink through 2023. |

Rocca di Castagnoli |
Buriano Cabernet Sauvignon |
The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Buriano is a promising wine, especially if the tannins soften. There is terrific purity to the fruit, and hints of game, smoke, licorice and pepper add layers of dimension. |

Rocca di Castagnoli |
Stielle 2013 Chainti |
Succulent red cherry fruit and expressive floral notes meld together in the 2013 Stielle, Rocca di Castagnoli's top Sangiovese. The flavors are deep and vibrant. This is in an especially supple style for the year, but it all works quite nicely. |

Hentley Farm |
The Beast |
As the name suggests, this wine is indeed big and powerful, but it’s elegant and classy too. Heady notes of violets, red berries, smoked meat, white pepper and licorice are entwined with tightly wound, fine-grained tannins. One for the cellar. Drink 2019–2032. |
