Borgo Scopeto Chianti Classico 2010
Borgo Scopeto 2010 Chianti Classico Tuscany | 90% Sangiovese 5% Merlot 5% Colorino from such renowned vineyards as Fornacino, Misciano, Vittoria and Cagliano and matured in large Slavonian oak casks, this is Classic Chianti Classico with wisps of black tea, woodsy scents, ripe cherries, fine grained tannins that combine with the fragrance into a cocoa nuance, and a fragrant finish that echoes all of these into one seamless but nervy whole –a delight.

This is vibrant and energetic, with a base of fine-grained tannins lifting the cherry, currant, rhubarb and tobacco flavors. Taut and almost racy on the long finish. —B.S.

Seriously anything tomatoey sings with Sangiovese, pizza and pasta to be sure. Sausages, chicken, gazpacho. Bread salad.
