Hold this one in your cellar!
Jan 30, 2008
Just finished a bottle of 2000 vintage with pasta and a fresh tomoato sauce. The pairing was excellent. We wish there were more bottles in our cellar. Perhaps aging more than 1 or 2 years is worth the wait.

Fantastic companion

A great wine that can pair well with most dishes. Its structure, balance and quality make it a great choice for an everyday glass of wine.

I tried this wine because of its reviews. I can see they are correct--which is why it is out of stock today as I tried to get some more. It is a very good blended wine.

Great Wine Value

2002 Vint. Goes well with everything from steak to cheese to chocolate. Nice tannins for such a value based wine. 100% IGT Sangiovese at a $10 price point is rare.

This will surprise you...

Like everyone else here... I loved it! My snobby friends can't tell this wine apart from the ones I brought home from Luca! Truly a value to be cherished.

Good wine with red sauce or pizza, but not outstanding. Perhaps it was our mistake not to let it age.

Good Wine for the Price
Mar 31, 2010
Good wine for the price with bright plum, and dried cherry on the nose. Not overly excited about this wine and not sure about the WS 90 rating. Not so good on day 2 so drink immediately.

About Tuscany
Along with the Piedmont, Tuscany is Italy's most important wine-producing area. Chianti, Brunello, Vino Nobile, and Vin Santo are known all over the world, as are the ""Super Tuscans,"" a large group of important, high-quality reds born in the early 1970s and now representing some of Italy's best wines. Back then, producers began chafing under the restrictive regulations of the DOC (Denominazione di Origin Controllata). Some sought to avoid using certain legally recommended grape varieties, such as the Italian white grapes that were considered an integral part of Chianti; others started blending Cabernet and Merlot, which at the time were proscribed, with native grape varieties.
While Tuscany offers a plethora of riches to the wine lover, some of its most famous Tuscan wines, especially Chianti and Brunello, are experiencing a slump in sales. There are many reasons for this, beginning with a steep rise in prices over the last five or ten years. There has also been a wave of new, moneyed owners who have not let their lack of winemaking experience get in the way of buying a piece of this beautiful region. This has opened the floodgate for oenological consultants, many of whom work for numerous estates in the same area but routinely apply their tried-and-true recipe to winemaking, leading to the production of Tuscan wines that resemble one another to a dismaying degree. Add to this the insistence on making deeply colored wines that are often overconcentrated, overoaked, and charmless, and you begin to have a good idea of why Chianti and some other Tuscan red wines don't sell all that well anymore. Fortunately, producers have begun to recognize these errors, prices have finally stopped rising, and, mercifully, more trees are being allowed to live as less importance is afforded to new oak barrels.
