Bellezza is indeed a beautiful expression of Sangiovese (aged in oak) that peels back layer after layer with cherry, spice, leather and tobacco aromas. The fruit-driven finish is long, smooth and satisfying. ——M.L.(4/1/2011)—— 91

A lot of sawmill is present up front, but behind the loud oak there’s plum, raisin and some herbal leafiness. Attentive red fruit carries the palate, backed by a quick but clean finish that splits out the side doors. A bit gritty but will work with food.——M.S.(9/1/2006)—— 86
