This blend of Sangiovese and Canaiolo offers a nose of berry fruit and light almond shadings backed by an easy, informal mouthfeel. Pair this fruit-driven red with pasta or pizza. ——M.L.(10/1/2010)—— 87

Fossetti opens with a ruby color and sharp aromas of cherry, wild berry, cinnamon and nutmeg. The wine is tight and straightforward with a simple, easygoing disposition. You could pair it with roasted chicken or ham. ——M.L.(3/1/2010)—— 86
