Perazzeta • Mercurio

Country: Italy
Region: Tuscany 
Varietal: Sangiovese, Cab Franc, Alicante
Vintage: 2013
Body: med-full
Alcohol: 13.5%
Alessandro Bocci, the winemaker at Perazzeta, will frequently spread his arms and declare with a grin, “I have to come work here every day.” He has a true passion for using traditional methods and capturing the terroir of the land in each bottle. I’m not going to lie - I have a bit of a crush on Alessandro.
This beautifully balanced red is 50% Sangiovese, 30% Cabernet Franc and 20% Alicanté. It hasn’t seen any time in oak. Ripe strawberry on the nose with some tart rhubarb peeking through. Plum and vanilla on the palate with just a touch of wet earth and mineral on the finish.

Today’s Chianti requirements have evolved, but Bettion’s impact remains.
While the region has been exporting wine since the 4th century b.c., the modern day Chianti recipe comes from Bettino Ricasoli in the 19th Century.  He was the first to require that Sangiovese be the main grape (70%) blended with Caniolo and Malvasia
Today’s Chianti requirements have evolved, but Bettion’s impact remains.  Here we have a sangiovese and Malvasia blend with classic blueberry fruit, good acidity, earthy spice and soflt tannins.  While this chiati may not be as complex as it’s history, it has much to offer for $12.
Try it with: Manicotti stuffed with spinach and cheese, melon wrapped in prosciutto, and, risotto (seafood, meat or veggie)

Antico Colle • Toscana Rosso

Country: Italy 
Region: Toscana Rosso IGT
Varietal: Blend
Vintage: 2010
Body: medium- full
Alcohol: 12.5%
Grown and produced on the green hills of Montepulciano.
This wine is grown and produced on the green hills of Montepulciano (the place not the grape).  While Antico Colle also produces a much more expensive Vino Nobile de Montalcino, this modest blend benefits from the time and care taken with the vineyards. 
We get a touch of vanilla on the nose and palate with dark berry fruit and nice structure and texture provided by the oak. Although the tannins are light, this wine will benefit from 15-20 minutes of air.  And, in case you were curious, this is a Sangiovese dominated blend with Cabernet Sauvignon, Canaiolo and Mammolo.

Try it with:
Spare ribs on smashed potatoes, mushroom risotto-prosciutto optional, grilled veggies with bagna couda.
