"The 2005 Gentile di Casanova (Sangiovese) is dark, brooding wine packed with dark cherries, smoke, underbrush, leather and tar. There is terrific density, richness and energy, all of which come together in this stylish, generous red. The finish is refined and harmonious. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2013. Although proprietor Giorgio Rivetti is best known for the wines he makes in Piedmont, his Tuscan offering have come a long way in the last few years.
