The Many Moods of Tuscan Reds

  • Great Wine Buys 1515 NE Broadway St Portland, OR, 97232 United States (map)

Although Tuscany is mostly dominated by one single red variety (Sangiovese), Tuscan reds come in many shades and moods depending on sub-region, winemaking, etc. Let's start the 2026 tasting calendar with a tour of Sangiovese from the hill towns of Montalcino and Montepulciano, Chianti Classico and more. To showcase a very different personality, we'll also pour a 20-year-old 100% Cabernet Sauvignon (2005) from a vineyard just outside of San Gimignano whose older vintage wines we have loved for years.

Come enjoy Sassetti Brunello di Montalcino 2019, Avignonesi Vino Nobile di Montepulciano 2021, Isole y Olena Chianti Classico 2020, La Spinetta Il Nero di Casnova 2020 and Falchini Campora 2005. Nice wines all around!
