TASTING NOTE: Twenty kilometres from downtown Florence, Villa Le Calvane is perched on the hills of the Montagnana Val di Pesa, adjacent to the legendary Castle of Montegufoni. This wine brings alluring notions of allspice, new leather, violets, cherries and currants on a sleek, youthful frame. There's a touch of chewy tannin on the finish. Exceptional value. Sip it through 2028 with steak-and-arugula pizza or pasta Bolognese. (Vintages panel, Oct. 2017) Price $ 14.95
