Made in Tuscany’s Montalcino region from 80% Sangiovese and 20% Canaiolo, Mocali “Fossetti” Rosso Toscano is an appealing example of a good, affordable Tuscan table red. Delicious fresh black-fruit aromas waft from the glass, an appealing blend of black cherry, berries, and subtle spice. Mouth-filling flavors follow the nose, shaped by fresh-fruit acidity and soft, palatable tannins.

Bodega Garzón Tannat Reserva is dark purple, almost black, with luscious ripe blackberries and subtle kirsch black-cherry liqueur in the aroma. It’s full-bodied and acidic, with a delicious unsweet blackberry flavor but without sweetness. Hints of granite minerality lurk in the background. Bold but balanced fruit keeps Tannat’s fabled tannic astringency in check.
