The 1990 Riserva is the most open and easy to drink of the trio of wines from Sergio Manetti (although all of the wines are flattering and accessible). A blend of Sangioveto and Canaiolo, the Riserva is lighter-bodied and less intense than Le Pergole Torte and Il Sodaccio. It should drink well for 7-8 years. The 1990s from proprietor Sergio Manetti are the finest I have tasted from this high profile Tuscan producer. All three wines exhibit considerable ripeness, as well as wonderfully layered, textured palates with gobs of ripe black-cherry fruit intertwined with spicy new oak.
