[Billives.typepad.com] Portals and KM: Italian Wine - Wine Expressions: The success of the Super-Tuscans has fostered renewed creativity among the Chianti producers, leading to hybrids like Brancaia’s Chianti Classico, a well-balanced, fruity Sangiovese/Merlot blend that earns high marks from Wine Spectator and Wine Expressions customers alike.
