Borgo Scopeto, like Caparzo, its sister property in Montalcino, makes consistently fine wine. The 2008 Chianti Classico, a blend of mostly (90%) Sangiovese with equal amounts of Merlot and Colorino, delivers a lot of bang for the buck. Dense and concentrated, it has marvelous uplifting acidity that reminds you of its Tuscan origins. And for all its stuffing, it’s remarkably polished and easy to enjoy now with a grilled veal chop. It’s an excellent buy.
