Angelini was a booth where we spent a great deal of time at VinItaly, and I came away impressed at the wide array of wines that the winery produces, from simple inexpensive wines to top-quality Brunello. On the lower end is the San Leonino Chianti Classico, though it is by no means a poor wine. With 2004 being a superb vintage in Chianti (and Tuscany as a whole) it's definitely worth trying most any wine from a quality producer.
The wine wasn't anything I would consider as world-class, but it really had no flaws. It was the perfect mid-week, reasonably priced, food-friendly wine. I drank it over a few nights with consistent notes, and for $16 had no complaints at all. Good producer + exceptional vintage means a fine value that I'd recommend to anyone.
