Tosco's word
Colliforti's Riserva Sangiovese appeals to those who want a typical anchor and a well-documented producer, with its 8.2 for typicity and 8.3 for winemaking, even though its €29 price and lack of distinction weigh on its 7.1 value-for-money score. The Risveglio 2020, at €24, offers better value for money (7.2) and higher recognition (6.2 vs 6.0), but its unnamed grape varieties and unconfirmed distinctions make it less reliable for a demanding enthusiast. If you prioritize terroir precision and a pure Sangiovese profile, choose the first; if your budget is tighter and you accept some grey areas, the second suits you better.
