"Paler than the 2017. Mid garnet and a suggestion of oak on the nose. The particularly ripe fruit slightly disguises the ultra-digestible, appetising nature of the carefully selected Sangiovese parcel that informs this wine. Chestnut notes and still quite a bit of tannin. Much sweeter than the 2017 with lower acidity. Still a good drink but perhaps less obviously Sangiovese....

"A rich and powerful core of fruit, with real depth of flavour. Tannins are bigger, as you would expect. True power vintage in velvet gloves. An oxymoron wine as it has real power but so beautifully elegant. Is this a ballerina? So graceful yet incredible strength of structure… I could go on. Classic Roagna excellence." Armit Wines

"A limestone terroir brings incredible elegance and complexity, with savoury tannins and piercing acidity. Everything about this wine is bright, with youthful fruit and flowery notes and an obvious eucalyptus character. The concentration of fruit is well balanced and crafted in the almost laser focused line of flavour that runs from the first to the last expression." Armit Wines

"Asili is intense with obvious piano wire tension. Black fruits on the palate are tight and focused. Tannins very well balanced. Power in a velvet glove again, with impeccable complexity and style. Will age forever. Quantities are very limited." Armit Wines

"Always amongst the most sought-after of the single-vineyards. Black pepper and black fruit. Lovely softness in the mouth and sweetness of fruit. Rich mid-palate. So powerful yet open in its structure. A classic warm vintage expression but with the Roagna elegance. So juicy. Extremely limited." Armit Wines

"Darker fruit, more black than red berry. Some herbal, sage-like aromatics. Interesting saline aromatic on the back. Smells like the sea on a windy day… Whilst the palate depth is more expressive than the other wines, it’s definitely closed by comparison yet deeper and concentrated. You can see the underlying power waiting to express itself. Fantastic potential." Armit Wines

A little less intense and concentrated that its younger brother, the 2008 showed a delicate finesse with a layered, savoury quality and a gentle balance of herbs and dark fruits. There is a warm quality that comes through from the sophisticated oak which lingers on the finish. Overall this is a lovely wine with a very attractive and elegant pedigree....

"Impressive aromas of fresh herbs from the Tuscan coast, such as sage, mint, rosemary and thyme. Blackcurrants, too. Full-bodied with fine, chewy tannins that show beautiful length and consistency. Racy and beautiful, with lots of subtle and refined character. Slightly more cabernet sauvignon this year, which adds class to the wine. 80% cabernet sauvignon, 10% merlot and 10% petit verdot....

"Il Marroneto’s single-vineyard bottling is a selection of small loose bunches, manifested in the density of fruit and assuredness of structure. Next to the estate’s ‘classic’ Brunello, it often leads with an earthier, more autumnal countenance. The 2018 corresponds with fragrances of chestnut and forest undergrowth juxtaposed with the vintage’s fruit sweetness. Layers of long suede-like tannins wrap around fleshy...
