"The 2019 Barbaresco Riserva Rose delle Casasse is fabulous. Rich and ample in feel, the 2019 is seriously impressive. There is a feeling of breadth that is palpable. Dark red/purplish fruit, rose petal, blood orange and spice blossom with a bit of coaxing. Readers can drink the 2019 now or cellar it. Time in the glass brings out the wine's...

"Guidalberto used to be great value for money, and even though it's a bit pricier these days, the quality has also improved dramatically in recent vintages as Tenuta San Guido seeks to remove the idea of Guidalberto as a ‘second wine’ by building a dedicated winemaking facility and adjusting the blend. The 2022 is loaded with herbal and sea breeze...

"The 2018 Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva is impossible to ignore. Bright cherry-berry fruits burst from the glass, complemented by autumnal spices and a hint of blood orange. Energetic to the core, it features tart raspberry and citrus tones propelled by vibrant acidity, while a tactile mineral tinge adds crunch toward the close. A web of fine tannins frames the finish...

"A multilayered and funky wine with assertive aromas of candied lemon peel, lees and subtle smoke. Medium-bodied with zesty acidity, a tight-knit structure and chalky minerality in the finish. Long and precise. Drink or hold." 94 Points, Aldo Fiordelli, James Suckling

"The Fèlsina 2021 Fontalloro reveals an elegant bouquet with a streamlined character that delivers good intensity but never goes overboard. In fact, this vintage might be a little thinner than I remember past vintages being. But Sangiovese wears this slender style well and delivers lots of wild cherry and forest berry nuances along the way. You also get soft mineral...

"Monforte d’Alba. Lustrous mid ruby with orange tinges. Enticing nose of spicy stalks, minerally saline notes and subdued fruit that slowly opens up with aeration. Suave cherry fruit with just the right dose of supple acidity, finely ground tannins and a whiff of exotic spice. Stunning balance. Closes up on the finish so more to come." 18 Points, Walter Speller,...

"Serralunga d’Alba. Very pale ruby. Stunning nose of crushed raspberry and stony, savoury notes. Lots of juice and fragrant, lithe raspberry fruit on the palate. Fine, sandy tannins that stick to the fruit on the palate. Fantastic balance and length." 17++ Points, Walter Speller, Jancis Robsinson "Pale ruby in the glass, with gianduia chocolate, redcurrants, dried cherry and dried flowers....

"A wildly expressive and untamed Cerretta that dances between savory depth and bright vitality. Ancient church incense and mixed spices weave through memories of sacred spaces while a vibrant core of wild cherry bursts forth with electric energy. The tannins are precisely crafted, present but refined, providing elegant structure without overwhelming. Brilliant acidity drives the wine forward, creating a thrilling...

"Serralunga d’Alba. Pale ruby. Seductive raspberry nose with the merest suggestion of oak. Has a certain coolness about it. Sappy raspberry fruit, elegant and perfumed on the finish with subtle, fine tannins. A very pretty wine and ready now." 17, Walter Speller, JancisRobinson.com

"The 2022 Morellino di Scansano Riserva is a tasty wine to drink now and over the next handful of years. Intense red-toned fruit, leather, cedar, tobacco and incense are front and center. The warmth of the year is evident, and yet this is very nicely done, with fine balance and tons of charm to match. It will be especially fine...

"The 2023 Nardo is 85% Sangiovese and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon. A dense, closed wine, Nardo is quite promising today. This pre-bottling tank sample is suggestive of a wine that is going to need quite a bit of time to come together. Dark red-toned fruit, crushed flowers, licorice, spice and dried herbs open with some coaxing. I look forward to tasting...

"Marina Marcarino energetically manages this estate following organic viticultural practises. The Campo Quadro Riserva is complex and multifaceted, with minty and balsamic notes along with camphor, a slightly foxy character and cedar wood. Ripe and velvety on the palate, with firm acidity and a leaner-styled body, it shows pleasant fresh strawberry and raspberry fruit, although it lacks the concentration to...
