" Elisa Sesti recalls that when temperatures started to rise after the abundant rains of June, the vines burst into growth. That generosity and exuberance is echoed in the scents brimming in her Brunello. Heather, lavender, mint – even a trace of helichrysum – all swell from the glass. Less forthcoming on the palate for now, it is nonetheless replete...

“The 2022 Boggina C is a potent, brooding wine. Floral and earthy notes lead into a core of bright red Sangiovese fruit. Beams of tannin lend shape, while also suggesting a bit of cellaring will be essential. This structured Sangiovese has plenty to offer.” 94 points. Antonio Galloni, Vinous

" The organic 2018 Camartina is 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Sangiovese. A consistent performer vintage after vintage, this Tuscan blend shows an exotic quality, with barbecue spice or steak sauce that frame a core of supple dark fruit. But the aromas don't stop there. It unfolds to show balsam herb, blue flower and grilled rosemary. The wine is packaged...

In the nose, this enticing white is a complex, beguiling play of aromas with fruity nuances of exotic fruits such as pineapple, notes of blossoms and flowers, of rose petals and light toast aromas. Dense and complex, the wine enthuses on the palate: with fullness and structure, creamily soft and elegant, stimulatingly fresh and juicy with a discreetly incorporated, modest...

"The 2020 Sangiovese Riserva Vigna Boggina is another stellar wine in this range from Luca Sanjust. Deep, rich and explosive, the 2020 possesses remarkable intensity from start to finish. It is more a wine of place than a truly varietal Sangiovese, but does that matter? The Riserva spends 16-18 months in wood, mostly cask with some medium-sized barrels as well....

"Intense, the 2020 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Archivio seduces with its pungent aromatic display, blending cedar shavings with balsamic spices, cooling smoke, plum sauce and grilled herbs. Soothingly round and supple, this floods the palate with ripe wild berry fruits and hints of blood orange. A web of fine-grained tannins mounts toward the close. It finishes with staining length and structure, leaving...

"The 2019 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Colle Vota is intense, trading grace for power in this vintage, with a burst of dried black cherries, dusty sage, roses and Indian spice forming its bouquet. This splashes across the palate, spicy with ultra-ripe wild berry fruits that saturate, expertly balanced by a core of zesty acidity. The 2019 leaves a staining of primary concentration...

"The floral aromas are spellbinding, with aromas of violets, lilacs, orange peel, raspberries, rose petals, and some oranges. It’s medium- to full-bodied with crunchy and open-grain tannins that are creamy and caressing. It’s endless in the finish. Crunchy and energetic. A wine that is thoughtful and gives you such great pleasure. Such purity. It’s like eating perfectly ripened grape must....

"The 2023 Gabbro, 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, is shaping up to a gem. Aromatic, savory and bursting with varietal character, the 2023 has it all. The style is one of tension and focus, with less of the opulence proprietor Fabio Chiarelotto preferred in his early days. Then again, the Tuscan coast provides plenty of textural intensity of its own. Cool blue-toned...

"More open, slightly darker and more foresty initially, this is a more muscular wine and also a blunter weapon to be unsheathed for meatier dishes and colder nights. Smoky, sylvan and fertile, this is a more traditional style with a shorter, but broader attack, and I like its hearty attack and sense of gusto." 18.5/20 Points, Matthew Jukes
