" A tangy raspberry and pomegranate attack is followed by some ripe dark fruits wrapped in soft, open-knit tannins. Tenuta San Guido sources the Sangiovese for Le Difese from family friends in nearby Chianti Montespertoli and Chianti Rufina, but as a result of the widespread peronospora (downy mildew) in 2023, the percentage has dropped from 70% in 2022 to 65%...

“This wine is mostly Sangiovese with a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon. The Petrolo 2022 Torrione reveals a luminous ruby tinge and follows through with bold cherry, blackcurrant and crushed rose. This vintage brings forth more textural heft in terms of mouthfeel, and it feels a little richer on the finish. You get excellent quality at a still-affordable price.” 94 points....

"The Fèlsina 2022 Chianti Classico Riserva Berardenga shows pretty softness and plushness with dark fruits, plum and blackberry tart. This vintage delivers a hint of sweetness and some spice, but the wine remains easy and straightforward in terms of mouthfeel. This is an earthy, savory Sangiovese that matures in tonneaux for 12 to 16 months. Production is 50,000 bottles. "...

"Lots of rose petals on the nose, together with orange peel and cherries. Medium-bodied with very long and bright fruit character. Goes on for minutes, with so much energy and brightness. Drink or hold." 95, James Suckling

"Transparent garnet verging on ruby. Very round and satisfying with true maritime Sangiovese character coming out. Gentle yet very obviously varietal. Tangy, dry finish with lovely, soft, appetising fruit on the way there. Long and really as luscious as Sangiovese gets." 17 Points, Jancis Robinson "This is really crunchy and juicy, with plums, sliced peaches and some fresh basil and...

"The 2022 Syrah is bold, punchy and super-expressive. Dark red/purplish fruit, spice, lavender, mint and dried herbs are all beautifully delineated, while a touch of stems adds character without overpowering the wine. The 2022 was aged 80% in French oak and 20% in amphora, a choice that works so well here. This mid-weight Syrah is all class." Antonio Galloni, Vinous.

"The bright ruby 2021 Piandorino boasts lovely aromas of licorice and fresh raspberries that lift from the glass of this medium-bodied red. It’s spectacular, and I highly encourage readers to snap up these wines, as they are just full of pure joy, great energy, outstanding purity, and great length. This is so pure, fresh, and crystalline in nature, I wish...

"50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 13% Sangiovese and for the first time 7% Cabernet Franc. Harvest in September. Two weeks’ maceration. Aged for 18 months in 225-litre barriques. TA 4.99 g/l, pH 3.71, RS 0 g/l. Transparent ruby. Complex, distinctive nose. Sweet, very lifted, transparent, distinctive palate too! The small Sangiovese element is tastable. Quite floral and forward but an...

"Cavaliere is the flagship of Sangiovese in Bolgheri. 'It’s our Sangiovese selection in the estate vineyards, harvested at full maturation,' said Giacomo Satta. Fermented with 30% whole-bunch fruit in 30hl open-top oak vats with indigenous yeast then aged in concrete for 18 months, the 2019 is ripe with plentiful cherry and raspberry fruit aromas. There's a floral and spicy touch...

"Michele Satta is one of Italy's biggest ambassadors for the Viognier grape that he pretty much single-handedly brought to this part of the Tuscan Coast. His 2022 Giovin Re is immediately generous and rich with honey, baked apple, a note of spicy saffron and an elegant mineral note at the back. The acidity is very nice with tart lemon and...

“The 2023 Boggina A is compelling. Sweet pipe tobacco, cedar, mint, dried cherry, orange peel and dried rose petal give this deceptively mid-weight Sangiovese notable aromatic presence along with a palpable touch of exoticism. I especially admire the wine's dynamic energy and overall complexity.” 93 points. Antonio Galloni, Vinous

“The 2023 Trebbiano Boggina B is one of the best vintages of this wine I have tasted. Aromatic, layered and super-expressive, the 2023 is an absolute delight from the very first taste. Floral overtones meld into apricot, peach, almond, chamomile and dried herbs. Fermentation in barrel leaves a slightly phenolic, bitter character that is quite appealing. The long, substantial finish...
