"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 2021 Boggina A, 100% Sangiovese in amphora, is brilliant. Medium in body and wonderfully translucent, the 2021 captures all the magic of the year in its finely cut, chiseled personality. Once again, Luca Sanjust and his team have turned out a stunning, vivid Sangiovese that is a far cry from earlier vintages, when this wine was often much less...

"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 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...

"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...

The 2015 Palafreno is one of the more understated Tuscan Merlots readers will come across. This site, in the Ruffoli district of Greve, at 400 meters above sea level, yields a distinctly savory, nuanced Merlot that emphasizes energy and nuance over power, all of which make it a truly special and distinctive wine.94 points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous

"The 2019 Rosso di Montalcino is dreamy, wafting up with dusty rose, crushed cherries and sage. This flows across the palate with ease, energetic and lifted with a solid core of ripe wild berry fruits that slowly drench the palate in youthful tension. A coating of fine-grained tannins remains offset by a bump of residual acidity, tapering off spicy and...

" 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 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....
