" 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%...

"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...

Straw yellow colour. The nose opens with hints of ripe fruit with yellow flesh, in particular apricot and peach. The fruit is embellished with notes of acacia flowers and Mediterranean scrub and accompanied by briny and balsamic notes. In the mouth the vertical and vibrant freshness and sapidity balance the large and rounded body, with good alcohol content. The long...

Intense and complex, with notes of pear, peach, chamomile, and orange blossom. Fresh and with good minerality. Full and elegant on the palate. Pairs well with medium-aged cheeses, baked fish, risottos, and red mullet in "acquapazza" style.

On the palate, cassis, blueberry and raspberry fruits are balanced by a refreshing acidity and smooth tannins while a mineral character on the finish gives complexity and great definition. Harmonious and very elegant with considerable depth, this wine is drinking beautifully...

A clear straw yellow characterizes the Pinot Grigio Vigna “Castel Ringberg”. A complex variety of fruits, especially ripe pears and lime blossom, as well as spicy sage notes inform the bouquet. Structure and elegance, power and harmony dominate the palate, combined with creamy fullness and density. A single vineyard Pinot Grigio with a lot of character!

"Mid crimson. An open and generous nose with strawberries. Perhaps lower acidity here. The wine expands generously in the mouth, while retaining some precision. The fruit is a little darker behind and persists well." 88-91, Jasper Morris

"One of the best Dolcettos on the market. Even this gorgeous everyday expression from Roagna transcends the humble grape variety. Lively, floral and mineral driven, the wines spends 70+ days on the skins with submerged cap maceration, yielding a Dolcetto of rare precision and complexity. In a word, delicious." Armit Wines

"Dark purple, plenty of dark raspberry fruit still racy. Plump, juicy, joyous, with some tannins behind, Plump and charming." Jasper Morris
