"The 2019 Turpino, Querciabella's top wine from Maremma, is understated and yet quite expressive. Black cherry, plum, mocha, spice and licorice are nicely lifted by a good dose of Cabernet Franc in the blend. This aromatic, layered red holds quite a bit of appeal. I would prefer to drink it over the next handful of years." 93, Antonio Galloni, Vinous

"The 2022 Mongrana is a fun, juicy wine to drink now and over the next handful of years. Bright red cherry fruit, spice, mint, tobacco and leather add layers of nuance. Floral and savory accents linger. There's a bit of dryness on the finish, but that's a small critique for a wine that offers so much value." Antonio Galloni, Vinous

"The 2022 Batàr is airy, fresh and nuanced. Hints of tangerine oil, mint, lemon peel, almond and dried flowers are all nicely lifted in this aromatic, refreshing white. The style continues to move in the direction of energy and vibrancy. These days, there's minimal lees-stirring and just a hint of new oak, a response to changing climate conditions and stylistic...

The 2015 Palafreno is one of the more understated Tuscan Merlots readers will come across.

A little less intense and concentrated that its younger brother, the 2008 showed a delicate finesse with a layered, savoury quality and a gentle balance of herbs and dark fruits. There is a warm quality that comes through from the sophisticated oak which lingers on the finish. Overall this is a lovely wine with a very attractive and elegant pedigree....
