“The nose abounds with ripe, fragrant fruit and sweet spice. Plum, strawberry, blackcurrant and forest floor reveal the interplay of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, which constitute equal parts of the blend this year. The palate is juicy and supple, with admirable freshness given the warm vintage, framed by fine tannins. A juicy, sumptuous Super Tuscan. Guidalberto is carefully matured in...

" 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 Fèlsina 2022 Chianti Classico Berardenga is an entry-level proposition with a soft and ripe fruit profile. The bouquet delivers black cherry and baked plum over a simple, lean-bodied mouthfeel. This is one for immediate drinking with a pasta al pomodoro. " 89 Points, Monica Larner, Wine Advocate

"This is an amazingly floral and earthy wine with pure, rose petal and cherry blossom hints on the nose, bounded by superb rigidity on its flanks. There is a sensationally voluminous palate here, and the experience is amazingly long. Somehow, it maintains control throughout, travelling directly and steadily across the palate, never wavering or changing pace. Relentless, beautiful and resonant,...

"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. "...

"Take the estate 2021 above, turn up the volume, add trumpeters to sound its arrival, and roll out a red carpet on your tongue. Goodness me, this wine took my breath away. It redefines the notion of a Grand Cru wine. Perhaps we can add Ultra Grand to the vinous lexicon? This is an awe-inspiring wine, and the second ‘perfect...

"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 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...
