"Pale pink in the glass, it offers a wealth of red peach, rosehip and blood orange flavours that linger long enough to invite a second glass of this famous Italian rosé." Falstaff

"Bright baby pink with a luminous core. In the nose of ripe strawberries, blood orange and cold tea. Shows good structure on the palate, grippy but still very elegant and precise, rich pressure and present fruit, juicy-dancing finish." Falstaff

Luca Gardini

Bright, shining ruby. Youthful nose of early ripe cherries and wild strawberries, slightly vegetal, delicately peppery and spicy in the aftertaste. On the palate very precise, juicy and with young tannin, crisp fruit, high drinkability, in a few months even more complete. A great food companion. SUPERIORE.DE

"Young fellow with a lot of freshness and fruitiness. Very much sour cherry and mineral salty style. On the palate juicy, fresh, with then more sweet cherry and strawberry fruit. Red rose hips with hibiscus flowers come into play here. The tannins are very soft and supple. Refreshing in its way and despite its buoyant nature, it has length, lots of fruit and perfectly defined tannins. Tastes like more even when chilled! Really good Morellino." Vinum

"The Morellino di Scansano 2022 is fabulous. Aromatic, sensual and inviting, the 2022 is an ideal wine to drink now and in the years to come. Silky tannins envelop a core of dark red/purple berry fruit, lavender, rose petals, spice and menthol. All elements are very well balanced. A real charmer." Vinous

"Aromas of roses, crushed stones and light cherries. Medium body. Crisp. Very tasty. Crisp finish." James Suckling

Golden yellow with greenish reflections and the sweet scent of fresh fruit. These wonderfully fruity aromas also prevail in the taste, along with the wonderful mousse and the fine typical nutmeg spice in the finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"A fragrance like that of a good feather wine. In any case, very light and juicy. There is a hint of white pepper. The perlage is discreet but there, a successful surprise, it supports the wine on the palate. There it also provides a good structure. On the tongue, it seems like a light wine, despite its sweetness. The aromas here are reminiscent of orange blossom and pineapple sweets. Playful, flattering, but also with a certain pretension. Bravo!" Vinum

"Aromas of wildflowers, mint, stone fruits and ginger lift from the glass of this elegant Moscato. The soft palate showcases ripe peach flavors with a hint of savory herbs on the finish." Wine Enthusiast

"Light salmon rosé. Juicy, fruity scent of red plums and ripe mirabelles, also a nice phenolic is recognisable here. Also on the palate the full juicy fruit of stone fruits and green and white berries (gooseberry). Also something vegetal like green herbs and leaves. It also shows a fine minerality. Partner for seafood and light fish dishes." Vinum

"The bouquet of the 2019 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Silìneo opens as if chiseling into an ashen stone to find a mix of blackcurrants and exotic curries. It has a soft texture, is airier and more refined than expected, with juicy blackberry fruit accompanied by sour citrus and savoury herbal notes. Grippy tannins linger under hints of violet and lavender as the 2019 finishes structured but not austere. The Silìneo is mainly Sangiovese with a little Mammolo and Corolino." Vinous

"Aromas of ripe berries and cherries with vanilla undertones. It is full and juicy with a big palate and a creamy finish. Multi-layered, if a little old-fashioned." James Suckling

"One of the best-balanced 2020s, Gracciano della Seta's Vino Nobile is discreetly padded with an abundance of dark, fleshy cherry, yet remains straightforward and sculptural. The tannins are slightly steely but yield smoothly, while zesty, citrusy acidity provides graceful support. Nuances of forest, leather and mint interweave with notes of orange that linger." Decanter

"Dried-herb and olive-stone notes to this savory red, mingling with cherries and blood oranges. It’s medium-bodied, juicy and nicely balanced. Fine tannins. Fresh and tasty finish." James Suckling

"A blend of dusty rose, cedar, spice box, clove and dried black cherry makes the 2019 Rosso Montecucco Riserva impossible to ignore. The palate is silky and supple, with juicy acidity enlivening the tart wild berries, while a layer of fine tannins gently caresses the senses. Hints of red candy and liquorice linger as the 2019 finishes with decent length and persistent concentration. Although it is already pleasant to taste, a short stay in the cellar is recommended." Vinous

"Multi-layered nose of cherries and menthol; pithy in the mouth, the acidity lively, fresh balanced progression to an elegant final." Vinum

"Sangiovese, with participation of Ciliegiolo and Cabernet Sauvignon, for another of Maremma's "favourite sons". In the nose notes of blueberries, then laurel and undergrowth, at the end again eucalyptus. Juicy on the palate, iodine tannins, fruity and balsamic notes." Luca Gardini

Racy and succulent in the glass, the 2018 offers up dark cherry, mocha, spice, licorice and leather, all nicely framed by a discreet kiss of French oak. Pretty floral accents lift the finish effortlessly. This mid-weight Maremma red is a winner. Drink it over the next handful of years. " Vinous

"The Morisfarms 2018 Maremma Toscana Sangiovese Barbaspinosa is a lively, almost electric wine, with medium-dark color saturation and terrific aromatic depth. There is bright cherry, redcurrant, spice and a powdery overlay of crushed stone. This wine should drink comfortably up to the 10-year mark." Wine Advocate

 

Bright, lightening garnet, very clear bouquet with emphatically fresh fruit notes of berries and rhubarb, elegant on the palate with well-dosed power, smooth tannin; juicy, persistent and long. SUPERIORE.DE

"Cherry juice and violets on the nose, but still somewhat closed. The palate seems supple, so it will appeal to a broad, international audience. Sweet cherry and red currant are the dominant fruit flavours, with some liquorice in the finish. Aged for six months in wooden barrels, the tannin is polished and friendly." Vinum

"Medium ruby red with brightening edges. A little restrained on the nose at first, then pomegranate and rosehip as well as a hint of undergrowth. On the palate fruit-driven with pleasant pressure." Falstaff

"Alta Mora's entry-level red wine is the 2019 Etna Rosso, which is 100% Nerello Mascalese from the Solicchiata, Verzella, Guardiola and Feudo di Mezzo sites. You really can't go wrong with a charming and lively red wine like this. The bouquet is perfumed, immediate and fruity with wild cherry and cassis. I like the aromatic intensity of this vintage. The palate is medium-bodied with a short but fresh finish. These characteristics make it a good choice for the kitchen." Wine Advocate

"Aromas of raspberry, watermelon, gravel, nutmeg and lemon. Medium-bodied with tight tannins and bright acidity. Wild and mineral on the finish." James Suckling

Independent and full of character - an almost exotic white wine from the noble Bolgheri DOC appellation.

SUPERIORE.DE

"The Bolgheri Bianco Costa di Giulia 2022, a Vermentino/Sauvignon Blanc blend from Satta, is bright, steely and crisp, making it a good choice to drink now and over the next two to three years. Orchard fruit, white pepper, salt, mint and citrus give it brightness." Vinous

"Bright silver straw yellow. Very restrained on the nose. On the palate then very juicy with crisp acidity, with green-spicy play, fresh and crystalline in the finish, dry." Falstaff

"Spicy menthol nose, elderflower, smartly topped with notes of hay; compact in the mouth, the acidity perfectly integrated but also subtle saltiness." Vinum

The Riserva is young and demands the palate, but all within the comfort zone. Sangiovese with drinking appeal!" Vinum

"The Morellino di Scansano Riserva 2020 is another compelling wine from Elisabetta Geppetti. Dark and explosive, the 2020 has so much to offer. An explosion of dark plums, chocolate, liquorice, spices, leather and menthol sweeps across the palate. harvestwill find a Morellino of unusual density and nuance. Outstanding." Vinous

"Bright cherries, spices and a hint of dried flowers. Also rose stem. Medium bodied with firm and slightly chewy tannins. Bright. Needs time to soften." James Suckling

This sparkling wine is named after the minimum 36 months of bottle fermentation it must undergo.

The result is impressive: bright ruby red with garnet reflections. On the nose, sour cherry, redcurrant and wild rose, rounded off by candied cherry and traces of light smoke. On the palate, powerful, complex, round and creamy in texture, the candied fruit is well-dosed, juicy, clear and with a full-bodied, long finish. Trentasei combines the tradition of the region with an already visionary new interpretation of a Sorbara Spumante, which remains in the memory even after the bottle has been emptied far too quickly. SUPERIORE.DE

This is silky-smooth and elegant, with cooling minerality and crisp red fruits that cascade throughout. It finishes long and staining with a spicy twang and gently grippy tannins, punctuating the experience well. Poliziano has captured the ripeness of the vintage in a beautifully balanced manner. This is terrific." Vinous

Brilliant ruby red colour with a slightly brightening rim. Impressive aroma of red berries, smoke, roasted almonds and dark spices.

"Intriguing aromas of black cherries, finely coated with notes of pepper and leather; powerful on the palate, the tightly woven tannins and ripe acidity well integrated, fruity and spicy finish." Vinum

"The 2020 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano opens slowly in the glass as coaxing releases a bouquet of dusty rose and woodland berries lifted by a split pine note. It's fresh and vibrant for a young Boscarelli, cascading across the palate with masses of mineral-tinged red berries and savory spice. This finishes remarkably long yet with a bump of residual acidity that nicely offsets its dusty tannins. The 2020 is surprisingly approachable yet also balanced for a steady evolution." Vinous

"The initial notes of vanilla and cocoa are complemented by tobacco, heather and plum. On the palate, the lush, supple fruit balances the robust structure and inner firmness of the tannins. It is extended by wild black and redcurrants, and a savoury note adds an interesting touch. Satisfying and complex." Decanter

Medium to full-bodied on the palate with a bone-dry, transparent mid-palate and a firm, mineral tannin layer. Fruity, but also concise and precise. Already a pleasure to taste and drink." James Suckling

"The Bolgheri Rosso 2021 is a great wine that shows just how compelling this vintage is on the Tuscan coast. Exuberant and deep, the 2021 is wonderfully complex from start to finish. Gentle notes of mocha, new leather, cedar, tobacco and dried flowers add complexity." Vinous

"Refined combination of blackberries, coffee and dried flowers; palate with character, robust tannins, lingering fruit and herbal notes on the finish." Vinum
