"This is the wine with which my experience as a winemaker was born. A wine from a single vineyard in which I frankly find all the characteristics of Bolgheri that I love: clear and juicy fruit, balance. The Merlot brings volume and softness, the Cabernet Sauvignon structure. I give a lot of space to the very Tuscan Sangiovese, which adds complexity and drinkability." Fabio Motta

Pievi is lighter and fresher than you would expect from Bolgheri, with soft and silky tannins. The bouquet has aromas of cooked cherries and blackberry jam, with a hint of mint and rosemary. The wine, aged only in cement, is open and has a loose structure. The main focus is on the sun-kissed fruit from the sand and clay soils at an altitude of 50 metres above sea level. A wine that makes you want to reach for a glass again and again. SUPERIORE.DE

"Exudes a scent of blackberries, eucalyptus and dried roses; well-balanced structure with vivid acidity, tightly woven tannins and a polished finish with fine spicy fruit." Vinum

"Bright ruby red colour. Fragrant, open-hearted nose, rich cherry fruit, tomato paste, raspberry jelly, paired with subtle vinous aromas and elegant spice. Equally spicy on the palate, with a taut attack and medium fruit, showing tightly woven tannins, salty undertone, with a fine grip, taut, presses firmly on the palate, balanced and contemporary." Falstaff

"Crushed berries, cassis, fresh rosemary and a hint of walnuts on the nose. Medium-bodied with a deep, juicy core of berry fruit, framed by velvety tannins, firm and fleshy on the finish." James Suckling

"The bouquet is reminiscent of ripe blackberry jam or baked plums, but is well integrated into the medium to full texture of the wine. Matured without oak to preserve the purity of the fruit and the expression of the site, the 2023 finishes with beautiful freshness." Wine Advocate

"Aromas of sour cherries burst out of the glass, layered with dill and fennel. Vibrant on the palate with seamless tannins. A bright wine full of energy and finesse." Decanter
