Treat yourself to a large glass, or even better: decant the wild and racy Il Guercio, then a dark berry mix with black cherries and a hint of dark chocolate will be in the air. Equally juicy Sangiovese fruit on the palate, full-bodied with fine silky tannins, elegant and finely structured, with animating acidity, very precise and animating in the long finish. Potential for many years in the cellar. Not at all loud, but a highly impressive wine full of elegance and the winery's masterpiece. SUPERIORE.DE

"Sparkling, shiny ruby red colour. Emphasises spicy notes on the nose, floral notes of roses and juicy, fresh cherries, underpinned by vegetal spice. Opens up on the palate with great crispness, juicy, clear, shows youthful, fresh tannins on the final, pithy and savoury." Falstaff

"The 2022 Il Guercio is laced with hints of wild cherry, kirsch, dried flowers, mint and white pepper. High-toned aromatics remind me of Gianfranco Soldera's Brunellos. This ethereal, gracious pure Sangiovese needs time in bottle to come together. It is undeniably attractive." Vinous

"Spicy and racy with flavours of ripe dark cherries, dried raspberries and hints of chocolate, dried orange peel and wet stones. Exciting and juicy on the palate, with a medium body, crisp tannins and a savoury, dried herb character on the finish. I like the peppery and earthy complexity. It is multi-layered and full of character." James Suckling

"This IGT red wine is balanced and light-coloured with a slender consistency. The fruit tones are presented with good intensity and multi-layered nuances. You get some of the bitter flavours from the skins (from the long maceration), red apple, wild herbs, blue flower and gravel." Wine Advocate
