It is a sharp and zippy Morellino, carrying some tones of bitter almond and candied orange peel at the back of forest berry and wild cherry. This is an easy-drinking red that would feel right at home next to a cheesy baked eggplant dish." Robert Parker

"Vermentino is basking in the spotlight of popularity as of late. The 2018 Di Macchia gives you good reason to understand why. This widely planted white grape found across Coastal Tuscany offers a specific level of clarity, freshness and purity that is almost green or herbal in character. Rather than citrus, it offers lime or honeydew melon with a tiny hint of freshly mulled mint leaf at the back. Those green accents give the wine a great sense of dimension and energy." Robert Parker

Poggio Argentato is a beautifully balanced white with a French touch. In the nose a multi-layered bouquet with fine herbal notes. On the palate strong, fresh, elegant and carried by a mineral acidity, citrus tones in the aftertaste. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2018 Poggio Argentato is a fresh white that benefitted from a cool May and June and plenty of rain in August. The blend is 60% Sauvignon Blanc, 25% Petit Manseng, 10% Traminer and 5% Semillon. Fermented in tonneaux, the wine has a very precise bouquet, although the mouthfeel still needs to take on more volume and weight. There are nice little aromas of white flowers and honeysuckle. Give this one a few more months in the bottle to take on more weight before serving it along side a plate of spaghetti with vongole and chopped parsley." Robert Parker

"This is precise and pretty with sliced apples and limes, as well as mineral undertones. Full body. Dry and flavorful. Bright finish." James Suckling
