Difficult vintages make honest wines. 2023 presented Tuscany with unusual challenges: a cool, rainy spring with peronospora pressure, hail damage in parts of the region, followed by a hot summer. In Montalcino, the favourable protective effect of Monte Amiata and the altitude came together in a positive way: Where the conditions were right, wines of surprising lightness and floral freshness were produced – less powerful than last year's vintage, but with a grace that becomes a strength in good hands. Carla Ferrini's fifth vineyard at 400 metres also yielded single-varietal Sangiovese in 2023, which was vinified according to a tried-and-tested method: 7 days of fermentation, 13 days of maceration, 12 months of ageing in tonneaux, oak barrels and cocciopesto amphorae, rounding off in cement, 6 months in the bottle. A rhythm that allows the wine to tell the story of the vintage – without correcting it.

Light, bright ruby red colour. Fresh notes of sour cherry, pomegranate, violets and fine herbs. Lean and precise on the palate, with a fine texture, good acidity and an elegant, clear finish. Drink cool, open early. SUPERIORE.DE

"Medium-dense, bright ruby red colour with a delicate garnet shimmer. Presents itself on the nose with lots of crisp cherry fruit, some pomegranate, cloves in the background. Taut acidity on the palate with pithy and surprisingly firm tannins, still youthful on the final." Falstaff

"Sangiovese from the vineyards of Montalcino, with notes of violets and black berries, flanked by tobacco and rosemary; supple in the mouth, the tannins powdery, the acidity fresh, finishing long on notes of red berries and pepper." Vinum

This impressively bright and straightforward Sangiovese comes from a single vineyard, the fifth (hence "La Quinta") planted by Carlo Ferrini on the estate. The 2023 combines energy and savouriness with a complexity of milk chocolate, cherry, orange peel and black pepper. Delicious!" Decanter
