Poderuccio · Toscana IGT 2018

Great 'Supertuscan' from Merlot, Cabernet-Sauvignon and Sangiovese which were partially aged in barrique: Beautifully structured, while at the same time balanced and soft. Good to drink young due to its harmony, with further refinement in bottle. - Gerardo

Castellaccio Rosso di Toscana IGT 2016

Barrel-aged Castellaccio is made from 60% Sangiovese, the indigenous grape variety, and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon. This combination, now firmly established in central Italy, has earned the wine the nickname 'Supertuscan'.

The color is a fiery, deep red ruby with garnet reflections. The bouquet is broad with ripe fruit, licorice, sandalwood and graphite. Full-bodied palate followed by hints of cigar box and vanilla bean. Of smoothed tannin and persistent finish. - Gerardo

"Lots of blackberry and cherry on the nose with hints of flowers. Full-bodied, spicy and rich with plenty of fruit and a meaty, lightly tannined character." - Wine Spectator

Le Difese Toscana IGT 2019

Le Difese is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese, which is aged for 12 months in French and American barriques. The color is a lively garnet red, with aromas of wild berries and plums, as well as light floral notes and some underbrush. In the drink fresh and juicy, of typical Sangiovese character. - Gerardo

"Bright ruby red with a sparkling core. A touch of reduction on the nose, opening with air on cherries, cinnamon sticks, wild strawberries and bright spice notes. Clear and juicy on the palate, showing good drinkability, pithy salty tannin underpins the finish." - Falstaff

"Fresh fruity nose with notes of small forest fruits, also fine spice; balanced on the palate, juicy texture with a pleasant finish." - Vinum

"Surprisingly pale – more Pinot-like than a Cabernet blend! A sweet-sour red-cherry fruit profile, with a notable herbal edge, perhaps reflecting the higher Sangiovese proportion than 2018. On swirling, some cassis joins the party and there’s a background woody, cinnamon note. That sweet-sour sense comes through on the palate too, with a ripeness of red cherry and strawberry cut through with acidity. Pretty fine-grained, powdery tannins that are more refined than previous Le Difese vintages I have tasted. A touch of alcohol on the finish, but overall an enjoyable, perfumed red." - Jancis Robinson

Guidalberto Toscana IGT 2019

Guidalberto is a typical 'Supertuscan' made from selected Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes: the color is a rich ruby red with intense bright reflections. The aroma is of ripe red fruits, some bourbon vanilla and chocolate. On the palate, full-bodied and of dense tannins, a wine full of character. Partly the same grape material is used as for the first wine of the house, Sassicaia. - Gerardo

"Elegant, dark ruby red. Opens on delicate bacony nuances, then ripe raspberries and cherries, reverberating with delicate earthy nuances and wild berries. On the palate with plenty of grip and juicy tannin, has salty undertones, well balanced in itself, with persistence." - Falstaff
