Flaccianello della Pieve · Colli Toscana Centrale IGT 2020 (Bio)

Fontodi's Flaccianello della Pieve is one of the great classics of Tuscany and one of the first single-varietal Sangiovese to achieve worldwide fame. It is a Sangiovese assemblage from several sites, which has enormous richness, concentration, power and warmth. On the nose of red and black fruits, Mediterranean scrub, coffee and chocolate. On the palate of substance and finesse, which only reach a relaxed, pleasant stage with aging. - Gerardo [TS01/21]

"A special red and for us a great wine is the Flaccianello della Pieve, in which the Sangiovese vine shows all its elegance. The fine aromatic overture leads to a taut taste with crisp tannins and straightforward finish. A bottle with the powerful and sunny disposition of the Panzano terroir, which will be even more splendidly displayed in a few years." - Slow Wine

"Very intense and bright ruby red. On the nose notes of classic violets, Amarena cherry, ethereal and spicy nuances. Powerful on the palate, warm of excellent body, with dense and well balanced tannins and good acidity component that supports the powerful flavor profile. Very long finish." - Doctor Wine (Daniele Cernilli)
"Rich, deep dark ruby. Compact, concentrated nose, showing notes of black truffle, blackberry, some black cherry, plus subtle balsamic tones. Powerful and gripping on the palate, showing grippy tannin in many layers, coated with lots of sweet melting, rich and long, a diamond in the rough that still needs to be polished by time." - Falstaff

Mille e una Notte · C.E. MAGNUM DOC 2019 (1er Holzkiste)

Mille e una Notte is the flagship of Donnafugata: the rich bouquet captivates with floral notes, balsamic hints and hints of tobacco.

I Sodi di S. Niccolò · MAGNUM IGT 2018 (1er Holzkiste)

A magnum bottle of I Sodi di San Niccolo from Castellare di Castellina in an original wooden box with sliding lid::

I Sodi di San Niccolo - the flagship of Castellare di Castellina - comes from the vineyard around the church of San Niccolo: this almost pure Sangioveto (Sangiovese) is complemented with Malvasia Nera, both from vines almost 30 years old. The color is an intense ruby red with garnet highlights. The aroma is fruity and reminiscent of wild berries, underlined by spices and some vanilla. This wine reached the top 100 of Wine Specator magazine several times and also received the coveted award of 3 glasses in the wine guide Gambero Rosso.

Barren soils are a basic requirement for high quality wines. Therefore, the sites where the vine has to fight for water and food are the most sought-after for Tuscan winemakers. The sites called 'i sodi' are in complete contrast to the 'campi', the fields. On the 'sodi' grow the most dense and refined wines. - Gerardo [TS11/19]

Tignanello · Rosso Toscana IGT 2020

Tignanello was the first Sangiovese to be aged in barriques, the first modern red wine to be blended with non-traditional grape varieties (such as Cabernet), and one of the first Chianti Classico red wines not to use white grapes. Tignanello is a milestone. It is made from a selection of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. - Gerardo [TS11/21]

"Vibrant ruby garnet red. Animating and ethereal aromas on the nose, with hints of cherry water, vanilla, leather, Amarena cherry, floral notes of violets and a touch of cocoa butter in the background. Salty and warm on the palate, excellent body, with silky and fine tannins and excellent length." - Daniele Cernilli (Doctor Wine)

"Powerful, bright ruby with a slight purple tinge. Opens with notes of ripe blackberries and mulberries, some cassis, earthy notes and some chocolate in the background. Round and supple in attack and course, unfolds with a rich mouthfeel, lots of fine-mesh tannin, coated with sweet melting, long and deep." - Falstaff

"The nose on the 2019 vintage of this Super Tuscan benchmark is soft and dense, with dark macerated berries in tension with green and black pepper, a hint of hibiscus or a cranberry tea, followed by tanned leather, wet soil and moss under a tree. The palate echoes the nose but adds more decadent notes of plum, fig and chocolate mousse, with tannins that feel like a good pair of loafers—supportive, but comfortable. It’s long and harmonious." - Danielle Callegari (Wine Enthusiast)

Guado al Tasso · Bolgheri Superiore DOC 2020

"Rich ruby red. In the nose of ripe wild berries and plum, slightly spicy in the aftertaste, complex nose. On the palate salty and with fine-grained tannin, fruity sweet, well balanced, has traction, long finish." - Falstaff

3 Unit(s) can be ordered at most, limited.

Quarz · Sauvignon MAGNUM DOC 2022

The sparkling yellow-green appearance of this Sauvignon is impressive. Its aroma is enticingly exotic, with a multi-layered fruit of mango, papaya, lime and red grapefruit. Herbal aromas reminiscent of lemongrass, lemon balm, mint and green tea are also clearly perceptible. It also reveals mineral flint notes combined with a hint of gooseberry. On the palate, there is an extremely interesting interplay. The juicy fruit aromas combine with the delicate minerality to create a remarkable harmonious fullness and give the wine a powerful and long finish. - Gerardo [TS03/23]

Terlaner I · Grande Cuvée DOC 2020

The sparkling, rich straw-yellow appearance of this wine is impressive. Its aroma is rich and complex; it presents multi-faceted aromas of citrus fruits, white pepper and herbs, accompanied by a delicate smoky note. The taste reveals its elegance and perfect balance, based on a remarkable structure and refined texture. These give it finesse and an unmistakable character. The exceptionally long and salty finish leaves a lasting impression that remains in the memory as the highest expression of a mineral terroir that is unique in the world. - Gerardo [TS03/21]

"We were looking for the perfect arrangement in which to express the innermost, authentic essence of the Terlan Winery. For a wine that would embody our tradition of over a hundred years and combine the greatness of our best vines and vineyard sites. And finally we achieved our goal: Terlaner I Grande Cuvée." - Rudi Kofler

"The bouquet shows tremendous impact: teeming with fruit, restrained yet buzzing aromas of seasoned oak, chalk and flint. A really elegant and structured palate shows white fruits, ginger, and dried honey with a vigorous acidity and almost stark minerality. A sensational wine with decades ahead of it." - Decanter

"The 2019 Terlaner Grand Cuvée Primo is youthfully backward and delicate, requiring coaxing to release its sweetly scented bouquet of peach skins, raw almonds, whole cream and smoke. It envelopes the senses with an elegant wave of ripe orchard fruits and spice, boasting medium-bodied textures, yet also vibrant acidity that works to balance the expression perfectly. A saline tinge lingers through the finale, along with pretty inner florals and hints of chamomile, as this tapers off incredibly fresh. The 2019 Grand Cuvée Primo is going to require cellaring to fully express itself. What a darling. It’s a blend of 70% Pinot Bianco, 28% Chardonnay and 2% Sauvignon Blanc." - Vinous

"The Alps and the Mediterranean meet in a glass! Mountain freshness (think wild herbs) and bright fruit (think Amalfi lemon) come together in a wine that marries a stack of fine tannins with wet-stone minerality on the the tightly wound palate. Make no mistake, this has been built for very long aging, so decant to aerate, if you drink it any time soon. Breathtaking energy at the very long finish." - James Suckling

On the palate, the wine presents itself full-bodied and at the same time spirited, spoils with its intense, elegant tannins and finishes with a long-lasting, fresh note." - Olga Fusari (Kellermeisterin Ornellaia)

"Rich ruby-purple. Very complex nose with notes of blackberry, cassis and elderberry, then fine spices, some cinnamon, cardamom and cedar. Polished and fine on the palate, opens with lots of fine-mesh tannin, ripe berry fruit, fireworks of spices on the back end, fine fruit melt." - Falstaff

Sassicaia · Bolgheri Sassicaia DOC 2020

The harvest began in the first week of September with the grapes from the younger vineyards, starting with the Cabernet Franc, then continued with the Cabernet Sauvignon from the vineyards at lower altitudes and ended in the last week of September with the grapes from the hills above 300 meters above sea level.

The grapes were selected using a sorting table to eliminate impurities and imperfections. Gentle pressing and careful destemming of the grapes to preserve the integrity of the berries and avoid excessive transfer of tannins. Alcoholic fermentation was completed at the end of October and took place regularly and at controlled temperatures. Frequent racking and pumping over allowed for excellent aroma extraction and fresh acidity in the musts. Malolactic fermentation took place in steel tanks at the end of November. In the first week of December, the wine was racked into oak barriques after frequent decanting to clean the musts.

At the end of malolactic fermentation, the wine was aged in barriques with 45% new wood, 45% first passage and 10% second passage. After more than 25 months of ageing in wood, the Sassicaia 2020 was transferred to steel tanks before final blending and bottling. It is then refined in the bottle before being released onto the market. - Gerardo [TS07/21]

"The 2020 Sassicaia is a bold, rapturous wine. Dark, fleshy and expansive on the palate, the 2020 offers up scents of blackberry jam, gravel, spice, new leather, licorice and crème de cassis. Potent tannins are nearly buried by the sheer intensity of the fruit. Sassicaia is never a huge wine, the 2020 does seem to have an extra dimension of textural intensity. It's an intensity that is hugely appealing.Estate Manager Carlo Paoli describes 2020 as a year with a long, rainy winter and a cold spring. 'Temperatures warmed up in the middle of June,' he explained. 'July was very hot, but heat moderated in August. Even so, it was a year in which ripeness moved quickly, as opposed to 2021 when ripeness was more gradual. We picked the entire estate in 22 days instead of the 29-30 that is more typical.' The 2020 spent 15-18 days on the skins, followed by 25 months in French oak, 50% new. Production is down about 30% because of selection in the vineyard.' - Antonio Galloni (Vinous)

"Complex aromas and flavors of black currant, blackberry, iron, sweet tobacco and Mediterranean herbs are the hallmarks of this elegant, tensile red, which is already revealing plenty, yet still feels reserved, as though there were many more facets to be discovered. Superb harmony, freshness and a long aftertaste prevail. Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2026 through 2045." - Wine Spectator

Sassicaia · Bolgheri Sassicaia DOC 2018

Italy's red wine icon turns 50: from 1968 to 2018, fifty vintages have passed and fifty editions of this seminal Super Tuscan blueprint have been created. Yet the 2018 vintage could not be more typical: Balanced and rich in finesse, this anniversary Sassicaia presents itself as an archetype for which a separate DOC was once even created. - Gerardo [TS07/19]

"Shiny, rich ruby-purple. Very crisp and clear fruit on the nose, precise, lots of cassis, blackberry and some leather. Also on the palate lots of juicy fruit, amazing freshness, dark currant, shows great tension, grippy tannin, fine mint on the finish, a long runner with potential for many years." - Falstaff

"All about radiance and finesse, this iconic Tuscan red has beguiling aromas of cedar, wild red berry, menthol and pipe tobacco that mingle with fragrant blue flowers. Made with 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Cabernet Franc, the focused, elegantly structured palate is vibrant and savory, delivering cassis, orange zest, licorice and a hint of coffee framed in taut, polished tannins. Bright acidity keeps it energized and balanced." - Wine Enthusiast

"Star bright raspberry in colour, this has an elegance and a sense of lift right from the start - a beautifully balanced, finessed and classical Sassicaia. The freshly cut and dried herbs of great Italian wines reveals themselves through the slow build up across the palate, along with gentle tobacco and liquorice notes. This is juicy and elegant, showing passion fruit and raspberry with an undertow of complexity. One to savour." - Decanter

"Refined and complex, this red is all about finesse and restraint, starting out with floral and black currant flavors that build steadily on the palate, with olive, cedar, tobacco and spice notes adding detail as this lingers on the terrific finish. Needs five to seven years to fully emerge." - Wine Spectator

Sassicaia · Bolgheri Sassicaia DOC 2019

With its clear purity, the 2019 Sassicaia is close to the model of the perfect Cabernet: even after 51 vintages, Tenuta San Guido remains true to its roots and creates a dynamic and finesse-rich Maremma Cabernet that walks entirely on the paths of the great vintages. Sublime and multifaceted, the Sassicaia 51 still sees itself as a super-Tuscan blueprint, for which once even its own DOC was created. - Gerardo [TS07/20]

"Powerful, sparkling ruby. Intense and clear nose with lots of incisive fruit, currant and mulberry, then subtle notes of cedar needles and spicy cedar, light resinous notes in the background. Shows cool and polished on entry, lots of juicy dark berry fruit, opens with grippy, dense tannin in many layers, builds long, very powerful on the back end, rich pressure, very long finish, some tobacco and subtle mint notes on the finish, a wine with great and long future, pressure and elegance." - Falstaff

"Enticing aromas of blue flower, cassis, camphor and spice are front and center in this stunning red. The lithe, savory palate features black currant, red plum and star anise while tobacco notes linger on the long finish. Elegant, polished tannins and bright acidity keep it beautifully balanced and focused. Drink 2025–2044." - Wine Enthusiast

"Sassicaia 2019 spent 25 months in oak (one-third new). ‘We are going longer in oak in the past few years,’ said Carlo Paoli, managing director of Tenuta San Guido. Quite pale in the glass, the nose is extremely graceful and intense with a lavender note enhanced by restrained bramble fruits, fermented citrus peel, an intense violet aroma and graphite minerality in depth. The attack is soft and full, the flavor savoury and cedary through to the finish, with integrated velvety tannins and lifted acidity. A perfectly woven structure is bound with signature freshness and fruit vibrancy, making this one for the long haul." - Decanter

"The latest release from Tenuta San Guido is the 2019 Bolgheri Sassicaia. The bouquet is up front and very expressive from the get-go. It offers a generous display of crunchy, dark cherry that hints at the extra concentration and fruit weight obtained in the 2019 growing season. This vintage will be remembered for the crisp richness of the fruit and its important textural imprint. It also shows fine elegance, bordering on the ethereal, with berry aromas, tarry earth and brushes of balsam herb or grilled rosemary. Sassicaia always shows an almost-glossy finely knit quality to the polished mouthfeel, and I find it again here next to fresh acidity and firm tannins. Mouthfeel in 2019 is the wine's strongest suit. The 2019 is one of the prettiest and most balanced editions of Sassicaia we've seen this past decade, along with the back-to-back duo of 2016 and 2015. The 2019 marries the precision of the 2016 with the rich fruit weight of the 2015" - Wine Advocate

Solaia comes from the sunniest part of the Tignanello hill. From the best grapes of the best vineyard. The rest is passion, care, attention and research. This is how Solaia was born, made from the most select grapes of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Sangiovese from the vineyard of the same name. - Gerardo [TS11/20]

"Dark luminous ruby red with opaque core. Fragrant and elegant nose, complex, of cassis and black currants, plus the finest precious wood, then again interplay of ripe blackberries and fine spicy components. On the palate enormously polished and finesse, with clear, present fruit and well-integrated tannin, comes along in many layers, precise, very long." - Falstaff

"Extraordinary rich aromas on the nose, with notes of blueberries, blackcurrants, sweet spices, tobacco and tar notes. Exciting and elegant on the palate, dense and velvety tannins, almost perfect with a structure of rare finesse, harmonious and powerful. The finish is of endless length. Great wine." - Daniele Cernilli (Doctor Wine)

"This wine has a deeply savory nose, with seaweed, soy sauce, olives, tobacco, black licorice and a rich medley of cherries, blackberries and plums. The fruity, spicy palate brings more berries, dark chocolate and chili peppers, emphasized by palpable heat and sticky but gentle tannins through a seemingly infinite finish. It’s exceptionally drinkable now, but a few more years would guarantee a command performance." - Danielle Callegari (Wine Enthusiast)

Epokale · Gewürztraminer Spätlese DOC 2016

Epokale was the first Italian white wine to be awarded 100 points by Robert Parker's Wine Advocate. This wine contradicts the classic notion of a South Tyrolean Gewürztraminer, redefines boundaries and impressively shows what this great variety is capable of.

Bright intense golden yellow color in the glass. Intense and impressive nose of rose petals, lavender, honeydew melon, mango and passion fruit. Strong presence on the palate, elegant and graceful, with enormous depth. Of pronounced aromatics, full-bodied and extract-rich but with fine spicy juiciness and salty minerality. Endless finish. - Gerardo [TS11/17]

"One of the best expressions of an Italian Gewürztraminer late harvest I have ever tasted. Epokale is a brilliant and inspiring wine, the first Italian wine outside of Tuscany and Piedmont to be awarded 100 Parker points by Wine Advacate." - Monica Larner

"After bottling, the bottles are stored for about 7 years in an old mine at over 2,000m sea level,. Golden yellow. On the nose, intense aromas of citrus, exotic fruits and lavender. In the mouth it shows extreme finesse and elegance with a deep and clear finish." - Daniele Cernilli (Doctor Wine)

"Sparkling, rich golden yellow with a green glow. Complex and intense nose of ripe peach and apricot, some dried orange peel and cloves. Round and full on the palate, lots of present fruit, spreads out with firm pressure, but seems a little ponderous overall, with a slight bitter note on the finish." - Falstaff

Troy · Chardonnay Riserva DOC 2020 (6er Holzkiste)

Six bottles of Chardonnay Riserva Troy in a high quality original wooden box:

The Chardonnay Riserva Troy comes from vineyards located at over 500 meters. Such a Chardonnay from high altitude is a rarity, but therein lies the charm: of pale straw yellow color in the glass, in the bouquet of fresh apples, supported by subtle citrus and mint notes. Fresh and cool on the palate, with spicy notes and hints of almond and hazelnut. The name Troy stands for 'path' in dialect and illustrates the long path of research and experimentation of the Tramin Winery with the Chardonnay grape variety. - Gerardo [TS12/21]

Terlaner I · Grande Cuvée DOC 2020 (3er Holzkiste)

The sparkling, rich straw-yellow appearance of this wine is impressive. Its aroma is rich and complex; it presents multi-faceted aromas of citrus fruits, white pepper and herbs, accompanied by a delicate smoky note. The taste reveals its elegance and perfect balance, based on a remarkable structure and refined texture. These give it finesse and an unmistakable character. The exceptionally long and salty finish leaves a lasting impression that remains in the memory as the highest expression of a mineral terroir that is unique in the world. - Gerardo [TS03/21]

"We were looking for the perfect arrangement in which to express the innermost, authentic essence of the Terlan Winery. For a wine that would embody our tradition of over a hundred years and combine the greatness of our best vines and vineyard sites. And finally we achieved our goal: Terlaner I Grande Cuvée." - Rudi Kofler

"The bouquet shows tremendous impact: teeming with fruit, restrained yet buzzing aromas of seasoned oak, chalk and flint. A really elegant and structured palate shows white fruits, ginger, and dried honey with a vigorous acidity and almost stark minerality. A sensational wine with decades ahead of it." - Decanter

"The 2019 Terlaner Grand Cuvée Primo is youthfully backward and delicate, requiring coaxing to release its sweetly scented bouquet of peach skins, raw almonds, whole cream and smoke. It envelopes the senses with an elegant wave of ripe orchard fruits and spice, boasting medium-bodied textures, yet also vibrant acidity that works to balance the expression perfectly. A saline tinge lingers through the finale, along with pretty inner florals and hints of chamomile, as this tapers off incredibly fresh. The 2019 Grand Cuvée Primo is going to require cellaring to fully express itself. What a darling. It’s a blend of 70% Pinot Bianco, 28% Chardonnay and 2% Sauvignon Blanc." - Vinous

"The Alps and the Mediterranean meet in a glass! Mountain freshness (think wild herbs) and bright fruit (think Amalfi lemon) come together in a wine that marries a stack of fine tannins with wet-stone minerality on the the tightly wound palate. Make no mistake, this has been built for very long aging, so decant to aerate, if you drink it any time soon. Breathtaking energy at the very long finish." - James Suckling

Sassicaia · 1x Bolgheri Sassicaia DOC 2018, 1x Bolgheri Sassicaia DOC 2019, 1x Bolgheri Sassicaia DOC 2020 (3er Holzkiste)

One bottle each of Bolgheri Sassicaia vintages 2018, 2019 and 2020 in a high quality wooden box with hinged lid:

Description Sassicaia 2020: The harvest began in the first week of September with the grapes from the younger vineyards, starting with the Cabernet Franc, then continued with the Cabernet Sauvignon from the vineyards at lower altitudes and ended in the last week of September with the grapes from the hills above 300 meters above sea level.

The grapes were selected using a sorting table to eliminate impurities and imperfections. Gentle pressing and careful destemming of the grapes to preserve the integrity of the berries and avoid excessive transfer of tannins. Alcoholic fermentation was completed at the end of October and took place regularly and at controlled temperatures. Frequent racking and pumping over allowed for excellent aroma extraction and fresh acidity in the musts. Malolactic fermentation took place in steel tanks at the end of November. In the first week of December, the wine was racked into oak barriques after frequent decanting to clean the musts.

At the end of malolactic fermentation, the wine was aged in barriques with 45% new wood, 45% first passage and 10% second passage. After more than 25 months of ageing in wood, the Sassicaia 2020 was transferred to steel tanks before final blending and bottling. It is then refined in the bottle before being released onto the market.

Description Sassicaia 2019: With its purist purity, the 2019 Sassicaia is close to the model of the perfect Cabernet: even after 51 vintages, Tenuta San Guido remains true to its roots and creates a dynamic and finesse-rich Maremma Cabernet that walks entirely on the paths of the great vintages. Sublime and multifaceted, the Sassicaia 51 still sees itself as a Tuscan super Tuscan blueprint, for which once even its own DOC was created.

Description Sassicaia 2018: the red wine icon of Italy turns 50: fifty vintages have passed from 1968 to 2018 and fifty editions of this pioneering Super Tuscan blueprint have been created. Yet the 2018 vintage could not be more typical: Balanced and rich in finesse, this anniversary Sassicaia presents itself as an archetype for which even its own DOC was once created. - Gerardo [TS07/21]
