Curtefranca · Terre di Franciacorta Rosso DOC 2019 (Bio)

Medium garnet color in the glass with ruby reflections. The fruity aroma is reminiscent of red berry fruits and some incense. In the drink the wine is dry and of solid structure.

Vigna Santella del Gröm · Curtefranca Rosso DOC 2016

Dark ruby color with scattered light red inclusions. Intense and harmonious bouquet of ripe fruit and hints of noble wood. On the palate full-bodied, finesse and silky with soft tannins and fresh acidity. - Gerardo [TS12/17]

On the nose very intense fruity notes of ribes, wild cherry, licorice and leather. The palate is plump and soft and of grippy tannins. The finish is fine and persistent. - Gerardo [TS06/21]

Burdese · Sicilia Menfi Rosso DOC 2018

Interesting cuveé of Cabernet-Sauvignon and Cabernet-Franc: Deep, concentrated ruby red in the glass. The bouquet is dense and concentrated, reminiscent of ripe red fruits and sour cherry, with light hints of cocoa and minerals. Wonderfully balsamic, full-bodied and silky on the palate. Great Sicilian! - Gerardo [TS08/19]

"Bright ruby with a rich violet sheen. Very intense nose with lots of ripe dark berry fruit, at the beginning a lot of tobacco and leather, then full of dark currants and blackberries, carob in the background. Straightforward and clear on the palate, lots of juicy fruit, then opens with firm, sturdy tannin, gives the wine a lot of grip, long finish." - Falstaff

"With ample intensity and definition, this wine shows the power of two Bordeaux grapes, 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Cabernet Franc, with the softness and sunny sweetness you might expect of a warm wine territory such as Sicily. The Planeta 2016 Sicilia Menfi Burdese shows a dark garnet appearance and medium rich concentration. Dried spice, scorched earth and black fruit appear on the bouquet. There is a dry, almost dusty quality to the tannins that are present but without any noticeable astringency. This would match up nicely with a classic Sicilian skillet of fennel sausage, orange slices and bread." - Robert Parker

Mori Vecio Riserva · Rosso Riserva Trentino DOC 2018

The three-part cuvée of Merlot, Cabernet-Franc and Cabernet-Sauvignon is intense ruby red color with garnet reflections.

Cabernet-Franc DOC 2018

This single varietal Cabernet Franc comes from vines with an average age of 30 years. Due to the long maceration of the grapes, the tannins and aromas blend perfectly with a dense red cherry fruit. On the nose, berry notes mingle with some fruit salad and light vegetal hints. The palate is balanced, rich and typically spicy for Cabernet Franc. - Gerardo [TS06/19]

"...Son Patrick has almost perfected his oenological skills in a very short time." - Gambero Rosso

The strike price shows the lowest price of the last 30 days.

Kirchhügel · Cabernet Riserva DOC 2020

Various small vineyards on gravelly soils with clay content at 250 - 350 meters above sea level are included in Cabernet 'Kirchhügel'. Even in decidedly sunny years, Cabernet 'Kirchhügel' does not become bulky and broad. A typical Unterlandler acidic nerve gives the muscular body sinew and impressive staying power in the bottle. If you are patient with Cabernet 'Kirchhügel', you will be rewarded with exciting tertiary aromas after extended bottle aging, reminiscent of an oriental tea ceremony: cedar, suede, tobacco, toasted hazelnut, cookie and dried blackberries. - Gerardo [TS07/21]

"Somewhat nutty and dried-vegetable to tobacco aromas of ripe blackcurrants with herbal nuances and a hint of tomato paste. Clear, quite juicy, youthful fruit, fine tannin, some bite, herbal and restrained smoky aromas on the palate, good persistence, a little tobacco, ash and mint, salt in the background, a hint of licorice and a little dark ethereal spice, gains depth with air, very good, juicy and spicy finish." - Wein-Plus.eu

"Intense bright ruby red with slight edge brightening and rich core. Fruity aroma of ripe currants and blueberries, some tobacco and coffee aroma on the finish. Hits the palate comfortably, seems coherent from the start and pulls through with juicy acidity from the onset, smooth texture, lively finish, nice balance." - Falstaff

"Firm, somewhat dried-herbal and tart-tobacco aroma of ripe blackcurrants with a hint of blood, tomato paste and ashy traces. Ripe, fairly fresh and juicy, polished fruit with smoky, roasted oak notes, a little pepper, herbs and a hint of iodine, persistent and fairly dense on the palate, ripe, fairly fine tannins, some bite, persistent on the palate, restrained bitter chocolate tones in the background, restrained power, very good, firm, juicy and finely spicy finish with light chocolate notes." - Wein-Plus.eu

Loam · Cabernet-Merlot Riserva DOC 2020

The Loam is a Cuvee of a special kind, consisting of 50 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, 15 percent Cabernet Franc and 35 percent Merlot; these varieties have been at home in South Tyrolean vineyards for over 150 years. It presents a garnet to dark garnet red color, and its aroma is reminiscent of tart aromas of wild cherry, black currant, dried fruit, chocolate and cedar. Its full-bodied taste can be perfectly combined with roasts, dishes of game and spicy mature cheeses. - Gerardo [TS12/21]

"What a dense, dark fruit on the nose, fine spice and notes of dark chocolate add to the complexity. On the palate, juicy, elegant and with exceedingly fine-grained tannins, dense and sturdy." - Vinum Schweiz

"Dark luminous garnet with cherry red rim. Fine fruit of ripe plums, blackberry jelly, some mint and rock candy, in the background a slight wood spice. Shows up in a rich robe with grippy, well-integrated tannin, lots of substance and pithy structure, presses again on the palate in the finish and shows character, good potential." - Falstaff

Le Serre Nuove · Bolgheri DOC 2020

Made with the same passion and attention to detail as Ornellaia, Le Serre Nuove dell'Ornellaia is a worthy second wine. The composition of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot combines accessibility and considerable depth of flavor with proven aging potential.

"The intense ruby red Le Serre Nuove dell'Ornellaia 2020 unabashedly reveals a clear and generous aromatic expression, marked by notes of ripe red fruits. On the palate the wine is soft, round and enveloping, but at the same time full-bodied and rich, with a good balance between structure, fullness and elegance." - Olga Fusari (Kellermeisterin Ornellaia)

"Rich, almost impenetrable dark ruby with a shimmering core. Graceful nose with notes of black ribes, mocha, tobacco leaf and some mint. The palate is imposing and polished, elegant, very well integrated wood, fine-grained, firm tannins, with excellent structure and long finish with lots of dark fruit." - Falstaff

Didacus · Sicilia Menfi Rosso DOC 2017

"The back label of the two Didacus wines - the white from Chardonnay, the red from Cabernet Franc - reads: 'This bottle contains our vision of wine. Elegance and tradition. Family and future. Sicily as we have always dreamed of it.' Menfi and its vineyards between the sea and the hills, as a place of choice for growing French varieties - almost a Bolgheri of the South - is a vision that has accompanied the Planeta family since the mid-1980s." - Falstaff

"The 2017 Cabernet Franc Didacus is dark, deep and intense, with arching blue florals giving way to masses of currants, plums and licorice. It’s silky with a dense wave of mineral-tinged black fruits carried across a core of motivating acidity that lifts the expression nicely. This leaves tart wild berries, along with hints of mocha over a coating of sweet tannins, coming across as structured yet also remarkably fresh. The heat of the vintage has pushed the volume up on the 2017 Cabernet Franc Didacus and while more-classic vintages will likely outpace it in the cellar over time, the balance here is beautiful." - Vinous

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)

"Rich ruby with a delicate garnet rim. Very clear and precise nose, smells of ripe, plump cherries and blackberries, with delicate notes of chestnuts and blood oranges. Firm, hearty tannins characterize the palate, lots of juicy fruit, builds full-bodied." - 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)

"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

Ornellaia · Bolgheri Superiore DOC 2019

The desire to promote the exceptional quality of the winery has characterized the philosophy of Ornellaia from the beginning. Ornellaia is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc as well as Petit Verdot and the authentic expression of a unique terroir that has evolved in harmony with nature.

"The intense ruby red Ornellaia 2019 captivates with a seductive spicy bouquet, from which notes of black pepper, sage and herbs particularly stand out. 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 · Toscana IGT 2019

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)

It is then refined in the bottle before being released onto the market. - Gerardo [TS07/21]

Sassicaia · Bolgheri Sassicaia DOC 2018 (6er Holzkiste)

Six bottles of Bolgheri Sassicaia in a high quality original wooden box:

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]

Sassicaia · Bolgheri Sassicaia DOC 2019 (6er Holzkiste)

Six bottles of Bolgheri Sassicaia in a high quality original wooden box:

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]
