James Suckling
Aromas of currants and blueberries with vanilla and cream. Full body enveloped in round and creamy tannins. Rich and powerful.
-
Wine Spectator
Bright cherry, cedar, herb, black pepper and leather flavors mark this concentrated, lush red. Remains rich and monolithic on the long finish. Should find a better balance in a few years. Sangiovese. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Best from 2017 through 2023.

Wine Enthusiast
You'll find aromas of mature dark-skinned fruit, cooking spice, tobacco, licorice and a whiff of mocha on this blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot. The delineated palate offers ripe and dried black currants, ground pepper and dark chocolate alongside silky tannins that give it a polished texture.

"One of the big developments is the release of two vintages of a new wine from Tenuta di Biserno. Biserno is the new family-owned winery of brothers Piero and Lodovico Antinori, located just outside the appellation of Bolgheri…
I find the style of the property's wines already to be a fascinating combination of Ornellaia's and Sassicaia's, emphasizing the generosity of the former and the firmness and backbone of the latter."

Legendary in Italy for its Renaissance art and striking landscape, Tuscany is also home to many of the country’s best red wines. Sangiovese reigns supreme here, as either the single varietal, or a dominant player, in almost all of Tuscany’s best.
A remarkable Chianti, named for its region of origin, will have a bright acidity, supple tannins and plenty of cherry fruit character. From the hills and valleys surrounding the medieval village of Montalcino, come the distinguished and age-worthy wines based on Brunello (Sangiovese). Earning global acclaim since the 1970s, the Tuscan Blends are composed solely of international grape varieties or a mix of international and Sangiovese. The wine called Vine Nobile di Montepulciano, composed of Prognolo Gentile (Sangiovese) and is recognized both for finesse and power.
