News & Awards
Avvoltore 2013
95 Points
"The 2013 Avvoltore is one of the best recent editions of this wine I can remember tasting. A dark. virile wine, the 2016 is endowedm with vertical structure and huge tannins to back up thye fruit. Smoke, tar, licorice, dark spice and gravel infuse a core of blue and black fruit. The 2013 clearly needs time, but it is also superb, even at this early stage."
-- Antonio Galloni
Morellino di Scansano 2016
92 Points
"The 2016 Morellino di Scansano is fabulous. A huge overachiever, the 2016 possesses notable intensity and volume, with generaous dark fruit to match its opulent, generous personality. Although quite deep and intense, the 2016 retains striking freshness. Aging in cement really seems to bring out the fruit character. Don't miss it."
-- Antonio Galloni
