Tuscany
Tuscany, a picturesque region in central Italy, is renowned for producing some of the world's finest wines. With its rolling hills, Mediterranean climate, and rich cultural heritage, Tuscany offers a perfect combination of terroir and winemaking expertise. The region is home to legendary vineyards and wineries that have become synonymous with excellence and tradition.
One of the most famous vineyards in Tuscany is Antinori, a family-owned winery with a history dating back over 600 years. Their wines, such as Tignanello and Solaia, have achieved iconic status, showcasing the region's commitment to quality and innovation. Another renowned vineyard is Castello di Volpaia, known for its exceptional Chianti Classico wines that beautifully represent the Sangiovese grape.
Tuscany is synonymous with Chianti, a red wine made primarily from Sangiovese grapes. Chianti Classico, produced in the heart of the Chianti region, is highly regarded for its balance, elegance, and age-worthiness. Vineyards like Castello di Ama, Fontodi, and Fèlsina craft outstanding Chianti Classico wines that capture the essence of Tuscan winemaking.
The region is also famous for Brunello di Montalcino, a prestigious red wine made from Sangiovese Grosso grapes. Montalcino is home to renowned wineries such as Biondi-Santi and Casanova di Neri, which produce exceptional Brunello di Montalcino wines with remarkable structure, depth, and longevity.
Tuscany's coastal region, Bolgheri, has gained international acclaim for its Super Tuscan wines. These wines often blend international grape varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot with local varieties. Notable vineyards in Bolgheri include Tenuta San Guido, known for its iconic Sassicaia, and Ornellaia, which produces the renowned Ornellaia wine.
Tuscany's diverse terroir also allows for the production of white wines, with Vernaccia di San Gimignano being the most notable. Vernaccia vineyards like Teruzzi & Puthod and Panizzi create crisp and aromatic white wines that showcase the region's versatility.

Vinous (92)The 2004 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Vignaferrovia, a new bottling, is sweet, rich and layered in its fruit. This is a decidedly firm Brunello in need of a few years in the cellar to soften the firm yet refined tannins. Red raspberries, flowers and sweet spices are some of the nuances that emerge on the round, creamy finish. There is quite a bit of volume and richness, due in part to the greater use of French barrels, but the oak has also left the Riserva with some slightly oxidative qualities and less overall freshness than is typically the case here. |

Dark red cherry, plum, mocha, tobacco, iron, grilled herbs, raisin and soy are laced into an expressive finish laced with distinctly wild, ferrous notes. The 2009 is quite brooding in style, but it also shows good freshness for the year and outstanding overall balance. |

Vinous (92)The 2010 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Vigna Ferrovia is deep, dense and quite attractive. A host of intense savory, ferrous notes hit the palate first, followed by dark red cherry, plum, smoke, leather and licorice. The Riserva is powerful and imposing, with big tannins from the super-extracted fermentation, but it also has plenty of personality. The Riserva will be even better in a few years, once the tannins have softened further. |

Vinous (94)Bright, deep red. Musky aromas and flavors of raspberry, red cherry, licorice, herbs and mocha. Silky-sweet and deep, with terrific herbal and sweet spice lift contributing to the wine's superb inner-mouth tension and focus. Finishes with firm acid and tannic spine for long aging but doesn’t taste hard at all. The wine's fruit and perfume expand nicely on the long aftertaste. A serious Brunello that will reward cellaring, though it’s very enjoyable right out of the gate. |

Vinous (87)The 2015 Pian delle Vigne Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Vignaferrovia from Antinori is a dark, rich and large-scaled effort. Ripe plum and black cherry fruits are somewhat overwhelmed by notes of mocha, tobacco and buttercream. It’s soft and silky in the mouth, showing sweet inner herbal tones, licorice and dark chocolate. While balanced and structured, this is simply too confectionary, focused on ripeness and wood influence over fruit. |

Vinous (90)The 2020 Rosso di Montalcino is dark yet perfumed, with lavender and violet tones giving way to masses of ripe plum and cherry. Balsam herbs and hints of chalk develop with time in the glass, adding further depths. This is silky and round, with juicy acidity enlivening its ripe red and hints of blue fruit. Sweet spices, hints of cocoa and licorice linger, as the 2020 tapers off long with just a hint of fine tannin. This showboat of a Rosso is going to win a lot of hearts. |

The Argentiera Bellamarsilia Morellino di Scansano 2018 is a quintessential representation of Italian winemaking excellence. Crafted by the esteemed Argentiera Winery in the Tuscany wine region, this exceptional red utilises predominantly Sangiovese grapes, blended with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. The fermentation process takes place in lined concrete vats, allowing for softer, more refined tannins. Upon tasting, you'll find sensuous layers of red berry fruit, tobacco, and spice, underscored by a delicate, lingering acidity. Through careful maturation in new French oak barrels, the Argentiera Bellamarsilia Morellino di Scansano 2018 attains an unparalleled balance of fruit and wood. The Argentiera estate is notably the highest and closest to the sea in the Bolgheri amphitheatre, which bestows a remarkable salinity to the wine. This Morellino di Scansano is a true testament to Argentiera's commitment to producing wines of impeccable quality and character. |

Jeb Dunnuck (90)A bright red color, the 2022 Bellamarsilia is 100% Sangiovese raised in stainless steel. It’s fresh on the nose, with notes of bright red cherry, saline, fresh orange, and red flowers. On the palate, it’s refreshing and medium-bodied, with fine tannins, a clean feel, refreshing acidity, and a clean finish. A very charming wine from the only appellation of Sangiovese in Tuscany that touches the sea, it has a refreshing salty nature and is perfect for pastas or pizza night. Drink over the next couple years. |

Wine Advocate (95+)This is a terrific wine and one of the new releases from Montalcino that I happily include on a short list of top recommendations. The Argiano 2015 Brunello di Montalcino shows a very lively bouquet that is already singing despite the young age of this new release. The wine opens to a dark ruby color with garnet highlights. The bouquet shows a large span of wild berry, earth, licorice spice and medicinal herb aromas. This vintage also reveals a pretty floral character with dried rose potpourri and lavender buds. After fermentation, the wine is aged slowly for 30 months in large oak botte (including 10-, 30- and 50-hectoliter capacity), thus restricting oxygen and gently slowing its evolution. However, the 2015 vintage is naturally expressive and exuberant, and that's the main takeaway here. |
