Wonderfully fresh from the first tilt of the glass, the 2020 Ghiaie della Furba opens with a blend of minty herbs, spiced orange peels and sour cherries. It’s silky and refined with a saturating core of red primary fruits. Hints of sour citrus and tactile mineral tones form toward the close. Edgy tannins tug at the senses as this tapers off long and staining, leaving a pleasant bitter sensation, nuances of cedary spice and a tart cranberry crunchiness. The 2020 is powerful and impossibly young at the moment. Five to six years of cellaring are highly recommended.In Bond€385.00 -

The 2023 Trebbiano Capezzana is youthfully coy, mixing hints of ginger with wildflowers and lime. It's round and supple with a whiplash of zesty acidity and a saline flourish offsetting nearly oily textures and depths of ripe nectarine. It finishes tense and incredibly long, tapering off with a cheek-puckering lemony concentration. The 2023 is painfully young today but full of potential.In Bond€209.00 -
(6x37.5cl) 2016
The Capezzana Vin Santo di Carmignano 2016 exemplifies the rich heritage of the Carmignano region in Tuscany. Crafted by the esteemed Capezzana family, this Vin Santo is made from meticulously selected Trebbiano and Malvasia grapes, harvested under optimal ripeness. Following traditional methods, the grapes undergo a lengthy drying process on straw mats, concentrating their flavours before gentle pressing. Fermentation occurs in small, temperature-controlled barrels, enhancing the wine’s complexity and depth. Aged for over five years in seasoned oak casks, the 2016 vintage reveals a harmonious balance of dried apricots, honeyed almonds, and subtle spices, underpinned by a vibrant acidity. The amber hue invites the nose to explore its layered aromatic profile, while the persistent finish delights the palate with elegance and finesse. Perfect as a contemplative aperitif or paired with classic Tuscan desserts, Capezzana Vin Santo di Carmignano 2016 is a distinguished addition to any fine wine collection.

Caprili's 2008 Brunello di Montalcino is endowed with serious depth. Juicy and expressive, the 2008 offers up plums, black cherries, tobacco, smoke and licorice nuances. The balance of fruit, tannin and acidity is simply terrific. I imagine the 2008 will be even better in another year or two, but it is already pretty delicious.In Bond€353.00 -

This is a very decadent Brunello with dried stems, charcuterie, bay leaf, Thai basil and earth. Full-bodied and dense, the deeply interlocked layers of dark fruit nearly tripping over the ropey, chewy tannin structure. Drink from 2026.In Bond€224.00 -

Classic Sangiovese aromas of wild berry, forest floor, rose and new leather waft out of the glass along with whiffs of camphor. Delicious and smooth, the elegantly structured palate features ripe wild cherry, blood orange and licorice alongside polished tannins. It's well balanced, with fresh acidity—what a fantastic showing. It's already accessible but will age well for years to come.In Bond€281.00 -
Kerin O'Keefe (96)
All about finesse and flavor, this stunner opens with quintessential aromas of classically crafted Brunello including violet, perfumed berry, new leather and forest floor that mingle with eucalyptus notes. It dances across the palate, offering juicy red cherry, orange zest, star anise and saline before a white almond close. Lithe tannins and fresh acidity keep it elegant and bright. Delicious and already approachable, it will age well for another decade or more.In Bond€207.00 -
Wine Spectator (96)
This red is all about finesse, delivering superb balance and complexity, with cherry, raspberry, earth and wild herb aromas and flavors. Succulent and charming, yet with a solid base of tannins and vivid acidity, this remains focused through the long aftertaste. Best from 2026 through 2042. 4,575 cases made, 3,000 cases imported.In Bond€185.00 -

The 2022 Il Guercio is laced with hints of wild cherry, kirsch, dried flowers, mint and white pepper. High-toned aromatics remind me of Gianfranco Soldera's Brunellos. This ethereal, gracious pure Sangiovese needs time in bottle to come together. It is undeniably attractive.In Bond€379.00 -

The outstanding 2010 Brunello di Montalcino gives you everything you want to see in a great wine, a great Tuscan wine.

Luminous deep red. Captivating aromas of sweet red berries, cinnamon, violet and licorice. Then also very fruity in the mouth; refined, juicy red plum and raspberry flavors linger brightly on the fresh back end. Has a delightful red fruit cocktail quality that makes it practically impossible to put the glass back down. And though it is simply bursting at the seams with early appeal, this truly lovely Brunello will also age well. Unless my memory fails me, this may well be the best entry-level wine from Casanova di Neri that I have ever tasted.In Bond€402.00 -

The Casanova di Neri 2016 Brunello di Montalcino (or the so-called "white label" Brunello) takes a minute or two to open, and like all these new releases from the Neri family, you're best off opening your bottle five hours before serving them. This classic expression displays raspberry, tar, hazelnut, dried fig, asphalt and some crushed chalk. The wine is streamlined and compact in terms of mouthfeel, giving us an accessible Brunello from a benchmark Montalcino estate.In Bond€142.00 -
