“Fragrant purple flower aromas, with red berry and vanilla lead the nose of this round, succulent wine. Notes of mocha, white pepper and aniseed accent the juicy black cherry core while chewy tannins provide the framework.” —Kerin O’Keefe, Wine Enthusiast Sept. 1, 2015

“Lots of violets and dark fruits on the nose. Complex and beautiful. Full body with spicy, peppery and rich fruit on the palate. Long and flavorful. The best Toscolo ever from here? Drink or hold.” James Suckling, Aug 2015

“This is real Tuscan wine at an excellent price. It’s fresh and bright with dried cherry and citrus fruit aromas and flavors. Long and vivid finish. Drink and enjoy. Screw cap.” -James Suckling, Aug. 5, 2015

“Very floral and beautiful with hints of dark fruit, blackcurrants and dried flowers such as violets. Full body, firm and silky tannins and a fresh and bright finish. Lots of dried citrus undertones. A little hard but very impressive. A standard-bearer for Super Tuscans. It’s a cabernet sauvignon and merlot blend. Better in 2017.” -James Suckling, Aug. 5, 2015

“Underbrush, leather, spice and savory herb aromas lead the nose. The smooth palate offers juicy dark cherry, mint, tobacco and licorice alongside firm, fine-grained tannins. Enjoy through 2018.” —Kerin O’Keefe, Wine Enthusiast Jul. 1, 2015

“Aromas of blue flower, spiced plum, ripe berry and leather take shape in the glass. The delicious palate delivers layers of crushed black cherry, licorice, clove and grilled herb alongside polished tannins and fresh acidity. It’s both structured and elegant. Drink through 2020.” —Kerin O’Keefe, Wine Enthusiast Jul. 1, 2015

“Gold-tinged straw. Aromas of apple, anise, minerals an almond jump from the glass. Bright, dense and juicy, offering an archetypal Verdicchio set of flavors (marzipan and orchard fruits) of sneaky concentration and creaminess. The finish is long and suave.” -Ian D’Agata, Vinous Jul 2015

“The best non-riserva Verdicchio from Bucci in memory. Almost Mosel Riseling-like in its freshness, with crisp green apple, white peach and almond notes. The Riserva can age 10+ years.” – Decanter, Jul. 2015

“This offers pretty aromas of perfumed dark berry, cake spice, leather, toast and a balsamic note. The full-bodied palate offers young red cherry, mint, oak, espresso and sage. Firm but velvety tannins and bright acidity provide the framework while a mocha note closes the finish.” —Kerin O’Keefe, Wine Enthusiast Jul. 1, 2015

“The 2011 Barolo Cannubi performs very nicely, but generally speaking I am not as impressed by wines made from this historic vineyard in the hot 2011 vintage. The wine delivers soft complexity and a subdued personality without the verve and bursting energy you get in cooler years. It expresses itself with simple, less nuanced vocabulary. ” -Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, Jun 1, 2015
