| Bucci | Bucci Classico” Verdicchio Classico dei Castelli di Jesi DOC Classico Superiore | 2021 | Wine Enthusiast | 01/04/2023 | 90 | ||||||
VerbiageSubtle at first, this wine begins to reveal itself after a few minutes in the glass. This Verdicchio transports you to the green hills of the Marche, offering aromas of wild herbs, ripe orchard fruit and apple blossom. The palate is mineral driven, with fruit and savory flavors providing support. It finishes with bright and refreshing acidity, making this a great wine to go with sushi and/or crudo |

| Supremus | Supremus Toscana IGT | 2017 | Wine Enthusiast | 01/04/2023 | 93 | ||||||
VerbiageSavory, sweet and perfumed, the nose on this wine gives dark chocolate, dried figs and old leather. Juicy and berry rich, the palate conveys strawberries, cherries, more figs and more chocolate. Tannins make themselves felt and an acid kick is here, for a wine that’s lush but not spineless. – Danielle Callegari |

VerbiageA slightly austere red, with a core of pure cherry buried within a dense texture and a tannic structure. Though tightly wound, this shows concentrated fruit, along with iron, tobacco, tar and eucalyptus flavors. Best from 2027 through 2049. |

| Poderi Einaudi | Barolo Ludo DOCG | 2019 | Wine Spectator | 31/03/2023 | 93 | ||||||
VerbiageBright and well- delineated, exuding cherry, strawberry, rose and earth flavors. Turns firm and tightly wound from mid-palate through the finish, showing the austerity of the vintage. There’s plenty here, but this just needs time. Best from 2026 through 2045. |

| Dal Cero in Valpolicella | Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG | 2017 | James Suckling | 17/03/2023 | 93 | ||||||
VerbiageA pleasant Amarone with aromas and flavors of prunes and vanilla custard. Notes of coffee and chocolate, too. Full-bodied, but with a less weighty feel than some. The lightly chewy tannins break up the flow a little, suggesting that this still needs a bit of time to even out. Try from 2025. |
