96 points James Suckling: "Cool and perfumed 2016 Brunello with black cherries, flowers and crushed stones. Medium to full body with firm, chewy tannins, yet polished and very silky. Mineral and seaweed undertones. Just a hint of bitterness. " (11/2020) 95 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "This wine represents a selection of fruit from vineyards near the property's postcard-perfect Castello, and it's often the most representative of the new releases presented each year by Castello Banfi. From a classic and balanced vintage, the 2016 Brunello di Mo...
94 points James Suckling: "A full-bodied, juicy red with black-cherry, walnut and nutmeg aromas. There's a distinct roasted-beetroot and currant character to this, too. Very juicy on the palate with ripe tannins. Some bitter berries on the finish. Drink after 2024." (10/2020) 93 points Vinous: "The 2016 Brunello di Montalcino from Ferrero is earthy and packed full of ripe berries and woodland herbs in a slightly rustic yet wildly appealing way. The textures are silky and refined, ushering in a mix of savory cherry sauce and hints of cranberry offset by...
93 points James Suckling: "Notes of blueberries, blackberries, porcini and nutmeg. Itβs full-bodied with fine tannins. Balanced with a fleshy texture. Round and velvety. Long, flavorful finish. Fine and fresh at the end. Drink or hold." (08/2021) 93 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "A blend of mostly Sangiovese with smaller parts Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and a touch of Alicante Bouschet, the Fattoria la Massa 2018 La Massa is a textured and softly pliable wine that shows gorgeous color saturation and a panoramic bouquet with black fruit, dried c...
Vinous: "The 2018 Chianti Classico Cavaliere d'Oro is a soft, fleshy wine to drink now and over the next handful of years. Dried cherry, cedar, tobacco and mint give this open-knit Chianti Classico a good bit of immediacy. The 2018 is not hugely complex, but it will drink well right out of the gate. (AG)" (09/2021)
The 2018 Il Valentiano Rosso di Montalcino aged for 12 months in French oak, and due to a pleasantly warm vintage, is showing a lively aromatic freshness. This baby Brunello is made with 100% organically grown Sangiovese Grosso, handpicked from vines planted in the 1960s, in the hills just south of Montalcino. Founded by Dino Ciacci in 1925, Campaperi, a Tuscan term for a field of pear trees, is named for the wild pear trees that line the edges of the estateβs vineyard. Dinoβs grandson, Fabbiano Ciacci, makes the wine and his wife, Valentina, is the cel...

97 points Decanter: "Ettore Spina and Enrica Bandirola purchased the Sesta di Sopra estate as a holiday home in the late 1980s. After restoring the farmhouse, they replanted a total of 2.8 hectares of vines and produced their first wine from the 1999 vintage. The 2016 leads with captivating aromas of dry earth, tea, violet and lavender, and the palate is equally compelling. Battonage of the lees during ageing gives a rather sumptuous palate with perceptively talc-like dusty tannins sitting underneath the fruit. Iron and stone impart complexity to this se...
James Suckling: "Slightly earthy with spice and cherry character throughout. Balsamic note, too. Itβs medium-bodied with a juicy finish. I like the funky, savory nature to this. " (08/2020) Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "With a fun, sweet note on the close, the Castelli Martinozzi 2018 Rosso di Montalcino shows bright cherry and plum that appear with vivid intensity. The Rosso category of Sangiovese from Montalcino is almost always a great value wine to pair with simple home-cooked meals of pasta or the family meatloaf recipe, and this release of 25,0...
95 points James Suckling: "Blackberry and blueberry aromas with hints of cedar and sandalwood. Itβs medium-to full-bodied with firm, very fine tannins and a bright, fresh finish. A little tight and reserved, but pretty and precise. " (10/2020) 93 points Wine Enthusiast: "Wild berry, crushed herb, new leather and truffle aromas emerge from the glass. The juicy, savory palate offers red cherry, crushed raspberry, licorice and a hint of grilled porcini framed in taut, polished tannins. Tangy acidity keeps it bright. *Editors' Choice* (KO) " (03/2021)
92 points Vinous: "The 2018 Rosso di Montalcino makes itself known with a captivating and layered display of sour cherries and animal musk deepening further with crushed dried roses, minty herbs and a dusting of savory spice. Itβs silky and pliant, yet energy remains high throughout. The 2018 Rosso showcases a vivid and pure display of wild strawberry with sweet tannins building toward the close. This is lifted and feminine in feel, tapering off classically dry and poised with tactile mineral tones and a hint of licorice lingering long. The 2018 is a har...

96 points James Suckling: "Plenty of complexity to this, with cherry, plum, blackberry and hints of cedar and stone. Full-bodied with layered, velvety tannins and a flavorful finish. Punctuated and defined for the 2017 vintage." (10/2021) 95 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The Fuligni 2017 Brunello di Montalcino is a beautiful wine, and it shines a much-deserved spotlight on one of the most consistent estates in Montalcino. It is bright and luminous with a dark ruby shine. The bouquet reveals deeply layered tones of red cherry, wild berry, rose,...
94 points James Suckling: " This is a very solid, full-bodied riserva with firm and chewy yet fine-grained tannins that are nicely layered and intense. Very drinkable now, but a year or two of bottle age will soften it. " (07/2021) 93 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "Sporting broad shoulders and a brawny texture, the 2018 Chianti Classico Riserva Berardenga is one of those wines that you can drink throughout the entire meal from antipasto, to pasta to the meat dish. This Riserva offers dark fruit, ripe cherry, plum and soft concentration througho...
94 points Wine Enthusiast: "Blue-flower, ripe black-plum and baking-spice aromas are front and center along with a whiff of crushed herb. Smooth and full bodied, the savory palate shows juicy black cherry, ripe blackberry and licorice alongside lithe, fine-grained tannins. It's balanced, with bright acidity. (KO)" (04/2020) 91 points Decanter: "Lunadoro's main vineyards are situated at an average altitude of 332 metres in the breezy zone of Valiano. Made exclusively with Sangiovese, Pagliareto spends the first 12 months in French oak tonneaux followed ...
Fermented and matured in stainless steel, this is a great weeknight sipper while Sesta di Sopra's Brunello comes of age. Save the Rosso di Montalcino for the weekend!

91 points Vinous: "Thereβs something dark, animalistic and wild about the 2018 Rosso Montecucco. Itβs an intense and energetic expression, yet powerful, showing crushed blackberries and wild herbs spiked with a twang of sour citrus. The textures are silky and pliant with masses of ripe fruits and wild berries offset by penetrating minerals and brisk acids. This tapers off long and lightly structured. A total success for the vintage. (EG)" (12/2021)

94 points James Suckling: "Lots of walnuts and smoke on the nose here, on top of strong, earthy character. Some leather. Raw mushrooms and raw walnuts. Itβs full-bodied with sleek tannins. Quite a fresh finish. Linear and firm at the end. Drink after 2024." (10/2020) 92 points Vinous: "The 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Campo di Marzo is dark, earthy and a bit rustic, but in the best possible way. Mineral-laced black cherries, exotic brown spice and hints of tobacco create a moody yet alluring display. The textures are silky-smooth, giving way to fleshy r...
97 points Vinous: "The 2018 Chianti Classico Riserva Rancia is an absolutely stunning wine. The archetype of Rancia in the past has been of a big, potent Chianti Classico but in 2018, Rancia is a wine of mind-blowing elegance and finesse. Silky, perfumed and indescribably finessed, the 2018 dazzles from start to finish. It's a magical wine in every way. (AG)" (09/2021) 95 points James Suckling: "This is really subtle and complex with cherry, herb, floral and sage aromas that follow through to a full body with firm, fine tannins that give form and energ...
99 points James Suckling: "The complexity and beauty of this wine is something else on the nose, offering perfume, cedar, dried flower, black cherry, blueberry and crushed stone. Orange peel, too. Full-bodied with incredible layers of ultra-fine tannins that give this wine horizontal depth that almost seems endless. Extremely long and lightly chewy at the end. This is one for the cellar." (10/2021) 98 points Decanter: "Fuligniβs Riserva is born in the San Giovanni vineyard at Podere Cottimelli, the estateβs original site. It is a selection of the best ...
This Chianti is 95% Sangiovese and comes from the La Tancia estate, which was originally built in the 14th century during the reign of the Medicis. The property is now owned by winemaker Domenico Silla. Winery tasting notes: "An intense and deep ruby red color with floral notes of violets and iris combined with a typical character of red fruits. It has a harmonious, dry and savory flavor."

Sesta di Sopra is a family-run winery located in the south of Montalcino. They farm 44 hectares of Sangiovese Grosso.

96 points James Suckling: "Lots of ripe cherry with floral and citrus-rind undertones. Full-bodied with creamy tannins and a pretty finish of delicious berries and hints of sandalwood. Subtle and complex. Needs time to soften, but already a beauty. Pristine." (08/2020) 95 points Vinous: "The 2017 Carla 6, La Massa's 100% Sangiovese, is fleshy, succulent and incredibly inviting. Sweet red cherry, kirsch, mint, blood orange and spice give the 2017 its racy feel. There is plenty of Sangiovese character, and yet at the same time, proprietor Giampaolo Motta...
The Innocentis farm seven hectares in Citille di Sotto, part of the Brunello di Montalcino appellation. "Lume" is a lighter-bodied 100% Sangiovese to enjoy while their Brunellos come of age.
95 points James Suckling: "A tight, fresh Fontalloro with dark cherry, chocolate and toasted oak. Some walnut, too. Itβs full-bodied, yet polished and structured. Sort of shy. But this will develop really nicely with some bottle age." (07/2021) 95 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "To my palate, the 2018 vintage sometimes feels a little too ripe or baked. I was reminded of those characteristics when tasting the Fèlsina 2018 Fontalloro. There is plenty of dark fruit at its core, but this wine also reveals dry tones of jarred oregano, grilled Mediter...
99 points Decanter: "The Fuligni family moved from Maremma to Montalcino early in the 20th century, establishing the estate in 1923. Maria Flora has been at the helm since 1971, with her nephew Roberto managing most of the operations today. This historic property has released one of the most exquisite wines of 2016. Revealing its complexities gradually, it unfolds with a smoky flintiness, balsamic nuances and Mediterranean herbs. Seemingly endless in layers and depth, there is generosity but it never weighs the palate down. Powerful, sophisticated tannin...
100 points Vinous: "The 2018 Flaccianello della Pieve is another stellar wine from Fontodi. It is the richest Flaccianello ever made (in terms of dry extract), with elevated acidity that trails the 2016 by just a touch, but it does not taste like that at all. Dark cherry, violet, lavender, spice, mocha and graphite build with a bit of time in the glass. Like the Sorbo, the 2018 Flaccianello is not a wine of size, as in most previous years, but rather a wine that exudes vibrancy, energy and class from start to finish. I absolutely loved it. (AG)" (11/2021...
96 points James Suckling: "An wonderful amount of opulence and richness with form and structure. Aromas of plums, cherries, meat, earth and walnuts, as well as bark. Itβs full-bodied with chewy tannins and layers of super fine tannins. Goes on for minutes." (11/2020)
Price: $49.99
Aged two years in oak, half of which is aged in cask and the other half in neutral oak. A finessed example of Chianti Classico for near term drinking while waiting for the Vigna del Sorbo to come around.
Price: $39.99
95 points Wine Spectator: "This red is saturated with blackberry, black currant, violet, iron and spice flavors. Powerful tannins lend support and this finishes with lingering fruit and rustic tannins, with terrific length. (BS)" (06/2021)

This has been the #1 selling Italian wine for more than two decades at K&L! You can't get that kind of continued success without a supremely fantastic quality-to-price ratio. The southern Tuscan coast is a wonderful location for winemaking, with stable temperatures and a solid history of quality, yet no fame and fortune. Incredibly priced bargains come out of the region, and the proof is in the bottle. This wine is wonderful, soft, forward and easy-to-drink Sangiovese with an enticing mixture of cherry, plum and earth. Eminently drinkable.

Monica Larner writes: "I have always admired the work underway at Fuligni. Maria Fuligni and nephew Roberto Guerrini Fuligni deliver consistent results throughout the good years (2001, 2004, 2006 and 2007) as well as the more challenging ones (2003, 2005 and 2008). The secret to this success, in my view, is twofold. First and foremost is the familyβs intimate knowledge of their vineyards. There are four sites (Vigna S. Giovanni, Vigna del Ginestreto, Vigna della Bandita and Vigna del Piano) that comprehensively offer a plethora of soil types, exposures, ...

91 points Wine Enthusiast: "Aromas of forest floor, oak-driven spice, crushed aromatic herb and blue flower slowly appear in the glass. On the rounded, full-bodied palate, taut, fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity accompany juicy black cherry, coffee bean and licorice. (KO)" (05/2021) 90 points Vinous: "The 2016 Albatreti Brunello di Montalcino lifts up with a mentholated display of musky wild berries, sage, mint and a hint of brown spice that comes forward over time. It opens up with soft textures, contrasted by tart red and black fruits and nervou...

97 points Vinous: "The 2017 Flaccianello della Pieve is fabulous. Dark, sensual and enveloping, the 2017 captures the essence of the house style in its textural richness and baritone inflections. Black cherry, plum, spice, new leather, licorice and chocolate infuse the 2017 with tremendous richness. The 2017 spent 18 months in barrique followed by 6 months in cask, the same aging regime as the Vigna del Sorbo, but with a bit more new oak. That approach worked very well, as the Flaccianello stands out for its exceptional textural elegance and finesse. It ...
98 points James Suckling: "Attractive aromas of balsamic, tea, dark berry, walnut and coffee bean. Full-bodied, yet tight and very intense with ripe tannins that are fine and reserved. Racy and polished. Beautiful length to this wine. (JS)" (10/2020) 96 points Vinous: "The 2016 Brunello di Montalcino is one of those young wines that, from the moment you put your nose to the glass, you know youβre in for a treat. A sweetly alluring and remarkably fresh bouquet of crushed cherries, strawberries and plums is further complicated by hints of clove, spiced o...
93 points James Suckling: "Beautiful depth to this Chianti Classico with cherry, wet earth and mushroom aromas and flavors. Full-bodied, tight and lightly chewy with firmness and focus." (07/2019) 90 points Vinous: "The 2016 Chianti Classico Riserva is laced with dark cherry, plum, chocolate, new leather, licorice and mint. A dollop of Merlot adds mid-palate juiciness and pliancy, along with soft contours that make the wine a real pleasure to taste and drink, even in the early going. This forward, succulent Riserva certainly has plenty to offer. (AG)" ...

97 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "I prefer this wine to Fèlsina's top-shelf Fontalloro. The 2018 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Colonia is irresistibly angular and tight, opening a profound view onto what makes Sangiovese so expressive and unique, especially when planted in the right territories. The bouquet is savory and almost sanguine with iron ore, rusty nail and baked clay. But there's plenty of fruit as well, in the form of wild berry and black cherry, that adds to the dimension and dynamic freshness of the mouthfeel. The 2018 vintage saw ...
95 points James Suckling: "Complex aromas of sweet berries, tobacco and mushrooms with some floral undertones. Full-bodied with very tight, polished tannins and cedar, mahogany and dark fruit on the finish. Lots of transparent fruit at the end. From organically grown grapes. (JS)" (08/2021) 92 points Vinous: "The 2018 Chianti Classico Filetta di Lamole is pliant and super-expressive. In this vintage, the Lamole has a touch more textural richness than in the past, which is quite inviting. Dark cherry, plum, spice and lavender build into silky, perfumed ...

92 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The organic San Giusto a Rentennano 2019 Chianti Classico is another excellent buy from a tight group of iconic Tuscan wine estates. This vintage, made with 95% Sangiovese and 5% Canaiolo, is pure and tonic in character. There are clearly etched aromas of blueberry, wild cherry, limestone and crushed stone. These are essential aromas to any traditional expression of Chianti Classico, and this wine delivers them with terrific simplicity and balance. Fruit is sourced from across a 30-hectare vineyard with south-fac...

97 points James Suckling: "Lots of richness and depth to this with superb aromas and flavors. High intensity. Notes of clove, sandalwood and cedar mingle with walnuts and dried violets. Crushed gravel, too. This has juicy black cherries, vanilla and more cloves on the palate. Full body and firm yet refined tannins. Drink from 2023." (11/2020) 96 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The Sesta di Sopra 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva shows medium concentration and an elegant, vinous appearance. The wine is beautifully generous and rich but not in a...
97 points Wine Spectator: "Aromas of juniper, rosemary, thyme and Szechuan peppercorn segue to strawberry, cherry and rose hip flavors in this elegant red. Intense and balanced, with the structure to develop over the next two decades. Shows excellent depth and length. *Collectible* (BS)" (06/2019) 94 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "Compared to 2014, the 2013 vintage was a breeze from a farming and winemaking point of view. A relatively stress free growing season tends to transmit more clarity and intensity to the finished product. That's the imp...
The 2019 vintage in Montalcino is another exceptional, 5-star vintage. This wine will give you a preview on the Brunellos that will be here in a couple of years β it's classic Sangiovese from Montalcino. Only a bit less fruit-forward than some of our other 2019 selections, this has a more soil-driven, Tuscan brush and Middle Eastern spice profile. Itβs truly exceptional.

94 points Vinous: "With the first tilt of the glass, you know that this is not your average 2017 Brunello di Montalcino. An enthralling bouquet of spiced citrus peels, roses, sour cherries, crushed rocks and animal musk keeps you at the edge of your seat. This is remarkably pure and delicate, seeming to hover across the palate, yet delivering a vivid mix of ripe wild berries, salty minerals and purple-tinged florals. Beneath, saturated tannins build, yet the expression remains fresh β almost mouthwatering, in fact β as sweet hints of plum and tobacco slo...
97 points Vinous: "The 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Nello is darkly alluring and balsamic, with masses of fresh tobacco leaves and underbrush giving way to plums and exotic savory spices. This displays the dark fruits and radiance of the vintage, coming across as cool-toned and poised, yet also densely packed, like a bomb waiting to explode. The red and black berry notes are deeply penetrating and tinged with the saltiest of minerals, as hints of tangerine stimulate under an air of lavender and purple-tinged florals. With so much going on and such...
