James Suckling

Reviewed July 2025
An intense wine with vibrancy and style. On the nose it shows bright cassis, bramble fruit, eucalyptus, balsamic, graphite, minerals and hints of leather and tobacco. Soft palate with silky, velvety tannins, crisp acidity and a long, chewy, savory finish. The first vintage with 10% cabernet franc. Drink or hold. (AF)

Refined and poised, Piastraia is always a pleasure to taste. A dense, ripe core of salted plum and spices with a slightly creamy undertone are surrounded by layers of energetic red and black berries and floral lift. Structural elements give shape without standing in the way, and some woody notes suggest it needs a bit more time to fully harmonise. A solid buy. (JB)

Boasting a bright red color, the 2022 Piestraia is lifted and herbaceous, with notes of medicinal herbs, redcurrants, tobacco leaves, and dried earth. The palate is focused and fresh, with good ripeness to balance it out and a weightless feel. It has finely coiled tannins, refreshing, ripe acidity, and a very elegant and graceful mineral finish. This highly appealing wine should age gracefully and improve over the coming 15 or more years. (AF)

Savory notes of cedar, wild herbs and tobacco mingle with plum, blackberry and black currant. This dense red is sleek, and the long finish is driven by vivid acidity. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sangiovese and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2027 through 2040. (BS)

Notes

The 2022 is the first Piastraia to include Cabernet Franc, joining Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Sangiovese in this Bolgheri Superiore. The estate introduced the Superiore designation with the 2012 vintage. Its blend has continued to evolve: Syrah left in 2019, while Sangiovese remained through 2022 before being removed the following year. Vinous's review of this vintage emphasizes floral and herbal aromas within a medium-bodied frame. The Jeb Dunnuck review draws attention to tightly organized tannins and refreshing acidity, with redcurrant, tobacco and earthy detail on a palate it describes as focused and fresh.
