“The First True Super Tuscan” Our sommelier buddies in Manhattan had prepped us at length on Tenuta di Capezzana’s storied Carmignano, “the first true Super Tuscan.” We knew thatCabernet Sauvignon was first planted in the tiny appellation of Carmignan almost 500 years ago; that it was probably Catherine de Medici, Queen of France, who had…
Wine Advocate: “This Is My Kind of Brunello” Upper-echelon Brunello di Montalcino is one of the things we get most excited about here at Wine Access.

The Pinnacle of Super Tuscan Stardom Bibi Graetz has catapulted himself to the pinnacle of Super Tuscan stardom. “I continue to be impressed with the beautiful wines of Bibi Graetz,” raves Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, further adding they are “singular, expressive wines that merit serious consideration.” James Suckling, Wine Spectator’s former European Bureau Chief, has…

In an era when sub-$50 Brunellos are a rarity, Caparzo delivers practically unheard-of quality for under $30. The 2013 Caparzo earned a glowing 93 points from James Suckling, as well as…

The 95-point 2013 Castello di Verrazzano Chianti Classico “Sassello” is one of a handful of new Chianti’s worthy of Italy’s best upgrade ever: it bears the prestigious “Gran…
Brunello As Art Showing dried roses and violet, wild strawberries and sour cherry, as well as tobacco leaf, cigar box, lively acidity and rich tannins, Castello Romitorio is a textbook example of Brunello elegance—one that normally comes with a price tag that pushes triple digits. Today is your chance to claim it for a fraction…
A 98-Point “Dazzling Red” The palazzo anchoring the Ciacci Piccolomini property was built back in 1672 by the Bishop of Montalcino. Now, nearly 350 years later, the estate remains one of the most awarded in all of Tuscany, responsible for perennially high-scoring wines that collectors clamor for and that have found places of pride on…
A Modern Classic Michelangelo’s David, Ferrari, Armani—some things are simply Italian classics. The 2013 release of La Rasina’s signature Brunello di Montalcino is right in the same pocket, cut of a classic, and deserves to be paired with the best Bolognese you’ve ever made. Adorned with a 96-point rating from Wine Spectator’s former European Bureau…
We sifted through all 8,500+ acres in Montalcino to find today’s 2013 Le Ragnaie Brunello di Montalcino—the 95-point “linear and bright” classic that demands space in your cellar. Beautifully restrained, Le Ragnaie emits aromas of black cherry, crushed blackberry, and espresso, tinged with dark chocolate, which lead to a core infused with dark raspberry, plum,…
“I’ve been waiting to open this,” one of our most trusted friends said as she swirled the dark liquid in her oversized Riedel stem. “What do you think?” Aromas of flowers, dark cherries, and stewed plums filled the air, and all conversation came to a screeching halt once we began to taste: This was a…
Plush yet beautifully refined, the 2013 Pertimali Brunello di Montalcino is an otherworldly release from the Sassetti clan that illustrates why Robert Parker once declared: “If I had only one Brunello to drink, it would be Pertimali.” At 98 points, James Suckling had this bottle tied with Valdicava ($120) and Casanova di Neri Tenuta Nuova…
Reignite Your Love Affair with Brunello Some vintages are bound for greatness from the very beginning. Others take several years before their potential can be fully understood. The 2013 Brunello di Montalcinos are very much part of that first group: 2013 is one of the most sought-after vintages from the storied Tuscan perch in recent…
The Bottle That’s Eluded American Drinkers…Until Today For Super Tuscan enthusiasts and Italian collectors, today’s wine should be setting off alarm bells. Some will have already hit “buy” just from reading the subject line alone. Simply put, the 2013 Tenuta Degli Dei Cavalli is impossible to find in the United States, depriving stateside drinkers of one…
Enhanced By Extended Barrel & Bottle-Aging The day we first tasted the 2013 Tenuta di Capraia Chianti Classico Effe 55 Gran Selezione, we met the importer for an early dinner at San Francisco’s SPQR on Fillmore Street. We started with a glass of white from their peerless Italian wine list to go with our octopus…
Third Time’s a Charm — Wooing Giorgio della Seta in Montepulciano As the crow flies, Montepulciano isn’t even 20 miles from the fabled hillsides of Montalcino. But it’s slow going on the SP14, SR2, and SP146 as you travel east, passing through San Quirico d’Orcia (with its “top-less” tower and Romanesque church), and tiny Pienza…

We felt like we’d stumbled upon the very essence of Brunello di Montalcino: With a candelabra lit and flickering on the table beside massive Slavonian oak barrels, we were completely absorbed in the Fuligni Brunello di Montalcino, taking in the smoky, floral aromas and exquisite concentration borne of the rocky, ancient soils. This is the…
