Wonderful. What better way to enjoy the first night of holiday in Italy with friends than with a bottle of wine. Spicy aromas, well balanced, a little leather and raspberry — 17 days ago
Second bottle from this vintage. Much better experience this time. Last wasn’t bad and perhaps was just an off night/bottle. This Solaia was packing significant range and depth. The fruit was beautifully structured and was so well rounded. Seemed more mature than just 5 years. Excellent. — 20 days ago
Very nice with gnocchi. A food wine. Lots of tiny legs streaming down the glass. Wonderful to sip by the Opera Di Santa Maria Del Fiore. — 9 days ago
Hot damn, so structured and complex even at 60 some years! Bricky, twiggy herbaceous nose, cedar and dried fruit and menthol, perfectly integrated tannins (shockingly fresh). What an experience, happy birthday to me! — 12 days ago
A delicate whiff of dusty dried violets gives way to cedary spice and crushed plums as the 2020 Luce slowly opens in the glass. This is soothingly round and supple with cooling acidity and a tinge of minerality up front. Tart red berry fruits swirl across a stream of zesty acidity. The 2020 displays fantastic depth and concentration, tapering off long and gently tannic as black raspberries pucker the cheeks. This is a very approachable vintage of Luce, yet the balance is spot on. Nicely done. (Eric Guido, Vinous, September 2024)

The 2022 Chianti Classico Pèppoli, the entry-level offering from Antinori, is a fine introduction to the year that shows just how compelling this vintage can be. Bright, floral and beautifully lifted, the 2022 is all class. The understated, refreshing style is so compelling. $21.00 (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, September 2024) — 7 days ago
