About Ornellaia

Though Ornellaia entered the Super-Tuscan field later than Sassicaia and Solaia, Ornellaia made up for lost time with global impact, and today, Ornellaia’s... flagship and other wines are hot commodities on the fine wine market. Ornellaia’s 244 acres sit in Bolgheri, just a few miles from the Tyrrhenian Sea, and the estate’s holdings are split between two parcels, a 100-acre parcel located in a natural bowl near the state-of-the-art cantina and the remaining acres in the Bellaria subzone closer to the sea. This assortment of microclimates, supported by soils that range from stony to clayey to loamy, offers ideal growing conditions to its predominantly Bordeaux-style grape varietals. Since 2005, the Frescobaldi family has owned and operated Ornellaia, and Axel Heinz has served as the company’s chief winemaker, running the Ornellaia operation with a painstaking eye for detail and dedication to his craft.

About the Tenuta di Carleone

While Tenuta di Carleone di Castiglioni seems like a new estate — it was established only in 2012 — this winery in Radda, Chianti, has a long... history behind it. The monks of Badia al Coltibuono founded the first winemaking venture on these lands in 1078, and the Carleone’s 494 acres (74 under vine) had been home to various winemaking enterprises for centuries. The modern age of Carleone was born when Austrian businessman Karl Egger and his sister, Kristine, partnered with winemaker Sean O’Callaghan with a shared vision of creating ultra-elegant, terroir-driven, wholly natural wines. Today’s Carleone estate has spread beyond Radda with plots in Gaiole and Vagliagli as well. Sean, the “one-eyed bandit” who inspired the estate’s cult wine Il Guerico, employs a range of artisanal techniques in his winemaking that can include foot-stomping; using whole clusters; open-top fermentation in cement or wood; and aging in steel, vats, or amphorae — whatever he thinks will give the estate’s natural, unfiltered wines the greatest “bevibilità,” or drinkability.

About Tenuta San Guido

Sassicaia is arguably Italy’s most famous bottle of wine, and its maker, Tenuta San Guido, is Italian wine aristocracy. Sassicaia and its Super-Tuscan... revolution changed the face of Italian wine — and it catapulted Tenuta San Guido into the highest echelon of wine producers. Today, Marchese Nicolò Incisa della Rocchetta continues in his father’s footsteps even as he prepares to hand over San Guido estate to his son, Sebastian Rosa. Over the years, Tenuta San Guido expanded its vineyards to encompass 190 acres, planted to Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, and the estate expanded its lineup to include “second” wine Guidalberto and entry-level Le Difese. Debuting with the 2000 vintage, Guidalberto holds fast to its ideal of accessibility upon release, but over the years, it has grown more refined, polished, and elegant. Le Difese, debuting with the 2003 vintage, does the work of the estate’s “everyday” wine, but when Tenuta San Guido makes it, the “everyday” wine is still a reason to celebrate. Tenuta San Guido’s outstanding Guidalberto and Le Difese bottlings add even more luster to Italy’s premier Super-Tuscan estate.

Marchesi Antinori Le Mortelle

Marchesi Antinori Le Mortelle Botrosecco Maremma Toscana 2018 750ml

About Marchesi Antinori Le Mortelle

Located on the Maremma Coast near the family's Guado al Tasso estate in Bolgheri, Le Mortelle was once part of a larger estate called La... Badiola, created in the nineteenth century when the Duchy drained the marshy areas around Grosseto. The Antinori family purchased Le Mortelle in 1999, and the estate’s name, which comes from the region’s plentiful wild myrrh, signals the family’s green commitment. Le Mortelle isn’t merely certified organic — it also sports a state-of-the-art cellar facility constructed with natural materials and erected under the earth. Built into the side of a hill, Le Mortelle’s cantina is barely visible, but its three-story structure allows for gravity to move the wine from pressing to fermentation to aging barrels, which reduces energy and treats the wine with tender loving care. Le Mortelle occupies almost 670 acres, with 420 acres under vine, and it boasts a variety of soils that range from sandy and loamy with clay and silica to rocky, pebbly, and mineral-rich. While Le Mortelle’s range of wines is small, the impact is great, and it’s only a matter of time before this Antinori estate achieves the renown it deserves.

San Vito Tosacana IGT 2019

While Matthew Fioretti, Cerbaiona’s winemaker-owner, crafted this Merlot to gratify his own palate, he has... realized that it’s too good to keep to himself. The extremely low production 2019 San Vito Toscana derives from Merlot grapes purchased from trusted growers, and after whole berry fermentation, it ages in a combination of new barrique and amphorae; the resulting wine is a cult item waiting to happen.

Tenute Silvio Nardi

In 1893, Francesco Nardi left his family’s farm to seek his fortune here in the States. After great success, Francesco returned to Toscana to start his... own farm design business. In 1950, his son Silvio purchased Casale del Bosco in Montalcino, and eight years later, Silvio was among the first members of the newborn Consorzio del Vino Brunello, the ruling body of Brunello production. Silvio Nardi’s contemporary era began in 1991 when Silvio's daughter Emilia assumed control of the estate. Nardi now covers about 200 acres in two different locations, and its wines bear distinct trademarks of elegance, longevity, and silky-smooth texture. Two major parcels comprise Silvio Nardi's holdings: Casale del Bosco, whose five vineyards offer western exposure and soils of schist, shale, clay and jasper, and Manachiara, whose east-facing three parcels sport marly, sandy soils laced with limestone. Nardi wines bear distinct trademarks of elegance, longevity, and silky-smooth texture, making them favorites of in-the-know Brunello lovers.

Montevertine

Montevertine Rosso Toscana IGT 2019 750ml

About Montevertine

Just under 50 acres located in and around the rolling hills of Radda in the Chianti Classico region, Montevertine has made a powerful impact on the global... wine landscape with its cult mono-varietal bottling, Le Pergole Torte, but even more than that glowing achievement, Montevertine has exerted a kind of gravitational pull over the entire Chianti region because of its staunch adherence to traditional indigenous grapes, especially Sangiovese. Founder Sergio Manetti wasn’t looking to shift the Tuscan winemaking landscape when he bought the lands that would become Montevertine in 1967, but he planted about five acres of Sangiovese, made some wine for friends, and sent a couple of bottles off to Vinitaly as a lark. The wine was a hit, and Montevertine was born. Today, Montevertine, helmed by Sergio’s son, Martino, spans nine organically tended vineyard parcels, with the majority planted to Sangiovese, and it crafts three wines. Montevertine’s position has shifted from new guard to vanguard, and wine-lovers around the globe await every new release with bated breath.

Colle Santa Mustiola

Colle Santa Mustiola Poggio ai Chiari Sangiovese Toscana IGT 2010 750ml

About Colle Santa Mustiola

Sometimes a winemaker begins with a singular vision, and that’s the case with Fabio Cenni, who got his start as a marketer for his father’s wine... distribution business in the 1970s. When Fabio took the reins of his grandfather’s Tuscan winery in the 1980s, he decided to dedicate himself to the study, cultivation, and vinification of one grape: Sangiovese. Fabio’s single-minded pursuit led him to isolate specific Sangiovese clones and replant his family’s vineyard with 28 specific Sangiovese clones — four that date from before the phylloxera outbreaks of the late 19th and early 20th centuries — and create some of the best, most authentic, longest-lived, and absolutely gorgeous Sangiovese wines on the planet. Located in Chiusi, an ancient site for winegrowers, Colle Santa Mustiola spans about 12 pebble-strewn sandy acres of organically tended Sangiovese vines, and the cantina is housed in a site that opens from ancient Etruscan tomb; this underground cave offers perfect temperature control for Mustiola’s wines. Fabio still helms Colle Santa Mustiola, aided by longtime enologist Emiliano Falsini, and the estate quietly crafts achingly pure Sangiovese wines that are age-worthy, complex, and very hard to find.

About Fontodi

Tenuta Fontodi has everything going for it: amazing history, terrific microclimates, outstanding skill, intense passion, and great people. The estate sits the... Conca d’Oro, or golden bowl, an ideal spot for winegrowing, and the Manetti family, who has owned the 200-acre Fontodi estate since 1968, has roots in Chianti Classico that date back to 1398, the year when Chianti had its very first official designation. Although the Manettis have been terracotta makers longer than they have been vintners, their love for Toscana drives both pursuits, and, indeed, Giovanni Manetti, Fontodi’s owner-winemaker, has been the president of the Chianti Consorzio since 2018. Fontodi has made some radical changes in recent years, including removing the Cabernet Sauvignon component of its Vigna del Sorbo, making it pure Sangiovese, and opting to vinify some of their wines in amphorae. Certified organic, thoroughly traditional, and utterly bewitching, Fontodi’s wines stand as the epitome of Tuscan elegance, and that never goes out of style.
