Three Red Hot Tuscans @ $24.99
from Antinori :: Sette Ponti :: Folonari
93 - 95 pts :: All Rich Complex Tasty Reds
This is an exciting trio of must-buy Tuscan reds from three of the biggest, best names in Italy. The Crognolo is one of our best selling Italian reds every year and the 2016 may be the best vintage to date; the Campo Mare is from a vineyard near the Tirrhenian Sea, planted to Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc (grapes first planted by Sassicaia in the 1960's). And last but not least, the Bruciato from the 26th winemaking generation of Antinori, is a blend of 100% handpicked Cabernet, Merlot and Syrah. Take your pick or buy all three, you will be very happy you did! Salute e Mangiamo!!!
Cheers! the Murray family

| RATED 95 JAMES SUCKLING :: 'Aromas of rosewood, cherries and blueberries follow through to a full body, tight and focused tannins and a long and flavorful finish. This is linear and bright. The tannins are wonderfully polished and poised. Hard not to drink now, but it will improve beautifully in the bottle. A blend of mostly sangiovese with a touch of merlot. Drink or hold.' |

| RATED 94 JAMES SUCKLING :: 'Aromas of dark berries, currants and chili paste follow through to a full body, chewy yet polished tannins and a flavorful finish. Lush and aromatic, offering ripe plum, floral, spice and iron aromas and flavors. Vibrant, with a base of firm tannins that is proportionate to all the components. Finishes on the elegant side. Best from 2019 through 2028.' |

RATED 93+ WINE ADVOCATE :: 'This is absolutely one of the best value wines you will find in Italy and I suspect beyond. The 2016 Bolgheri Rosso Il Bruciato is a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and 15% Syrah. I enthusiastically recommend that you pick up a few cases. This vintage comes together with seamless intensity and smoothness. You get so much dark fruit flavor, paired with soft tannins, spice, smoke and dried blackberry. Il Bruciato pulls off its magic effortlessly. It doesn't try to be anything other than it is: Delicious.' |
