Frescobaldi Tenuta Castiglioni Tenuta Frescobaldi 2022

Toscana IGT

June 02, 2026 - A compelling blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Sangiovese, the Tenuta Frescobaldi Toscana IGT combines the best of Bordeaux blends with the classic Central Tuscan character of Sangiovese. So named because Tenuta Castiglioni is truly the original “home” of the Frescobaldi family, this wine offers an enticing taste of Tuscany by the glass or at home.

James Suckling - July 25, 2024 "Attractive notes of dark cherries, chocolate, oranges, red spices and lavender. Medium-bodied and structured but very fine and nicely filled with fruit. Succulent and long, with a polished finish."

Sandrone Sibi et Paucis ALESTE Barolo 2015

Barolo

June 02, 2026 - ALESTE - a combination of the names of Luciano Sandrone's grandchildren ALEssia and STEfano -- is the new name for Luciano's first wine, the Barolo Cannubi Boschis, which garnered Luciano his early acclaim with the international trade and press. This single-vineyard wine is typically dense and concentrated but shows incredible harmony and balance.

Sandrone Valmaggiore Nebbiolo d’Alba 2024

Nebbiolo d'Alba

June 02, 2026 - One of the Roero's most historic vineyard sites, Valmaggiore sits on a concave hill in Vezza d'Alba, on the left bank of the Tanaro river. Its reputation for quality dates to the nineteenth century, when Nebbiolo from this site commanded the highest prices across the territory. The vineyard's sandy soils set it apart from the clay-rich Langhe across the river, lending the Nebbiolo a more perfumed, lighter character without sacrificing complexity.

Wine Enthusiast - June 01, 2026 Lifted and pretty on the nose with dark spiced cherries that have a seriousness beneath all that prettiness, like something elegant, but with a firm handshake. The palate does not…

James Suckling - March 23, 2026 "Multilayered nebbiolo from one of the most celebrated cru of this grape, Valmaggiore. Dried cherries and meaty depth, embers, bark and licorice. Medium to full body, stunning savoriness with dried…

Sandrone Le Vigne Barolo 2022

Barolo

June 02, 2026 - A tribute to Barolo's tradition of blending Nebbiolo from multiple vineyards, Le Vigne draws from five sites across the appellation, each vinified separately with indigenous yeasts before final assembly. Compact and tightly wound, with dark fruit, spice, liquorice and violet, and a long, dry finish with ripe, lingering tannins. Patience will reveal great complexity.

James Suckling - January 20, 2026 "Red cherries, flowers and pomegranate with a nervy note. The palate is medium- to full-bodied, more on the fuller end of the spectrum, yet very balanced and harmonious, with a…
