From the very good 2014 vintage and scoring 88/100 Parker points, "The 2014 Le Difese is a blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Sangiovese that shows bright berry nuances and a tangy, energized personality. The bouquet is simple and straightforward with a low-key fruit profile that does not stray from the original intention of this wine to create a home for the estate's Sangiovese and to offer a simple, food-friendly, entry-level red. This vintage saw extreme fruit selection in order to maintain quality.". Drink now - 2025.

From the very good 2015 vintage and scoring 89/100 Parker points, "his is the least formal wine from the celebrated Ornellaia estate. The 2015 Le Volte dell'Ornellaia is a blend of Merlot, Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon. It opens to a pretty ruby color and shows bright aromas of sweet fruit and cherry. That fruit ripeness and sweetness comes through clearly. The overall effect is less complex, perhaps, but the wine is accessible and easy to drink nonetheless." Drink now - 2024.

From the outstanding 2009 vintage and scoring 16/20 by Jancis Robinson "100% Primitivo from between the towns of Manduria and Avetrana, deep in the Salento territory of Puglia.

Grapes were hand picked in early September and placed in small wooden crates. Carefully destemmed, delicately crushed and then fermented at 25°C for 10 days with frequent pumpovers. Racked then induced malo before six months maturation in French oak. Winemaker Alessandro Michelon. Suitable for vegetarians. TA 5.7 g/l, pH 3.6, RS 4.0 g/l. Very dark crimson. Rich, opulent nose with an interesting burnt edge to it. Dry finish. Lots there! No hurry to drink." Drink now - 2024.

From the very good 2014 vintage and scoring 93/100 Parker points "From the Noto area of southern Sicily, the 2014 Sicilia Saia is a pure expression of Nero d'Avola that reflects some of the characteristics of the limestone soils found in the area. There is a faint mineral vein that runs through this wine. It pulls together the various elements of ripe fruit and spice. Despite the opulence and the grandeur of the wine, it also shows an elegant side that comes in large part thanks to that mineral definition. This wine is exceptionally well balanced and beautiful in this classic vintage." Drink now - 2024.
