Toscano Bianco 'Martiena' 2020

88

The 2020 Bianco Martiena, a kitchen sink blend of indigenous and international white varieties, shows hints of pineapple and zests of lemon, before giving way to sweet white flowers. This is soft and enveloping with a sweet and sour display of melon and orchard fruits, both rich yet also energetic. This finishes remarkably fresh with potent tropical and citrus tones, and also a good amount of energy.

Rosso di Toscana 'Sancta Catharina' 2017

94

Upstanding, elegant, and engrossing, this attention-getting blend of 30% Sangiovese, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, and 10% Petit Verdot displays a fine acid structure complemented by minerality and black fruit. Espresso runs deep on a palate embedded with white pepper and balsamic.

Rosso di Toscana 'Sancta Catharina' 2017

91

A blend of Sangiovese, with Bordeaux varietals including Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. Bright, medium intense ruby red; aromas of black cherry, black plum, lavender and a hint of vanilla. Medium-full with impressive concentration and notable persistence, this is a rich, ripe and yes, oaky red; how much you will like this wine depends on how much oak you perfer in a Tuscan red (or any red for that matter). Time should help, and there is certainly notable richness on the palate. Peak in 8-12 years, perhaps longer.
