Avignonesi Grifi Toscana 2020
93 Points, James Suckling – 93 Points, Wine Spectator
Nobody else can quite deliver the value and excellence that this great Tuscan estate has brought the Nicholas Wines faithful. Two scores of 93 points and under $30/btl is not what you see every day. The Avignonesi Grifi Toscana 2020 is a seamless 50/50 blend of Cabernet and Sangiovese. It’s so beautifully structured with a dense layer of dark fruit, silky smooth Sangiovese tannins, and a strong acidic backbone from the Cabernet Sauvignon that give it the lift, elegance and ageability to last for the long haul.
Original price was: $40.00.$27.50Current price is: $27.50.

93 Points, James Suckling
Excellent purity and ripeness to the fruit-expressive nose, but this still has some complexity to offer, too. Some violets, graphite and spices to the fresh blue fruit and slate. I like the texture here on the palate with fresh, fine-grained tannins and a cooling finish. Long, fresh and juicy. From biodynamically grown grapes. Vegan. Drink or hold.
93 Points, Wine Spectator
Featuring a gleam of pure cherry, currant and strawberry fruit, this elegant red is also intense and firmly built, with a layer of dense tannins guarding the finish. Shows excellent length. Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon.
Backed by a very rich and very environmentally conscious investor, Avignonesi has been transformed from a centuries-old classic Tuscan winery into a re-invented, industry-leading, sustainable and biodynamic winery with organic wines and very minimal intervention taking place in an immaculate, state-of-the-art winemaking facility.
All in all, it’s one of the more impressive Italian estates. About 450 acres of vineyards fully certified organic and biodynamic. All wines are vegan and are made exclusively with grapes cultivated on the estate. A chef runs their own culinary program on-site, food and wine pairings, wine classes, the whole works. I mean they’re really dialed in. Melissa, if you’re reading this: I found our next move when the kids graduate.
