It’s been called Tuscany’s greatest value by multiple wine critics and writers. It may be the wine that above all others helped put Marco Bacci in the elite category. It’s Castello di Bossi’s ‘Corbaia’. Since the late 1990’s, it’s inexplicably been right up there every vintage in quality and in expert recognition and big scores with the very best in Chianti, Sassicaia, Ornellaia, Tignanello, you name it.
Perhaps no wine in the duo’s repertoire has helped put them on the map like their Super Tuscan bargain Corbaia. It was tasting the Corbaia that Parker once labeled these wines as “easily some of the most exciting reds made in Tuscany.” They unquestionably often the biggest bargain.
When the Corbaia first came onto the scene, it was a supernova Super Tuscan that garnered just $30/bottle with scores as high as 95s and 96s. Even as it’s popularity skyrocketed and the price tag has driven it all the way up to $70 bottle, it’s still a synergetic, perfectly orchestrated masterpiece each vintage which challenges peers who charge four and five times the price.
But in a chance deal when I struck up the Gran Selezione offer, I was granted access to this Library, 93-Pointer than Galloni gushed over, and which I had with some of our pizzas last week. The wine is drinking fantastically. This is a home-run.

93 Points – Antonio Galloni, Vinous
The 2013 Corbaia, Castello di Bossi’s Sangiovese/Cabernet Sauvignon blend, is terrific. Dark cherry, kirsch, leather, smoke and tobacco flesh out in this pliant, beautifully textured wine. A host of Cabernet-infused savory top notes continue to develop in the glass. The Corbaia is relatively open for the vintage.
93 Points, James Suckling
Elegant and silky for the vintage with blueberry and black pepper aromas and flavors. Medium body, firm tannins and a pretty finish. Delicious blend of sangiovese and cabernet sauvignon. Drink or hold.
91 Points, The Wine Advocate
A blend of 70% Sangiovese and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2013 Corbaia offers good balance and overall intensity. The bouquet shows dark notes of black fruit, cured leather and spice. The effect is more robust and brooding overall, thanks to the dense and sophisticated personality put forward by this Tuscan blend
The second year of this elegant, silky smooth Willamette Valley Pinot Noir crafted by Bertrand de Villane of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti fame. Again it comes from the gorgeous Winter’s Hill Estate about 700 feet above sea level in the Dundee Hills. All indications are that the 2019 is going to be one of the best for Pinot Noir since 1991. A flawless summer that benefited from very little rain mixed with cool, breezy summer nights. With a round, supple mouthfeel and a sturdy backbone this will age gracefully for a decade plus. Bertrand’s wines just have a signature stamp that is unmistakably his. This is phenomenal.
This is a very, very special library offer from our friends at Val di Suga and is also a very limited one. There are only a few of these amazing six-pack collector’s boxes for sale. Two bottles each from Val di Suga’s three single vineyard sites. Val di Suga is the only Brunello producer that controls three separate estate vineyards located in three specific climate zones in the appellation. Each vineyard site has its own unique exposure and geo-climatic features which expresses itself in every bottle. Not to be missed. *Original wooden boxes come included.*
100 Pts, Jeb Dunnuck – 100 Pts, James Suckling – 99+ Pts, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
Hands down one of the best wines made in the world in the 2018 vintage. This is a little slice of history in a bottle; a time capsule present for yourself – a rare shot at a perfect wine from an iconic producer. A double 100-point wine with Parker’s Wine Advocate all but conceding perfection in their glowing 99+ review. It’s everything you want in a Napa Cab and in a collector’s item. This will be drinking like a dream for the next half century. Don’t miss a slice of double perfection!
94 Points, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate – 93 Points, Jeb Dunnuck
“This is a very well balanced Brunello with sharp and classic lines. The Val di Suga 2015 Brunello di Montalcino offers attractive energy and brightness that is transmitted through the cherry fruit and wild berry aromas at its core. That primary fruit is surrounded by light spice, grilled herb and potting soil. There is a nice purity and linearity to this wine that reminds you of the natural depth and complexity of Sangiovese when given a little time to age.”
