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.

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 2021 Napa Valley East side Cuvee is an instant classic. From the first whiff to the moment it hits the lips, its clear that this is a fabulously concentrated, serious wine: black in color, and featuring aromas of cassis, cedar and chocolate-tinged purple fruit. The mouthfeel is plush and voluptuous with a firm, solid finish that speaks to its potential for considerable aging.

“This supple red shows a core of cherry and plum fruit allied to olive, juniper and tobacco notes. Delivers well-integrated tannins and acidic structure, lingering nicely on the finish.”

“The 2021 Malbec Reserva, from Vistalba, Lujan de Cuyo, was 60% aged in barrels for 12 months. Purple in color. The nose presents notes of fresh plum and violets, white pepper, strawberry, hints of spice and aromas from the aging process. It’s initially indulgent in the mouth, with good fat, and volume and a velvety texture. The flavors are bold and full-bodied. This 2021 overdelivers at the price.” -Vinous
Winemaker Pascal Sirat consistently puts out some of the best value Bordeaux in the region but he may have outdone himself in what was a stellar 2019 vintage throughout the region. Just south of Pomerol, the vines at Panchille borrow deep in the soil. The resulting wines are ripe but fresh, with an aromatic complexity and stony finish usually reserved for wine twice the price. Daniel Boulud tells me it’s been the hottest bottle of wine at Bar Boulud for over a month, so I figured I’d better hurry up and secure my allocation! Don’t miss it.
