Frescobaldi’s story is one that is very closely connected with the history of Tuscany. Sitting just outside of Florence at the high point of the medieval old-town, the Frescobaldis spread their influence as bankers, becoming patrons of major works in Florence, such as Santa Trinita bridge and the Basilica of Santo Spirito.
Now one of Tuscany’s benchmark producers, the winery’s uniqueness stems from the representation of Toscana diversity, from its estates and from wines which express a kaleidoscope of aromas and sensations, springing from the characteristics of each individual terroir. The Estates are positioned in prime areas of Tuscany and each tells its own story, made up of nature, terroir and people.
Their 2018 Chianti Rufina is stunning – easily one of the very best of the vintage. Made from old-vine Sangiovese, the team blended with Malvasia Nera, Colorino, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon for this juicy Chianti Rufina, which combines vibrant notes of red and blue fruit interlaced with softer hints of sage, and spice.

A crunchy Rùfina mainly from 1970s Sangiovese vines with dashes of both local heritage and international varieties, too. Fermentation in stainless steel precedes 24 months in concrete and large, second-fill oak vats. Its bright scarlet hues mirror equally bright and deliciously savoury fruit. The compact palate provides coherent interplay between fruit and tannin with no sense of overripeness or oaky angularity. It’s mouthwatering now, but resist so its texture evens out fully.
92 Points, James Suckling
A tight and focused red with crushed-berry, spice, bark and fresh-herb character. Medium body, tight tannins and a zesty finish. Some mushroom at the end. Real Chianti character. Drink or hold.
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.*
92 Points, Jeb Dunnuck – 91 Points (Smart Buy), Wine Spectator
This is a unique expression of Syrah and Grenache. It’s absolutely delicious and it’s balanced to perfection– a Perrin Family calling card. Both critics who reviewed were delighted by the wine. Jeb Dunnuck who came in at 92 points called it, “a terrific wine that’s going to keep for 7-8 years or more.” Wine Spectator included it in their ‘Spectator Selections’ giving the wine a 91-point score and ‘Best Buy’ designate and calling it, “Ripe and expressive with a lovely beam of plum puree and violet racing through.” All this for an impeccably balanced Rhone blend that at under $20 easily outclasses many Gigondas and Vacqueyras at a village price.
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.”
Chad’s 2019 ‘SMR’ is a Bordeaux blend that came from what is widely considered to be the best old-patch, old-vine vineyard for Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot in the Mayacamas Mountains. It’s a vibrant purple color with killer aromatics of wild blueberry, sage and mint. This baby is full-bodied and lush on the pallet, with juicy, ripe plum and cassis flavors and just a touch of dark chocolate. The tannins are fine and long. There’s a lot to like – this is a classy wine at a crazy good price.
