When you talk about the history of winemaking, there aren’t many places like Tuscany that can seamlessly trace their winemaking routes back by many centuries. Sure the French have some oldies too, but so many Tuscan wineries have been passed down from generation to generation, keeping the same traditions and building upon a winning recipe.
Case in point is Poggibonsi right outside the border of the Black Rooster historic Chianti area. There lies Ormanni’s estate, which has a history that goes back hundreds of years. With 60 hectares of vineyards on the Chianti/Chianti Classico border, the estate is one of the highest regarded wineries in the region with their innovative take on old-school practices.
Their neighbors seem to always take notice, as do the critics. Antonio Galloni’s Vinous called out the winery last year, saying “readers with classically leaning pallets will find much to admire. Their property along the border of Chianti Classico is amongst the most intriguing in the region.”
While Ormanni makes a number of wines– they have developed an incredibly strong reputation for their Sangiovese. Every year, their Sangiovese Big 3 of Chianti Classico, Riserva and Gran Selezione earn big time scores. Farming organically and using both cement and steel for fermenting, the winery takes their time with aging, with the wines eventually being switched to casks. These make for some crazy good and age-worthy wines that show beautifully in their youth.

Camphor, new leather, dark spice and ripe wild berry aromas waft out of the glass. On the dense palate, close-grained tannins accompany roasted coffee bean, coconut, licorice and dried cherry. Drink through 2023.

This is Joe Wagner and Quilt’s inaugural Red blend called Threadcount. It is a total knockout at the price point for this style of wine. It’s a big voluptuous wine and very fruit forward. The nose is straight up dark chocolate dipped raspberries and it tastes of fresh-baked blueberry pie, spice, and a touch of toffee. It’s the kind of quality blend that you’ve come to expect from the family behind Caymus.

“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 secret to Philippe’s tightly wound, complex Pinot Noir is a combo of ancient vines, natural farming techniques, and low yields. The wines are built to age, with incredible tension and length. And the secret to me securing his other-wordly 2017 old-vine Gevry-Chambertin can be chalked up to a great relationship and over a decade supporting superior Burgundian winemaking. The wine is scary good. The nose is wild, filled with spiced dark raspberries, red flowers, and baking spices. The palate is elegant and racy, with a dynamic tension that runs right through its minute-long finish. This is a high-toned, wound-up Pinot, that is starting to hit its prime and is really turning out to be a ‘must-have’ for true Burgundy lovers.
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.
