I like guys like Marco Bacci because he’s a hustler. The man who birthed the “Corbaia” label also was super smart to secure properties in the 3 best Tuscan appellations (Chianti, Montalcino and Morellino di Scansano). Antonio Galloni of Vinous has praised him countless times– saying that the Chianti Classico he makes at Castello di Bossi is “consistently amongst the very best”.
But I think it’s his wines at Renieri that represent the true jewel in his crown– with a terrific program in place to produce some of the most vibrant, well-structured Sangiovese in Montalcino and at prices that consumers can really dig into.
A lot of winemakers in Montalcino use the Sangiovese that didn’t make the cut in their Brunello for their Rossos but not Marco. Every wine he makes, he uses all estate fruit, and every block of the vineyard is attached to a wine.
The Invetro Tuscan blend is a particular treat and the best value in his portfolio. It’s a consistent recipient of James Sucklings ‘Top 100 Bottles Under $30’ recognition, for his ability to create a fresh, seamless blend of 50% Sangiovese, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Merlot. It’s energetic with a strong acid base, notes of freshly picked roses, cherries, raspberries and crushed walnuts. The finish is savory and long, hitting way above its weight class.

“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.”

“Vignon’s 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape delivers even more than I hoped for based on a previous sample. Hints of garrigue, roses, cherries and raspberries appear on the nose, while the palate is full-bodied, silky and long, with an intense, almost briny finish. The assemblage is 50% Grenache, 10% each Mourvèdre and Syrah, plus smaller proportions of seven other permitted varieties, while the élevage includes foudres, demi-muids, concrete and wooden tanks, plus terracotta amphorae.”

“The 2018 Palmer is a legend in the making…This audacious Palmer was still revving its engines 48 hours after opening. There will never be another Palmer like this, sui generis. It was a massive risk. But by throwing caution to the wind, something extraordinary was born.” -100 points, Vinous
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.
