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.

90-92 Pts, Parker’s Wine Advocate – 91 Pts (Editors’ Choice), Wine Enthusiast – 91 Pts, Decanter
The wines get consistent high praise but 2018 is truly something special. 90-92 from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate. 91 points and an Editor’s Choice designation from Wine Enthusiast. 91 more from Decanter who provides “There is so much to enjoy in the smaller appellations this year. Drinking Window 2022 – 2031” and another 90 point score from James Suckling. This is a home run value – especially for the price.
91 Points, Wine Enthusiast
Always the one with the most personality of the bunch, this is what Wine Enthusiast had to say about the 2021 release: “This extremely ripe and bold style of Pinot Noir will please those seeking such lushness. Dark in the glass, it begins with black cherry, toasty caramel and cola milk shake aromas.” The cool, coastal days and abundance of sunshine lines up perfectly for a wine that has a good natural acidic backbone, with bold fruit-forward flavors. In an easy 2021 vintage, Joe Wagner had a field day with this single-vineyard beauty.
#24 Wine of the Year (2022), Wine Spectator
92 Points, Wine Spectator – 91 Points, James Suckling
“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.”
Anne Sery describes her Trousse Chemise Cabernets as an ode to the Left Bank and her winemaking roots. It’s a beautiful and fresh Cabernet with aromas that leap from the glass with of black raspberry, violets, and creme de liquor notes. The mouth gives generous amounts of juicy black fruits at the core with hints of baking spice and a smooth, savory finish. This is a terrific partner for just about anything from hard cheese, to poultry, summer salads, you name it!
