EXCELLENT VALUE from the San Guido (maker of SASSICAIA) estate called Castiglioncello, an 11th century castle on the vineyard’s edge.

91 points James Suckling

A medium-bodied red with plum and cherry character. Walnut and bark undertones. It’s creamy and savory at the finish.

90 points Wine Enthusiast

Aromas of star anise, dark-skinned berry, wild herb and toasted oak form the nose. A blend of 70% Cabernet and 30% Sangiovese, the wine’s bright, linear palate offers red currant, prune and a hint of licorice before a coffee-bean finish. Racy acidity and taut close-grained tannins provide the framework and tension.
