2019 M. L. Fioretti "P.V.D." Toscana Rosso
Tuscany, Italy
~~~~~~~~~~~
Sourced from a vineyard planted in 1999 to fossil-rich calcareous soils around Siena, Fioretti bottles this elegant Super Tuscan under his own name, allowing him the freedom to experiment and innovate.
From a picturesque Tuscan vintage, his 2019 "P.V.D." is a blend of 58% Petit Verdot and 42% of the obscure Ancelotta varietal. Drinking perfectly today at seven years old, this Bordeaux-meets-Tuscany red blend shows an impressive purity of fruit featuring black cherry, red currants and cassis complimented by notes of violets, soy, balsamico, olives and a dusting of Mediterranean herbs on the lengthy finish.
With a vibrant freshness and beautifully soft tannins, the silky texture of this wine alone is worth the price of admission. We are a strong 93 points on this unique and delicious bottling that will pair perfectly with grilled lamb shanks, pasta and red sauce, salumi with cheeses, or enjoy it all by itself!
A steal at its intended price of $37, our special blowout price makes this one a no-brainer. Grab your bottles quickly before our limited supply once again swiftly sells out.

Last Chance at the Stunningly Elegant 2022 Ornellaia!
2022 Tenuta dell'Ornellaia "Ornellaia"
Bolgheri Superiore, Tuscany, Italy
~~~~~~~~~~~
With a bevy of massive reviews - as high as 98 points - the dark, full-bodied yet elegant 2022 Ornellaia is a must-have for wine lovers. This iconic bottling, cherished across the world, is the perfect choice for any wine lover. Don’t miss the final shot at this unforgettable beauty!
“Tasted a few months after it was bottled, the Ornellaia 2022 Bolgheri Superiore Ornellaia will be coming to market in March 2025. The blend is 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 10% Petit Verdot. The wine sees 18 months of aging with up to 70% new oak, but the trick, proprietor Lamberto Frescobaldi tells me, is drawing from a large group of coopers with different toast levels and forests. 'I don't want to make a wine of any one tonnellerie,' he says. The oak element is crucial to the identity of this wine that reveals dark fruit, blackberry, sweet spice and cinnamon. Most of the vines were planted in the 1980s, and the average age of the plants is over 20 years old. Fruit comes from many parcels, including Bellaria, Bellaria Nuova, Bellaria Alta, Pero, Fosso, Vigna Vecchia and Stallina. Indeed, some 80 wines are made before final blending. The 2022 vintage will be remembered for its full-bodied appeal, concentrated fruit and generous oak renderings. Petit Verdot plays a slightly larger role in this vintage and was one of the surprise hits of 2022. It serves to elongate the wine and adds to its length. The wine's abundant fruit weight cedes to elegantly integrated tannins. This vintage will appeal to die-hard Ornellaia enthusiasts. Drink Date: 2027 - 2050.”

“A Mediterranean-style wine. Stunning elegance on the nose, with vibrant dried eucalyptus leaves, flowers, restrained brambleberries and hints of black cherries, dried bananas, milk chocolate, cloves and graphite. The palate is full-bodied with elegant tannins and a touch of dust. It’s savory and well packed, with integrated, brilliant freshness and a ripe, fruity finish with a toasty aftertaste of blond tobacco. Try from 2026.”

“Graphite, spicy mulled black cherries, smoked herbs, rose petal, and tar on the nose. There is more Petit Verdot in the blend than in previous vintages, making its presence known with violet candy and sweet tanins on the palate, which in this youthful stage is a bit assertive. The medium-full body is grounded in fine-grained tannins, with a core of ripeness than persists on the finish, complimented by open-knit acidity. 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, and 10% Petit Verdot. Drinking Window: 2025 -2038.”
- 97 Points, The Wine Palate (6/2025)
“The 2022 Ornellaia is a terrific wine for the year. Dark red-toned fruit, mocha, new leather, licorice and spice all take shape in a mid-weight, pliant Ornellaia that is quite alluring, even in the early going. The blend is 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 10% Petit Verdot, unusual for the elevated presence of Petit Verdot, which did better than Franc in 2022. The higher percentage of Petit Verdot comes through in the wine’s dark-leaning personality and also in the quality of tannins. More than anything else, the 2022 is a reminder of how important a tool blending is, especially in challenging years. I can’t wait to see how this ages. The 2022 Ornellaia is clearly among the most successful wines of the vintage. Drinking Window: 2028 - 2044.”
