Compare two exceptional vintages and discover how climate, aging, and time influence one of Italy's most celebrated wines.

Featured Wines & Exclusive Pricing 🍷
Fattoria Le Pupille Poggio Argentato
James Suckling - 93 Point
“Lots of green apples and melon with some spiced pears. Medium-bodied with flinty and seashell mineral character, as well as some salt and fresh sage. Really spicy. 65% sauvignon and 25% petit marseng, the rest gewurztraminer and semillon.”
Casanova di Neri Ibbianco
“Ibbianco shows with notes of ripe apple, stone fruit, and white flowers, with subtle hints of Mediterranean herbs. On the palate, it is fresh and vibrant, with lively acidity and a soft, balanced texture, leading to a clean, persistent finish. An elegant and expressive wine, defined by freshness and harmony.”
Fattoria Le Pupille Morellino di Scansano
James Suckling - 93 Point
“Light and delicate, with crunchy fruit and flint, cranberry and raspberry aromas and flavors. Light-bodied and spicy at the end. Crunchy, crisp and bright. It's a joy to drink everyday.”
L'Ottavo Montalcino
“This is beginning to reveal tertiary aromas and flavors of mushroom and autumn woods, along with macerated cherry, rose hip, licorice, iron and leather. Well-structured, fresh and balanced.”
Madonna Nera Brunello di Montalcino 2015
Decanter - 95 Point
Classic and rich in style showing character and tension in the floral profile of hibiscus flowers, lavender and jasmine. The scents of mandarin juice, bergamot and lemon rind give fragrance and bite to the secondary scene. Medium to full bodied, well matured tannins and a balanced, very pleasurable finale. Drink now or age.
Madonna Nera Brunello di Montalcino 2016
Wine Enthusiast - 93 Point
Chocolate, coffee and cherry aromas swirling on the nose enjoy depth from tanned leather and fresh potting soil, with an herbal metallic tang. The palate of this wine is stunningly fresh with Bing cherries and wild strawberries that are anchored by undertones of dark chocolate and meaty earthiness. Tannins are still firm enough to take this a distance.
