A descendant of the family that helped define Chianti. A former Formula 1 driver turned winemaker. And a centuries-old Tuscan technique akin to Amarone.
Somehow, they all ended up in the same six-pack, and for a killer price too.

Our new Tuscan Dreams 6-Pack brings together three very different expressions of Sangiovese, beginning in the rocky hills of Gaiole with Rocca di Montegrossi Chianti Classico 2023. Marco Ricasoli-Firidolfi is a direct descendant of Baron Bettino Ricasoli, the man credited with codifying the original Chianti Classico formula. His 2023 is a beautifully pure, classical Chianti Classico, earning 93 points from Antonio Galloni, who called it “truly exceptional.”
Then there’s Erik Banti, whose road to Morellino di Scansano was anything but conventional. A former Formula 1 driver and accomplished photographer, Banti became one of the pioneering figures in this wild, sun-drenched corner of coastal Tuscany. His 2024 Spineto is smooth and the most easygoing of the three: fragrant, juicy Sangiovese with wild berries, spice and that wonderful Mediterranean freshness.
Finally, Terrescure’s 98-point Bernardeschi 2024 takes Sangiovese in an entirely different direction. It’s made using governo all’uso Toscano, the old Tuscan practice of introducing partially dried grapes to trigger a second fermentation. The result is deeper, richer and more voluptuous, with the kind of weight and polish you’d expect from a wine with this kind of score, but a much higher price.
Three winemakers, three stories and three completely different expressions of Tuscan Sangiovese. If you’ve ever wanted to understand why this grape can be so endlessly fascinating, this is a pretty delicious place to start.
