Mission Codename Super T1

Super Tuscan Tuesday Store Takeover!

A mouthful, right?

Today - while it lasts - you’ll find an embarrassment of Tuscan riches in the Store. With famous like Tignanello and Testamatta sprinkled amongst stately cherries like d’Alceo. Perhaps a unicorn or two - Anfiteatro, anyone?

All at prices that take us way back to the late 1900s.

Ranging from $29 to $325, hailing from the mature 2015 to the fresh 2020, and all from 95 to 100 points, there is something for everyone. Quantities on some are extremely limited, so take a look and claim yours while they last!

Now to lead the charge on this glorious day…

“This is a fabulous set of wines from Rocca di Castagnoli. When it comes to quality and price, very few estates can match these new releases that ooze with character.” – Vinous

And NOBODY can match our price on this gorgeous Cabernet. Solid scores for this baby! 95 points from Vinous and 94-95 points from James Suckling.

Under $30 seems like a fairy tale for this kind of quality and prestige.

And what a mythical vintage this 2016 was… Mic to Vinous’ own Antonio Galloni: “The top 2016s have turned out to be just as extraordinary as I had hoped they would be… and he adds that “When it comes to quality and price, very few estates can match Rocca di Castagnoli. These new releases ooze with character… Buriano speaks of varietal expressiveness but with a distinctly Tuscan accent.”

Deep and inky, this wine is perfectly crafted as exactly what you want. “As always, Rocca di Castagnoli presents a distinctly Tuscan expression of Cabernet,” says Vinous. Red and black fruit layered around floral, leather and spice notes. The texture here is legendary. Robust and lush, the tannins somehow are both soft and thundering. Truly impressive! This wine will age handsomely for 10-15 MORE years!

So let’s recap- we got you a wine “oozing with character,” with awesome reviews and we’re offering it to you at 55% off retail. You’re welcome!

Now get to it!

95 Points – Antonio Galloni’s Vinous

“The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Buriano is another fabulous wine in this range from Rocca di Castagnoli. Powerful, ample and deep, the 2016 possesses tremendous density and textural richness from start to finish. As always, Rocca di Castagnoli presents a distinctly Tuscan expression of Cabernet. Inky dark fruit, lavender, spice and leather all build as the 2016 shows off its considerable charm. Drink 2026-2041”

94-95 Points – James Suckling

“A beautifully crafted red with blackcurrant and raspberry aromas and flavors. Fantastic Cabernet with superb density and richness defined in terms of intense currant and blackberry character. Full-bodied, chewy… Exciting. With very ripe, fine tannins that deliver a creamy texture. A little reserved now. Try after 2022.”
