2021 Isola delle Falcole Vecchia Vigna Toscana
Isola delle Falcole’s 2021 Vecchia Vigna Toscana is an old-vine red blend that’s pure Tuscan swagger—vibrant, complex, and seriously hard to resist. This 95-point stunner mixes Sangiovese, Colorino, Canaiolo, Ciliegiolo, Malvasia, and Trebbiano from high-elevation vineyards between Montefioralle and Panzano. Naturally fermented and aged 18 months in large barrels, it’s all about wild berries, blood orange, sweet cigar box, and a cool, minty kick—juicy, elegant, and dangerously drinkable.
Led by Emanuele Graetz—cousin of the legendary Bibi Graetz but blazing his own trail—Isola delle Falcole is Chianti’s worst-kept secret. A rare, rockstar red blend at an unbeatable price. Don’t sleep on this one—grab it before it’s gone!

James Suckling
A well-composed, poised and lively red blend of sangiovese, colorino, ciliegiolo, canaiolo, malvasia and trebbiano. The nose shows aromas of forest berries, frozen raspberries, wild herbs and baking spices. It’s medium- to full-bodied with fine tannins. So juicy and pulpy on the palate, with verve and succulence. Bright finish. Drink or hold.
