Couldn’t get enough of the 2013 so opened this split of 22. Has years to grow with its floral raspberry & hint of the boldness it will achieve. Just hope Im still around to still taste it in 10 years! — a month ago

Medium deep ruby , thin pink , violet rim . Spicier nose than the Sassicaia , with blackberry , sweet oak , cassis , raspberry jam , touch of spice, mint , grafite . On the palate this is a little juicier than the Sassicaia with sweeter fruit, but shows good balance , blackberry , cassis , rosemary , grafite notes . Polished tannins and balanced acidity . Good length , with grafite finish . This is actually showing quite well , though young , even better in 5 -8 years and will go well a further 10 or so — a year ago

If you’re expecting CA taste then it’s probably not up your alley. More in line with a Tenuta,

Out of Sassicaia so had to settle for this instead - tough! 🙄
Have to say, equally good. Big, dark fruits, a little earthy and chocolatey. — 3 years ago

This was the mystery bottle in our Super Tuscan tasting event. It was up against the 2016 Masseto, Ornellaia, Sassicaia, Solaia, Tignanello, and Redigaffi. This wine was outstanding. Probably one of the top 5 vintages of Insignia since 1994 in my opinion. Deep purple color, blueberry, blackberry, chocolate, some lead pencil and earth on the nose. Super smooth and elegant on the palate. Really well balanced fruit, tannins, acid. Long elegant finish of dark fruit and earthy with a touch of spice that lingered beautifully. We decanted this and all others about 2.5 hours prior to tasting. Second favorite of the night behind the Masseto which was a force of nature. — 5 years ago

1982 Haut Brion. Dinner w J&D B at Best. Drank after the ‘85 Sassicaia. Did not decant either. This wine was excellent, but if we had to choose a favorite, we all agreed it would be the Sassicaia. His was lively, but Sassicaia just had more freshness to the fruit and richness to it, though this did have fruit to it. Excellent wine. Just an unfair comp. — 8 years ago

I’ve had a lot of grappa over the years and they’ve been fun, in a rustic way, but few have ever really impressed me. This one did. It was more complex, layered and about as smooth as any I have tried. Drink now or whenever. — 3 months ago

Orma is sandwiched between Sassicaia and Ornellaia. This not their second wine that is a Merlot dominant Bordeaux blend. Medium bodied with nice complexity. Plums, orange peel, fine wood, clay, black tea, clove, coffee beans. — 2 years ago

If Burgundy is the pennacle of Pinot Noir… Pinot Noir by the creator of Sassicaia from The Argentine Patagonia is its evil twin… That is what’s in my glass. This is the entry level 2014 and it is mirroring some of the Premier Cru Burgundy’s I’ve tried in the past... Cheers! — 3 years ago

One of my favorite Private Editions and sadly, my last dram from my only bottle. IIRC, these were finished in Sassicaia barrels. — 4 years ago

My first try of this wine was the 2015 vintage & I loved it but I’ve not found many 2014 from Italy that I’ve liked as many are weak, so @ £127 I was torn on hold or try & yes I’m so weak to 🤣 I prefer this to the Sassicaia 14 but still I’d pay for the 2015 at this price as it feels expensive for what it is or could be 😉 But hey I love their labels 😍

📍 Montevertine Le Pergole Torte 2014

🏵 93 points w/ maybe a little improvement but not as complex as the 2015 which I gave 97-98 points @ £135 - I know which I’d buy as a long term treat 😉

Had this after the sassicaia- totally different wine and tasted like dirt vscthe fruit in the sassicaia but after time the fruit pulled through. The finish was long and you a great mix of the dark fruit and menthol. — 8 years ago

From makers of Sassicaia, Deep Ruby color with aromas of fresh red & black fruits and earthy floral notes, 55% Cab Sauv, 27% Merlot & 18% Cab Franc. On the palate flavors of cherry, plum & blackberry with floral, licorice, cacao and earthy notes, well integrated. Fine tannins, a wine with a solid structure, elegant and smooth, long finish, great mouth feel ending with fruit and oak. Will age well over next 5+ years. Nice! — 9 months ago

This was an awesome Malbec and went great with our Italian meal. It followed a Sassicaia and held its ground well. Full bodied and smooth as silk. Delicious — 3 years ago

Piero Incisa de la Rochetta’s (Sassicaia) pinot noir project in Patagonia, Argentina continues to deliver impressive results such as this mind blowing release, Sin Azufre. Natural wine at its best displaying tipicity, personality and approachability. For anyone into elegant Pinots with freshness, balance and value, look no further. — 8 years ago
