Marafiance 2024 was elected "Best in Show"in the Decanter World Wine Awards 2025 and I can see why. A skilful blend of Grenache (30%), Rolle (25%), Syrah (20%), Cinsault (16%), Cabernet Sauvignon (5%), and Sémillon (4%). Strawberry, watermelon and grapefruit, mouthwatering acidity and very good mineral length. Bright and subtle. A class act and a steal for 11 euro! Abv. 12,5%. — 5 days ago

Slightly buttery. Crisp and lightly sweet. Pretty good. Lighter than expected. — 5 years ago
Our som last night was the great grandson of the person the wine is named after. Referred to as the “boom boom wine” because his great grandparents had 18 kids, this wine was fantastic. Fruity but bold. A great example of what the San gimingano terroir has to offer. — 7 months ago

Great wine. The reviews from 2014 do not matter. Who drinks Barolo after five years. Wine is now complex, leather tobacco, great tannins and body. Pleasant long finish. Great wine! — 6 years ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of several hours. The 2023 “San Bartolomeo” pours a deep ruby color with a transparent core; medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. This really needed air and showed better after an hour+ of being open. What unfurled was an elegant and quite beautiful expression of Dolcetto showing notes of fresh black berries, blueberries, purple flowers with the stems, a mix of dried herbs and warm spices with dry gravelly earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium acid. Confirming the notes from the nose, the finish is medium+ and slightly savory. A precise and technically brilliant Dolcetto. Drink now through 2030. Thanks for the assist @Lyle Fass — 8 days ago
