Sicilia IGT Syrah Rosé Blend 2023
The 2023 Rosé is perfumed with a cascade of wildflowers, lime zest and crushed stone. It opens with a lovely inner sweetness complicated by mineral-tinged orchard fruits and sour citrus. The 2023 tapers off with mouthwatering tension. It’s crisply refreshing, leaving behind a salty flourish. $18.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous, July 2024) — 22 days ago
Donna Laura
Ali Toscana Sangiovese Rosato 2023
Tangerine peel, grapefruit, kiwi fruit and grass clippings rush forth as the 2023 Rosato Ali unfurls in the glass. Expressive, cheerful and open for business, the Ali is light on its feet but neatly framed. Just the right amount of spice-inflected bitterness wraps up the finish. $20.00 (Billy Norris, Vinous, June 2024) — 2 months ago
Babich Wines
Black Label Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2023
The 2023 Sauvignon Blanc Black Label is a well-judged style. It is nicely textured with decent substance through its bright, firm core. Attractive gooseberry, elderflower and passion fruit flavors combine well. Five months on lees rounds out its edges and lends flesh to the light-bodied palate. $16.00 (Rebecca Gibb MW, Vinous, May 2024) — 2 months ago
Tenuta delle Terre Nere
Etna Bianco Carricante Blend 2023
Honeyed florals, candied ginger, fennel and crushed green apples form a spicy, inviting bouquet as the 2023 Etna Bianco opens in the glass. Ripe orchard fruit plays against a core of salty minerals and savory spices. The 2023 tapers off perfumed and long, leaving a pleasantly sour citrus tinge. $22.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous, July 2024) — 10 days ago
Astrolabe Wines
Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2023
The 2023 Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough is a richly flavored, textured wine. It focuses on the greener spectrum of the variety, particularly sweet gooseberry and elderflower fruit. The 2023 is an interesting and attractive, lightly structured Sauvignon Blanc that offers something for everyone. $23.00 (Rebecca Gibb MW, Vinous, June 2024) — a month ago
Garofoli
Kòmaros Marche Montepulciano Rosato 2023
Minty herbs, wild strawberries and spice waft from the 2023 Rosato Kómaros. Soothingly round with pretty inner sweetness, this builds in zesty tension through a mix of tart orchard fruits and brisk acidity. Chalky minerality defines the finish, as the 2023 tapers off with medium length. $14.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous May 2024) — 2 months ago
Dog Point Vineyard
Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2023
The 2023 Sauvignon Blanc is light in body but dense in concentration because of low yields. It's almost silvery in color and restrained due to hand-picking, leading to pure grapefruit, passion fruit and nectarine, all delivered with focus and punch. The finish is long, precise and sinewy. $23.00 (Rebecca Gibb MW, Vinous, July 2024) — 14 days ago
Azienda Agricola Ca'Liptra
Arancio White Blend 2022
The 2022 varietal Malvasia is wildly aromatic, wafting up with dried flowers, incense, young mango and freshly shaved ginger. This opens with a pretty inner sweetness, glycerol textures and ripe orchard fruits, all lifted by juicy acidity, finishing spicy and with medium length. $23.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous, June 2024)

Masciarelli
Villa Gemma Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo Superiore 2023
The 2023 Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo is a finessed, tenderly fruited, delicate wine. Raspberry coulis, mint, sweet lavender, crushed rocks and round, ripe red berry fruit run through to the core. Refined and polished, the Villa Gemma is reflective of the beauty that can be achieved in this style. $24.00 (Billy Norris, Vinous, June 2024) — a month ago
