100-point Italian Wines

The Best of Piedmont and Tuscany

The wines of Italy have been on a meteoric rise in quality since the 1980s when the rest of the wine world began to take notice of the arrival of the "super-Tuscans" and the fantastic evolution of the wines of Piedmont. They are producing world-class wines that have the track record to prove they can last and develop into amazing bottles.

I was looking at our collection of Italian wines and noticed we have 16 different bottles that earned perfect 100-point scores from James Suckling, Kerin O’Keefe, or Antonio Galloni. Or Decanter, Falstaff, Jane Anson or the Wine Independent. These represent some of the greatest wines from the best producers in all of Italy.

Nearly all of these wines are in stock or arriving soon and ready to lay down in your cellar!

#83 James Suckling's Top 100 Italian Wines of 2023

The compelling 2019 Barolo Bric del Fiasc from Paolo Scavino is drop-dead gorgeous. Opening with heady scents of Alpine herb, iris, dark spice and perfumed berry, it showcases the magnificent site, the fantastic vintage and the generational experience of the Scavino family. Stunningly delicious and radiant, it delivers ripe red cherry, raspberry compote, blood orange and licorice set against firm, fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity. Notes of tobacco and almond linger on the finish. Drink 2029–2059. –Kerin O’Keefe

2019 Castello di Ama Chianti Classico Gran Selezione

Vigneto La Casuccia

100 VM / 97 WA / 95 JS

The 2019 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigneto La Casuccia is stunning. What a wine! In this vintage, the aromatics are huge and expansive, a theme that comes through on the palate as well. Cedar, tobacco, dried leaves, incense and blood orange all race out of the glass. The 2019 is mind-blowing in its intensity, pedigree and overall balance. It's the wine of the vintage in Chianti Classico. -Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media
