Gualdo del Re 2004 I'Rennero Merlot (Val di Cornia Suvereto)
- $45
Winemaker Barbara Tamburini is a rising star, and her l’Rennero Merlot is outstandingly juicy and succulent. Notes of ripe fruit such as black cherry and blueberry are backed by sweet spice and a rich, plush mouthfeel. The wine is powerful and chewy but also elegant and balanced at the same time.

Gualdo del Re 2003 Federico Primo Cabernet Sauvignon (Val di Cornia Suvereto)
- $36
Inky, modern and deeply concentrated, this is a bruiser; delivers lavish notes of blueberry preserves, plum, prunes, pipe tobacco, smoked bacon and cigar box. Game meat or duck will enhance the dusty tannins and creamy mouthfeel.

Gualdo del Re 2004 Federico Primo Cabernet Sauvignon (Val di Cornia Suvereto)
- $40
This Cabernet Sauvignon is a bold expression of Tuscany with generous layers of clove, Indian spice, crushed black pepper and black plum. The nose is distinguished by a lingering clove aroma. The tannins are thick but smooth and the mouthfeel is plush and rich.

Gualdo del Re 2002 Sangiovese Grosso (Val di Cornia Suvereto)
- Editors' Choice
- $29
How do you get Sangiovese to taste like this? Dense, unfiltered and concentrated, this is smoky, ripe and intense, with blackberry, pipe tobacco, charcoal, moist earth and a chewy, almost sticky, feel in the mouth. It sees 18 months in barrique and one year of bottle aging; made with the same Sangiovese clone that produces Brunello.

Gualdo del Re 1994 Riserva Sangiovese (Val di Cornia Suvereto)
- $27
This is a real mouthful. Nose is very leathery and herbal. Clearly a high-extract wine with high tannins and a velvety core. The long, complex finish bodes well for the future. A Barolo lover’s wine.
