  • 96pts, Luca Maroni, 2021

You’ve fallen head over heels for her reds. Now you can enjoy that first-sip-thrill with Sofia Barbanera’s 96-point, zesty white. Unusually it's made from Sangiovese. Picked early, this red grape makes a bright, crisp white with notes of sour cherry.

Sofia Barbanera is an exceptional and pioneering winemaker at her family’s beautiful estate. Surrounded by some of the region’s most famous cellars, Sofia works hard to impress. With a whopping 96 points from top critic Luca Maroni for this rare Sangiovese white she's certainly achieved her goal. Yet, at the end of the day, it’s really your 5-star reviews that mean the most to Sofia. Knowing her customer’s love for Tuscany’s brightest star, Sangiovese, Sofia took it for a spin. Her creation - a dazzlingly fresh white! Personally selecting plots, she gave the grapes the gentlest pressing to ensure a light wine with quince and citrus aromas. Yet it retains the sour cherry hallmark of Sangiovese. Deliciously different and spot on with risotto.

"Bright and breezy with a whisp of smoke floating over quince, pear and green-apple fruit" Joanna Simon
