Three Tuscan Value Wines We’re Loving Right Now!

2018 La GaffeliereWe love finding inexpensive wines from amazing producers that deliver beyond their price point, and we have a feeling that you do too! It’s one of the most fun and interesting sides of this business. Today, we’re sharing three Italian gems, all from Tuscany and all priced under $45. These fan favorites are from terrific producers, offer great quality and are perfect to add into your wine rotation.

2019 Castello Banfi Chianti Classico – This wine was named as Wine Spectator’s #2 Top Value Wine of 2021, and at only $14.99, it’s one to pick up today. Banfi is a family owned wine producer known for their amazing Brunellos, but they also produce other wines in Tuscany, including a terrific Chianti collection. Take advantage of this low price for a wine coming from a top producer with great pedigree. It will sell out quickly!

2019 Sette Ponti Crognolo – You may know Tenuta Sette Ponti for their flagship wine, Oreno, but they also make Crognolo, which consistently ranks among our best-selling value wines. This 94 point, Super-Tuscan style wine is a steal at only $32.99. It pairs great with spaghetti and meatballs, lamb, steak or pizza. Quantities are quickly dwindling, so if this is a favorite wine of yours, order your case quickly before it’s gone for good!

2019 San Guido Guidalberto – If you’re looking to experience the pedigree of Sassicaia (one of the best wines in the world) for less, Guidalberto is San Guido’s second wine and gives a peek into this top producing estate. Same vines, same winemaker, but at a fraction of the price. For perspective, 2019 Guidablerto is priced at $44.99 compared to recent vintages of Sassicaia priced in the $200 - $300+ range. Guidalberto always offers fantastic value and has been a Sokolin customer favorite for many years. The 2019 vintage has a 95 point score is drinking great now - 2029.

Cheers!
