Vinous, June 2022, Score: 98+
The 2019 L’Apparita is incredibly powerful in this vintage. Huge searing tannins wrap around a core of dark-fleshed fruit. Incense, tobacco, chocolate, mocha, lavender and spice open, but only reluctantly. Whereas most 2019s in the Ama range are quite inviting at this stage, L’Apparita is a wine for the cellar. In other words, the 2019 Apparita demands patience.

James Suckling, September 2022, Score: 97
Enticing aromas of blackberries and violets with some fresh black olives. Fresh violets as well. Full-bodied and very rich and layered with velvety tannins and a long, long finish. Lingering flavors of dark chocolate in the finish. Powerful merlot here.

Kerin O’Keefe, January 2024, Score: 97
Heady scents of blackberry, cassis, dark exotic spice and blue flower are just some of the aromas you’ll find on the stunning 2019 L’Apparita. One of the best expressions of Merlot in Tuscany, and in all of Italy, the palate is delicious, structured, elegant and loaded with intensity, delivering black cherry, black currant, tobacco and crushed mint alongside taut, fine-grained tannins. Bright acidity keeps it energized and lend great aging potential. Give it a few more years or hold. Drink 2026–2039.

Arguably the most celebrated of all Italian regions for its sun, delicious food and rich wines. Chianti lies at the heart of this centrally located, picturesque and expansive area. Tuscany is also home to Chianti’s more powerful cousin, Brunello di Montalcino, illustrious Super Tuscanblends and spicy, exuberant whites.
