Score 16.5/20 · Drink 2020-2028, Jancis Robinson MW, Oct 2021

65% Sangiovese, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon. Ripe and rich with a Tuscan tang. Dry finish and possibly not the best value. Chianti Classico may be a better buy. (JR)

The 2016 Balifico, Volpaia's blend of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon, shows the estate at its very best. Espresso grilled herbs, plum, licorice, leather, menthol and spice open up effortlessly in a beautiful, resonant wine loaded with personality and sheer class. The tannins need time to soften, but there is plenty to like.
