Score 94/100 · Drink 2022-2030, Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, Feb 2023

The organic 2019 Balifico is a blend of 65% Sangiovese and 35% Cabernet Sauvignon aged in French oak for a standard 18 months. You get a lot of volume and texture in this sunny Tuscany red. It offers thick layers of blackberry and dried currant with sweet earth and tarry smoke. With 7,000 bottles made, you get a lot of drinking pleasure with Balifico.

Composed of 65% Sangiovese and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2019 Balifico is unfolding with complex layers of tobacco, leather, plum, and violets. Fleshy and supple, with a round texture and finely polished tannins, it offers ripe and weightless notes of black cherry, forest floor, and mocha. Drink 2025-2040.

The 2019 Balifico is powerful, dense and quite expressive. Black cherry, plum, leather, tobacco and chocolate give the 2019 notable density to match its extroverted personality. Balifico is a blend of 65% Sangiovese and 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, with the Cabernet very much driving the wine's personality.
