Bountiful Tuscany

Amid scores of great wines from recent vintages, pay close attention to the late-release 2021s

The latest releases from Tuscany showcase an array of excellent wines from multiple vintages. The most important of them hail from the outstanding 2022 harvest, yet even these are overshadowed by the late releases from the stellar 2021 vintage, which is one of the best in a generation. The proof is this report’s highest-rated wines. Among the five top-scorers, all at 97 points on Wine Spectator’s 100-point scale, four are from 2021. Get tasting notes, scores and analysis for these bottles and others tasted over the past year in senior editor Bruce Sanderson’s annual tasting report on Tuscany!
