B‑21 has always offered the best wines at the best prices of any vendor. I had a lot of problems with FedEx shipping on several occasions, but all of a sudden they've implemented a new schedule and notification system that really seems to work. This delivery was on time and perfect. Looking forward to my next order.

Good selection, fair prices and prompt/economical delivery. Minor but worrisome gripe: 2 bottles in the last shipment either were corked or the corks were loosen in shipment. The bottles were both fully intact, as were the foil caps, but both had leaked into the box. One lost about 75% of the wine, and the other only about 10%. They were 2 of 6 vermentino wines from as very reputable Tuscan producer that I know well, having been there twice.

The service has always been perfect. Our wine arrives quickly and the UPS man calls me to come down and sign for it. I can only get this wine from one supplier in Florida and they always do a perfect job of making available to me.

Sadly, UPS damaged my shipment of the last bottles of Banyuls wine in B‑21 inventory. The message I received was that the unbroken bottles of my order was being returned to sender (B‑21). I was beyond bummed! B‑21's customer service was extraordinary. In order to arrange for a replacement shipment to be sent, they had to replenish their stock. Within a few hours, I got a message saying the wine was ordered, and confirmed that I'd receive an email when the order was shipped. I couldn't ask for better service. I highly recommend B‑21 for their selection and service. Thanks so much for going above and beyond.

I love this wine! It was delivered promptly and very nicely packed. The only thing is the carrier left it at the main building and not to the address I specified. I guess next time I will add a phone number for the carrier to call me. Love this Sangria!!

The folks at B‑21 turn orders quickly and the$24/case shipping cost is reasonable. My shipment arrived with one broken bottle that apparently was empty when it was packed, as there was no evidence of wine in any dividers, the bottles in the case, or the case itself. The cork was still in the bottle. It was disappointing to lose a bottle of my wife's favorite wine, and they refunded the price of the bottle without delay. It was unfortunate that this happened, but hard to understand how an empty bottle could have been put in the case. I am satisfied with their response and hope to continue doing business with them.

2019 Avignonesi Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Poggetto di Sopra (750ml)

Sangiovese from Montepulciano, Tuscany, Italy

B-21 Top Recommendation
Read More

Located in Italy’s first and oldest red wine appellation near the medieval town of Montepulciano, Avignonesi produces exceptional, terroir expressive Tuscan wines ranging from thrilling 100% Sangiovese selections as well as highly rated Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot from meticulously managed, sustainably farmed vineyards, all superb values priced well below the red wines of neighboring regions perfect for mixing a case.

Purchasing the historic Avignonesi winery in 2009, energetic owner Virginie Saverys began transforming the estate vineyards under the direction of renowned agronomer Adriano Zago, fully converting to sustainable viticulture while expanding the estate’s holdings to 175 hectares over the next decade and becoming the largest biodynamic certified winery in Italy. Planted in sedimentary soils of calcareous limestone, clay and sand, the rolling vineyards are situated at altitudes ranging up to 375 meters above sea level, the qualities of each parcel identified through an extensive geographic study with each parcel vinified separately in Avignonesi’s state-of-the-art cellars. Crafted from 100% Sangiovese, the entry level 91 pt. 2020 Avignonesi Rosso offers fresh juicy red fruit that’s “vivid and delicious” according to James Suckling, aged for 6 months in oak barrels to yield soft tannins on a smooth, balanced finish. Crafting their Vino Nobile from 100% Sangiovese despite the minimum requirement of 70% adhered to by many wineries in the region, the enticing 92 pt. 2019 Avignonesi Vino Nobile di Montepulciano offers bright fruit balanced by vibrant acidity on a silky, saline-tinged finish, while the single vineyard 94 pt. 2018 Avignonesi Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Poggetto di Sopra is sourced from 40-year-old Sangiovese vines and aged for 24 months in oak barrels and tonneaux yielding elegant spiced dark fruit with silky tannins, both Vino Nobiles promising to evolve for another decade. Crafting two distinct cuvees from international varietals, the 93 pt. 2019 Avignonesi Grifi is a 50-50 blend of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon aged for 18 months in French oak barriques and large Slavonian oak casks, revealing rich dark fruit hinting of graphite with robust tannins while the 100% Merlot 93 pt. 2019 Avignonesi Desiderio offers juicy rich fruit with silky, refined tannins, both from an outstanding 2019 vintage according to Decanter’s Michaela Morris that promises “loads of enjoyment over the next seven to ten years.”

Offering a range of exceptional vineyard-driven wines that overdeliver value, Eric Guido of Vinous declared “for a lesson on Montepulciano’s terroir, one needs to look no further than Avignonesi,” these enticing selections promising to transport fans of Tuscan wines to the rolling hills of Montepulciano at a bargain price whenever a cork is pulled.

Subtle roasted spices are chiselled to the pomegranate and grapefruit notes with some savory berries, sage and crushed stones. The taut and transparent center palate is followed by a long and minerally ethereal finish. Beguilingly light in form, but intense with flavors. “Pinot” finesse here. From biodynamically grown grapes. Vegan. Drink or hold.

95 points, Zekun Shuai, James Suckling (Sep 2023)

Dusty roses, dried strawberries and worn leather form a classic bouquet as the 2019 Nobile di Montepulciano Poggetto di Sopra blossoms in the glass. Soft and round, this showcases saline minerals and crisp wild berry fruits over a core of brisk acidity that adds tension toward the close. Licorice and violet pastille linger through the finish as the 2019 tapers off lightly structured and long.
