B‑21 normally has excellent service. The shipments apparently got a little behind for the holidays in the year 2024. There were some confusion in three of my orders, but eventually this was cleared up after the new year.

2020 Tolaini Al Passo (750ml)

Sangiovese from Tuscany, Italy

B-21 Top Recommendation

"The 2020 Al Passo is a powerful, deep wine ... [with] a lot going on."

- Antonio Galloni, Vinous

The latest vintage of a perennial best-selling value Super Tuscan is now in stock and ready to impress anyone seeking outstanding bang for the buck. The 92-point 2020 Tolaini Al Passo offers all the ripe, spiced fruit and lush, long structure that have made this unabashedly modern-style wine one of the sharpest case-buy contenders in Italian wine, year in and year out.

After 40 years of running a successful business in Canada, entrepreneur Pier Luigi Tolaini returned to his native Tuscany with the goal of producing top-quality wines from Sangiovese, purchasing 25 hectares in the hills of the Castelnuovo Berardenga region of Chianti in 1998. Undertaking massive replanting of the vines and rebalancing of the soils, Pier hired famed enologist Michel Rolland and Tuscan agronomist Andrea Paoletti to manage the vineyards and construct a state-of-the-art winery, releasing the first Al Passo in 2007 and expanding the estate to over 100 hectares over the next decade. Winemaker Francesco Rosi blended nearly equal parts Sangiovese, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon for the 2020 Al Passo, which "works especially well" according to Galloni, yielding "a rich style" that's simultaneously "fresh and tangy, with a long, resonant finish" per Wine Spectator.

Like previous vintages, the 2020 offers immediate enjoyment but certainly displays the stuffing to cruise in the cellar for a decade, making a case purchase an easy choice at our sub-$20 pricing.

The 2020 Al Passo is a powerful, deep wine. A blast of dark fruit, chocolate, mocha, dried herbs, leather and menthol makes a strong opening statement. This heady, internationally-styled wine has a lot going on. I would prefer to drink it over the next decade or so. The Sangiovese/Merlot/Cabernet Sauvignon blend works especially well.

92 points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous (Aug 2023)

Savory and spicy nose with some sweet spices over the berry and citrus fruit. Expressive and fine-grained on the palate with a firm backbone and a tight, lengthy finish. Unfiltered. Drink now.

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

A blend of equal parts Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, the 2020 Al Passo offers soft lines and lots of rich fruit with black cherry, blackberry and light spice. This vintage does not have the clarity or precision of a cooler vintage, but it does offer good volume and upfront intensity. Production is 110,000 bottles.

91 points, Monica Larner, Wine Advocate (Sep 2023)

A rich style, this red boasts ripe cherry, blackberry, black currant, wild herb and spice flavors aligned with a supple texture. Fresh and tangy, with a long, resonant finish. Harmonious, this is accessible now with decanting or aeration, but no rush. Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink now through 2028. 11,000 cases made, 7,000 cases imported.
