The 3 Seals 2023
Here we have lined up the qualitative apex of our pyramid for this ninth edition of The Essential Guide to Italian Wine. These are for us the top Italian wines for the coming season, absolutely great wines that, it goes without saying, will remain great for years to come.
A small note: as you can see, we have awarded a 100+, a small "plus" sign to sanction what was a real coup de coeur, as the French say, the wine of the heart (Veronelli would have said) that after bewitching the editor Daniele Cernilli also convinced all of us.
