We’ve secured a small allocation of an incredible Cab Sauvignon called Le Fughe. From the family-run Molino di Sant’Antimo winery and the challenging yet rewarding 2022 vintage, it was just awarded 91 points from critic James Suckling.

And, with this limited-time presale, you can secure your own case of six or 12 with just a small deposit for delivery in July.

Established in the 1980s by Carlo Vittori, Molino di Sant’Antimo sits at the heart of the sundrenched Val d’Orcia—one of Italy’s most desirable areas.

This is Brunello’s final frontier, and for most, it’s Sangiovese country. But through in-depth soil analysis, the Vittori family identified one site particularly well-suited to Cabernet, from which they believed the grape could “carry the soul of Montalcino,” says Carlo.

Today, the property has expanded to just under 100 acres, with only 27 of those dedicated to vineyards—woodlands, olive groves and Mediterranean bush cover the rest. Everything is farmed organically and methodically.

In this corner of Montalcino, Cabernet has the ideal environment to enhance its distinctive strong structure, fruit and spice,” says Carlo’s daughter Giulia. (His other daughter, Valeria, shown above, is the estate’s winemaker.)

Though 2022 was particularly hot and dry, the family’s vines resisted heat stress valiantly. “The grapes’ flavor became concentrated, and their sustained acidity promised freshness,” says Giulia.

This means that, while Le Fughe is already a perennial favorite of critics, this release promises to be especially enticing.

When the wine arrives next month, we’ll have just 500 cases to go around. Don’t miss this exclusive opportunity to reserve your share of a uniquely Tuscan Cabernet.
