Achille IGT Toscana, Bindi Sergardi 2019

“Decanter’s Steven Spurrier – whose memoirs, Wine - A Way of Life I would later publish – introduced me to the beautiful and hugely talented Alessandra Bindi Sergardi, warmly recommending her wines at a wine fair some years ago. Steven was right. The Bindi Sergardi wines are quite exceptional; made from fruit from their vineyards outside Sienna that the family have worked since 1349, regularly scoring in recent vintages 93, 94, even 95 points. Alessandra, the 23rd generation of her family, designed the striking labels, inspired by the painted coats of arms on the ceiling of her grandmother’s bedroom.”

How does the wine taste?
The latest vintage of Achille is very drinkable bright and vibrant, with ripe cherries and blackberries. Luscious freshness and also a pleasing warmth and texture. A touch of barrel-ageing adds a hint of toast and spice.
