Decanter Panel Tasting

To be awarded 90 points by Decanter in the Unoaked Italian Reds panel tasting is both an honour and a deeply meaningful milestone for everyone at Tenuta Il Finale. Yet beyond the score, this recognition reflects something far more important — the quiet, dedicated work that happens long before the wine ever reaches the glass.

It speaks to the early mornings in the vineyard, when the light first touches the rows and every decision begins with listening to the land. It reflects the patience required to shape each vintage, the thoughtful choices made throughout the season, and the respect we hold for our grapes, our soil, and the traditions that have guided winemaking in Piemonte for generations. These are not always visible moments, but they are the ones that define the character of our wines.

Unoaked wine leaves nowhere to hide. Without the influence of wood, every detail matters — the purity of the fruit, the balance, the structure, and the true expression of place. It demands honesty, and that honesty is exactly what we set out to capture. Our goal has always been to create wines that speak clearly of where they come from, wines that are authentic, elegant, and grounded in the land that shaped them.

This recognition, however, is not ours alone. It belongs equally to those who choose our wines, who open them at their tables, who share them with friends and family, and who believe in what we are building at Tenuta Il Finale. Your support allows us to continue pursuing this vision with care, patience, and passion.
