B21 has an Incredible selection of wine, especially my favorite Pinot Noirs! However, what sets this wine shop apart from others? They have exemplary and attentive customer service. They answer emails promptly, offer shipping deals, and they will hold a wine shipment for inclement weather circumstances. What more could you want? AWESOME store!

My mixed case of Cliff Lede Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Black arrived quickly. The packaging is excellent as the bottles are packed horizontally in thick padded form‑fitting shelves that also work wekk as wine racks. I highly recommend B21 and its charming Tarpon Springs home base.

B‑21 is the best! You can count on them for speedy delivery, fair prices and easy problem resolution. As an example, I once had a shipment arrive with several broken bottles due to the shipper. B‑21 immediately shipped me another case and had the shipper pick up the damaged goods. I highly recommend B‑21!

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.
