Yesterday we began publishing the list of wines awarded with the DoctorWine’s Seal, divided by region, with each wine preceded by its score, starting with the highest. As for the wines with the Double or Triple Seal—which represent the very best of this year’s releases—we ask for your patience; you’ll find them all published together on Monday, September 28.
95, 96, and 97/100. These are the scores a wine must achieve to earn the DoctorWine Smiley. Beyond that, the double smiley (98/100) and the triple smiley (99 and 100/100) are awarded.
Next are the individual ratings (up to 97/100) we gave in the Marche, Abruzzi, and Molise regions. Many of you have likely already seen these posted on social media by individual producers, who are justifiably proud to share the results they achieved in the The Essential Guide to Italian Wine 2027.
