To facilitate those who want to find all the DoctorWine facets of The Essential Guide to Italian Wines 2026, here is a summary with all the necessary links.
We remember: the “little face” is the symbol of the award given by DoctorWine., our seal: it bears the logo that is nothing but the “watermarked” face of director Daniele Cernilli. It means that Daniele Cernilli “puts his face on it,” exposes himself in the first person (DoctorWine is his pseudonym) whether he personally assigned the score or one of the collaborators proposed it.
We start with the double and triple Seals (awarded respectively to wines that achieved 98/100 – double seal – and 99/100 or even 100/100 – triple seal). These are very few wines that represent the cutting edge of our winemaking, 63 in all this year. They are not listed by region, but in alphabetical order by appellation.
