Giacomo Toscana Rosso "A Mio Padre
Size750MLVintage2019SKU29815
In the mouth it is a velvet embrace and it shows tannic sweetness, warmth, and structure that make the persistence aromatic, long and intriguing. Giacomo is a big brawny representation of what Merlot can be in the hands of a legendary winemaker like Giacomo Tachis of Sassicaia fame.Poggio il Castellare Brunello di Montalcino
Size750MLVintage2013SKU27382
Sporting cherry, strawberry, floral and leather aromas and flavors, this vibrant style is harmonious and structured, yet more elegant than powerful, with fine intensity and a lingering aftertaste. 95pts Wine SpectatorPunset Barbaresco DOCG
Size750MLVintage2012SKU26714
Elegant, leading off with perfumed aromas of rose, cherry, strawberry and white pepper. The profile is sleek, with a solid base of acidity and tannins. Shows terrific length, evoking fruit and mineral on the aftertaste.Roagna Langhe Rosso
Size750MLVintage2018SKU17911
A delicious young vine Nebbiolo from this very traditional producer. This is a deep, complex wine possessing significant structure and pedigree. Dark red berry, tobacco, eucalyptus on the nose carry through on the palate and are joined by floral and earthy characters. The tannins are quite ripe and will soften with short-term aging.Rocche Costamagna Barolo DOCG
Size750MLVintage2016SKU27474
Deliciously spiced red-cherry, blueberry, pink-grapefruit and pomegranate aromas with very attractive complexity already on release. The palate delivers a superb array of finely detailed tannins and impeccably concentrated red cherries that have pitch-perfect ripeness. This is impressive. 96pts James Suckling
Vasco Sassetti Brunello di Montalcino
Size750MLVintage2015SKU16144
Vasco Sassetti made a powerful brooding Brunello that conveys a healthy dose of dark minerality and earthiness that balances its ripeness. Despite its power, this is a fresh and lively wine. An attractive black cherry skin subtle bitterness reinforces the seriousness of this Brunello.Jakot Radikon Friuliano
ITALY: FRIULI - VENEZIA GIULIA
Size500MLVintage2017SKU29715
This years blend is 80% Semillon and 20% Sauvignon Blanc. Devastating in apricot, orange, pear, honey, vanilla and creme brulee flavors, in an unctuous, viscous texture, with wonderfully clean acidity, it's certainly one of the greatest sweet California wines in memory.Poggio Alto Brunello di Montalcino
Size750MLVintage2016SKU27735
This wine opens to an inky dark appearance and a deep garnet color. The aromas span over to black fruit, oak spice, tobacco and espresso. They definitely represent the more contemporary side of the Sangiovese bouquet. There is good textural firmness and volume here to glue all those strong flavors tightly together. 93pts Wine SpectatorRovelotti Ghemme Chioso dei Pomi
Size750MLVintage2015SKU24869
Ghemme "Chioso dei Pomi" by Rovellotti is a red wine aged 30 months in oak casks, complex at the noise with mature and dried fruit notes, dried flowers and spices. Full on the palate, warm, beautiful structure, fresh and long on the palate. WOW!Agostina Pieri Brunello di Montalcino
Size750MLVintage2016SKU27286
Full medium red. Strawberry, red cherry, licorice, violet and spicy oak on the perfumed nose. Supple, suave and fine-grained, offering juicy flavors of red and black cherry, licorice, chocolate and brushy herbs. Not especially complex but nicely pliant and very long; a hint of volatile acidity adds freshness. 92pts Vinous MediaLuigi Oddero Barolo
Size750MLVintage2018SKU29277
Aromas of rose, crushed herb, red berry and a balsamic note take shape in the glass. Elegant, fresh and poised, the palate offers black raspberry, red cherry baking spice and a hint of licorice framed in youthful but polished tannins.Occhipinti Frappato
ITALY: SOUTH-ISLANDS - SICILY RED
Size750MLVintage2020SKU17216
Good bright medium red. Wild red berries, sour red cherry, violet and sweet spices on the nose, plus hints of blood orange and savory earthy scents. Bright and juicy on entry, then tougher and concentrated in the middle, showing less floral lift and more fleshiness than is usual with frappato. Finishes long and full, with strong iron and saline traces. Very well done: give this highly promising Frappato at least two years of cellaring for optimal drinking. Vinous-91Poggerino Chianti Classico Riserva Bugialla
Size750MLVintage2020SKU27696
A rather ripe and slightly warm but also very fresh, balanced and structure-driven Chianti Classico Riserva. The wine still comes across as very harmonious and classically styled in character. With its intense, concentrated and wonderfully pure Sangiovese fruit and impressive structure, I have no doubts this wine will evolve gracefully for another decade or two.Renieri Brunello di Montalcino DOCG
Size750MLVintage2012SKU23671
The bouquet is rich and complete with layer after layer of ripe fruit intensity. The effect is succulent and rich. This Brunello drinks beautifully right now and shows a contemporary style with thick extraction and soft tannins. The mouthfeel also delivers good density and fullness, and that does not come easy in this vintage. 95pts James SucklingVilla Crespia Franciacorta Mille
Size750MLVintage2010SKU30072
Chardonnay with five years on the lees. This bottle has a blue sleeve. 6 g/l dosage, with some old vines in the liqueur. Taut, lemony and linear with bright acidity and focused fruit. Juicy and fresh, and still quite linear. ThereFontodi Chiant Classico
Size750MLVintage2020SKU26049
There are floral sensations of fresh sweet violets, forest rose and red rose, along with maraschino cherry jam. Dry to the taste, with good body, taste and freshness, with vivid tannin. Very good correspondence to the nose.Ca 'Moranda Barbaresco Ancermo DOCG
Size750MLVintage2020SKU30135
Dusty floral notes, tobacco and a hint of bacon with notes of red fruits and even a little black berries, as well as earthy and mushroom scents. Tart fruit, hazelnut, tobacco and notes of cocoa spices, fine and dusty tannins, peppery and ethereal scents, notes of scorched earth, truffle and hazelnut on the finish.Caprili Brunello di Montalcino
Size750MLVintage2018SKU27163
This is a very decadent Brunello with dried stems, charcuterie, bay leaf, Thai basil and earth. Full-bodied and dense, the deeply interlocked layers of dark fruit nearly tripping over the ropey, chewy tannin structure. 95pts James SucklingFeudi Di San Gregorio Taurasi DOCG
ITALY: FRIULI - VENEZIA GIULIA
Size750MLVintage2017SKU25550
Brilliant ruby red with garnet reflections, this wine offers fragrant aromas of maraschino cherry, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla and anise. The taste is full and balanced with sweet and soft tannins that confer to good aromatic persistence.Altesino Brunello di Montalcino DOCG
Size750MLVintage2017SKU29043
A concentrated bead of blackberries and minerals pervades the nose and palate. Medium-to full-bodied with well-integrated tannins and a balanced finish. Tight and very focused. Classic Brunello for the vintage. 95pts James SucklingCiabot Berton Barolo La Morro
Size750MLVintage2016SKU27698
Effusive on the nose, this wine is elegant, with complex notes of raspberry, liquorice, and spices. It is full-bodied, powerful, and balanced by the sweetnessof the tannins that characterize its lasting impression on the palate.Schiavenza Barolo Cerretta
Size750MLVintage2019SKU18389
Enticing aromas suggesting new leather, violet, raspberry tart and forest floor are front and center. It's young and primary but also full-bodied and delicious, featuring ripe Marasca cherry, licorice, truffle and the barest hint of game before finishing on a hint of graphite.
Alessandro and Gian Natale Fantino Barolo dei Dardi
Size750MLVintage1998SKU11515
Well structured and hansomely endowed, this one has Mascarello's signature all over it, and no wonder, Sandro Fantino spent many years as Bartolo's winemaker. Classicly styled with firm tannins and just a hint of oak.
Alessandro and Gian Natale Fantino Barolo Vigna dei Dardi
Size750MLVintage2001SKU15151
Fantino's ethereal 2001 Barolo Dardi offers a delicate, balsamic nose typical of Bussia, along with sweet fruit, spice, mineral and toasted oak notes on a classic, medium bodied frame that bridges traditional and modern styles. It will benefit from a few additional years of cellaring and should drink well to age 25. 91pts Wine Spectator (2001)
