Italy
Italy, known as the "Land of Wine," is celebrated for its exquisite range of fine wines. With a winemaking history dating back thousands of years and a diverse array of terroirs, Italy offers a remarkable collection of wines that delight the senses and captivate wine enthusiasts worldwide.
In Tuscany, famous vineyards like Antinori, Marchesi di Frescobaldi, and Tenuta San Guido have become synonymous with excellence. Wines such as Brunello di Montalcino, Chianti Classico, and Super Tuscans like Sassicaia and Tignanello showcase the region's mastery in crafting complex, age-worthy, and expressive wines. Piedmont is home to legendary vineyards like Gaja, Vietti, and Marchesi di Barolo. The region's iconic wines, Barolo and Barbaresco, crafted from the Nebbiolo grape, epitomize power, elegance, and longevity. These wines boast flavors of red fruit, floral notes, earthy undertones, and firm tannins. Veneto, renowned for its sparkling Prosecco wines, is also famous for Amarone della Valpolicella. Vineyards like Allegrini and Quintarelli produce exceptional Amarone wines with concentrated flavors of dark fruit, spices, and a velvety texture. Sicily, the largest island in the Mediterranean, offers a different yet captivating expression of Italian wines. Vineyards like Planeta, Donnafugata, and Tasca d'Almerita craft remarkable wines from indigenous grape varieties such as Nero d'Avola and Nerello Mascalese. These wines exhibit intense fruit flavors, vibrant acidity, and a unique volcanic minerality.
These are just a few examples of the renowned vineyards and wines Italy has to offer. From the northern regions of Piedmont and Veneto to the central regions of Tuscany and Umbria, and down to the southern regions of Sicily and Puglia, Italy's wine regions are a treasure trove of exceptional wines. Experience the allure of Italian wines and immerse yourself in the rich history, diverse terroirs, and passionate winemaking that define the Italian wine scene. Whether you're sipping a prestigious Barolo, a refined Brunello di Montalcino, a refreshing Prosecco, or a bold Nero d'Avola, Italian wines promise a journey of flavors and a celebration of Italy's winemaking heritage.

Dark ruby-red. Vibrant but reticent aromas of dark berries, cedar, cola, mint, sweet spices and underbrush. Concentrated and fine-grained, with harmonious acidity providing lift to the oak-influenced flavors of dark berries, licorice and herbs.

The 2005 Brunello di Montalcino Vigneto Manachiara emerges from the glass with a soft, expansive core of fruit, caressing the palate with dark red fruit, sweet spices and flowers. The wine’s inner perfume becomes more expressive with air, yet this too looks to be a Brunello best suited to mid-term drinking. In 2005 the Manachiara isn’t quite the powerhouse it is in most vintages, but it compensates for that with its beautiful sense of harmony. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2017.Inc. GSTSG$473.21 -

The estate's 2003 Brunello di Montalcino Manachiara is made in a distinctly riper style, with more overt oak influence. Notes of jammy dark fruit, chocolate and roasted coffee beans flow from this super-ripe, masculine wine. It offers a darker profile and a rounder, texture than the normal bottling, but the tannins remain somewhat hard and unpolished. Still, this is a pretty, modern-styled Brunello to drink over the next few years.Inc. GSTSG$577.48 -

The nose is dark, showing an alluring richness, as black cherry airs out to give way to fresher notes of strawberry, with hints of brown spices and lifting notes of wild brush and herbs. On the palate, depths of black fruit and spice are carried on textures that feel like pure silk, as dark spices and inner florals amass. The finish reveals the wine’s hulking structure, yet it is balanced by zesty acids with lingering wild berry fruits, saline minerals, and a hint of citrus and spice. The 2015 single-vineyard Brunello di Montalcino Manachiara displays wonderful balance, perfect oak management (it was aged in a combination of French Allier Barrique and botti), and is built for the long haul.Inc.

(14% alcohol): Bright red. Sour red cherry aroma lifted by minerals and herbs. Slightly medicinal flavors of red cherry and licorice show a distinctly firm edge on the palate.

The 2023 Rosso di Montalcino is wonderfully unique compared to past vintages. A burst of strawberry and cherry meets complementary nuances of rose petal, dusty earth and leather strap. This stands out for its acidity, intense but the perfect counterbalance to its tart berry fruits and mineral saturation. A stern tug of tannin adds edginess toward the close. This comes across as wiry and structured but juicy. It will show lots of early appeal if paired with the right meal, but its old-school poise tempts me to cellar it for another three to five years. Having tasted this, I'm extremely excited to see what the Brunello from this vintage will yield.Inc. GSTSG$509.47 -

The 2018 Duemani, 100% Cabernet Franc, is polished, classy and sensual. It is one of the most polished wines I have ever tasted here.

Cantina Santadi Terre Brune Carignano del Sulcis 2019 is a distinguished expression of Sardinia's indigenous Carignano del Sulcis grape. Grown in the unique Terre Brune terroir, the vineyards benefit from the region's mineral-rich soils and Mediterranean climate, nurtured by Cantina Santadi's meticulous viticultural practices. Hand-harvested in optimal ripeness, the grapes undergo careful fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve their vibrant character. Aging for 12 months in French oak barrels imparts subtle complexity without overshadowing the varietal nuances. The 2019 vintage presents a deep garnet hue, with a bouquet of dark berries, spice, and earthy undertones. On the palate, it offers balanced tannins, a harmonious acidity, and a lingering finish, exemplifying Cantina Santadi's commitment to quality and tradition. This wine is a superb accompaniment to hearty Italian dishes and aged cheeses.

The 2019 Barolo Acclivi is a very serious wine in this range. It possesses a gorgeous core and tons of supporting structure. I would give the 2019 at least a few years in bottle, as it really needs that time to release its aromatics. I have seen this wine blossom with cellaring, and imagine that will be the case here as well. Today, the Acclivi is quite closed, but time in the glass releases gorgeous red fruit and blood orange character. Although the Acclivi is not as coveted as the Cannubi or Monvigliero, it is an important wine in its own right, as several recent bottles of the 2006 showed.
