Giacomo Brezza & Figli, Piedmont
Rich ruby color with garnet reflections, complex and enigmatic on the nose, compact tannic structure on the palate and considerable length. - Gerardo [TS06/15]
"...the high-class Barolo Sarmassa cleared our three cups practically from the wrist. It piled its wet earth aroma pyramid on a platform of iodine and iron notes; it set the capstone with classic Nebbiolo tart fruit and balsamic nuances." - Gambero Rosso
'The Barolo Sarmassa is simply awesome. This dark, sensual beauty flows with the essence of balsamic-infused dark fruit, menthol, spices and minerals, all of which come to life in a rich, textured expression of Barolo. The aromatics seem to never end, as the wine exhibits remarkable inner perfume wedded to generous fruit, all supported by firm sturdy tannins that guarantee a long life in the cellar." - Robert Parker

Antonelli, Umbria
Dense ruby color and scattered crimson nuances in the glass. The intense bouquet is reminiscent of wild berries, spices and leather, underlined by subtle smoky notes. In the drink pithy and of finely balanced tannins, long-lasting finish. - Gerardo
"The top label of the house is the Montefalco Sagrantino Chiusa di Pannone, created in a kind of company-owned Clos. The 2005 embodies the absolute top class..." - Gambero Rosso
'Deep ruby. Explosive aromas of sweet, ripe red cherry, chocolate-covered plum, violet and cappuccino. Enters rich and suave, then turns somewhat more austere, offering lovely purity to its red fruit and sweet baking spice flavors. Displays lovely balance for a sagrantino with Antonelli-signature silky tannins and great length. Very well done." - Stephen Tanzer
"Transparent ruby red. On the nose aromas of varnish, tertiary aromas, humus, herbal nuances, ink and carob. The palate is tannic, warm and full-bodied. Long finish of ripe fruit and spices." - Daniele Cernilli (Doctor Wine)

Ottella, Veneto
Always a premiere is the Amarone 'Ripa della Volta' (Valley of the Gods), from the second estate of the Montresor family (Ottella). After a long search, new vineyards in the neighboring Valpolicella could be acquired and developed.
The high-quality, chalky soils are similar to those of Burgundy: this unique location, with its microclimate and marl soils - from which the Dolomites were also formed - create the conditions for an honest, sustainable and personal product.
Opulent and at the same time finesse-rich Amarone della Valpolicella. The aroma is concentrated of ripe cherries, bomber berries and cloves. On the palate full-bodied, rich and harmonious. Limited small edition. - Gerardo [TS02/16]
"Tarry smoke and loamy earth accents lead to black currant, dried thyme and dark chocolate notes in this richly aromatic red, with well-knit, lightly chewy tannins. Offers a subtle, spiced finish." - Wine Spectator

Fasoli Gino, Veneto
Intense ruby color, a pleasantly velvety wine with notes of ripe red fruits, light hints of leather, truffle and licorice. With great body and structure, it is a rich but balanced Merlot, enveloping and powerful.
Calle was born in the nineties from the rooted cuttings of Orgno, the first vineyard where the Fasoli brothers experimented the practices of natural farming. This Merlot takes its name from the splendid and quiet place on the hillside, Calle, on the border with Illasi. A wine of great longevity. - Gerardo [TS05/18]

Librandi, Calabria
A magnum bottle of Gravello Rosso in a high quality original gift box:
The color of Gravello is a rich ruby red with purple inclusions. On the nose, sandalwood and cardamom mingle with ripe plum and some floral honey. Soft and supple on the palate, the finish is dominated by amarena cherries and balsamic notes. The tannin of the Cabernet is cushioned by the velvety Gaglioppo, giving the wine a supple texture. - Gerardo [TS06/19]
"Balanced and easy to like, this offers creamy flavors of ripe black raspberry and boysenberry fruit, mixed with notes of juniper, gumdrop and star anise. Light tannins lend grip to the subtle finish." - Wine Spectator
"A blend of 60% Gaglioppo and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, this polished red conveys aromas of underbrush, cassis, grilled herb and red currant. The juicy palate delivers crushed black cherry, ground pepper, licorice, clove and a coffee note alongside velvety tannins." - Wine Enthusiast
"With a fruit and floral aroma lures equally the Gaglioppo/Cabernet blend Gravello, which also has spicy and balsamic components." - Slow Wine

Baron di Pauli, South Tyrol
The Arzio comes from the Arzenhof which was built by Count d'Arsio e Vasio. In the glass, this Cabernet-Merlot blend, reminiscent of a Bordeaux blend, is a brilliant ruby red. The bouquet is complex, with hints of fresh cassis and cranberry, as well as balsamic and earthy notes. Firm and punchy on the palate, with smooth and very fine-grained tannins. The finish is finesse and slightly mineral. - Gerardo [TS08/21]
"Bright garnet with brick red rim. Opens with comforting notes of white chocolate and coffee, plus delicate toasty aromas and pickled wild berries. Spans animatingly, fills the palate nicely, shows fine tannin and noticeable use of wood, long lasting finish." - Falstaff

Tenuta Guado al Tasso - Antinori, Tuscany
"Rich ruby red. In the nose of ripe wild berries and plum, slightly spicy in the reverberation, complex nose. On the palate salty and with fine-grained tannin, fruity sweet, well balanced, has traction, long finish." - Falstaff
"The Guado al Tasso 2020 Bolgheri Rosso Cont'Ugo is a pure expression of Merlot that has absorbed the ripeness and softness of this hot vintage. Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc have a proven track record in these ever-more frequent warm vintages along the Tuscan coast, but early-ripening Merlot can sometimes come off as too ripe and jammy. This wine walks a fine line, and although it never shows excessive softness, you have to wonder how much further it can be pushed in light of climate change. Dark cherry and blackberry preserves cede to cedar and baking spice. The mouthfeel is round, soft and creamy." - Wine Advocate
"A fresh, tight and structured merlot with vibrant notes of olives, red plums, cherries, tobacco, orange zest and stones. Medium-bodied with chewy tannins. Lots of energy. 100% merlot. Drink after 2023." - James Suckling

Elena Fucci, Basilicata
Intense ruby color with garnet highlights, broad and complex bouquet with distinct spicy notes of pepper and fruit jam, currants and tobacco. Great aromatic finish with rich structure and marked youthful personality thanks to the even more pronounced spiciness and minerality. - Gerardo [TS01/21]
"Dark, bright rich garnet. On the nose of ripe wild berries, dried rose petal, a touch of marzipan, cinnamon, then ripe cherry again. On the palate then with crisp-grip tannin and nice density, mineral undertone, stretches far across the tongue, still very young, in the back course currently still drying a bit, should definitely still rest in the bottle." - Falstaff
"The 2020 is an incredibly pretty vintage for the Aglianico del Vulture Titolo by Amphora, as a cool-toned, almost-minty freshness gives way to zesty nuances of blackberry, sage and white pepper. This seems to hover across the palate, silky and opulent, yet almost weightless in feel, as a cascade of mineral-tinged black fruit is perfectly lifted by stimulating acidity and hints of sour citrus. It leaves behind a caking of fine tannins that seem to slowly crackle and fade away, as notes of red plum and licorice resonate for over a minute. Hands down, the 2020 is most engaging and complete vintage of Titolo by Amphora that I have ever tasted. Brava!" - Antonio Galloni (Vinous)

Gianni Tessari, Veneto
This elegant sparkling wine, produced according to the Metodo Classico (120 months), is based exclusively on grapes from the Lessini hills. The aroma is reminiscent of dried fruit, acacia and a hint of honey, underpinned by balanced acidity and minerality. The long bottle ageing in the estate's own underground caves contributes to the complexity of this sparkling wine, which can be tasted right through to the long finish. - Gerardo [TS01/14]
"Clean, crisp and complex, this vibrant sparkler offers aromas of spring blossoms, white stone fruit, citrus and flinty mineral. The radiant, bone-dry palate is loaded with energy, featuring Meyer lemon, ripe pear and tangy mineral notes of saline set against a refined, continuous perlage. It shows the depth of age and the freshness of a much younger wine. Drink through 2030." - Wine Enthusiast

Musella, Veneto
The Amarone is the leading actor from the house of Musella: rich ruby color, the aromatic arc is stretched between ripe wild berries, pepper and tobacco. Extremely concentrated without being opulent, the aroma of wood reminiscent of cigar box always remains discreetly in the background. - Gerardo [TS08/16]
"Overwhelming the Riserva, next to whose overripe fruit medicinal herbs, tobacco and a pretty mineral note find place; a delicious echo provides the taste, which impresses with solidity and resilience." - Gambero Rosso
'A lovely wine, displaying overall style and elegance, as well as a core of intriguing spice flavors that are wrapped into layers of cherry compote, damson plum preserves, dark chocolate shavings and spicy tobacco notes. There's fine integration here, with an overall vibrancy. The long, spicy finish shows just a hint of tannins." - Wine Spectator
'This fantastic Riserva Amarone opens with savory aromas of dark spice and black pepper followed by red fruit, cherry, dried apple, plum and raisin. There's a sweet note on the close followed by firm, polished tannins." - Wine Enthusiast

Palari, Sicily
The Faro shows a bright ruby color in the glass. The bouquet is fresh and complex, with extensive notes of cinnamon, black pepper, blueberries and cherries. The palate is rich and punchy, while balanced and of great persistence. - Gerardo [TS07/16]
"Noble, dark ruby with rusty brown reflections. In the nose balsamic-spicy, of wet stone, medicinal, reverberation of ripe cranberries. On the palate earthy-ferrous, opens with grip, clear fruit with a marked spicy course, has its own character, slightly drying on the finish, should be decanted beforehand." - Falstaff
"Intense garnet ruby red. More developed than in other versions, the nose has notes of strawberry jam, black currant, tamarind and ethereal hints of cherry brandy. Powerful on the palate, warm, with extended and velvety tannins, excellent length." - Daniele Cernilli (Doctor Wine)
"Mit seiner Struktur, Eleganz und Komplexität öffnet sich dieser überzeugende Wein mit Aromen von Waldbeeren, mediterraner Macchia, neuem Leder und einem Hauch von gepflügter Erde. Geschmeidig und umhüllend, zeigt der strahlende Gaumen eine große Tiefe an Aromen, darunter saftige rote Kirsche, zerdrückte Erdbeere und Lakritze, die durch eine anregende mineralische Spannung ausgeglichen werden. Er ist tadellos ausgewogen, mit straffen, raffinierten Tanninen und frischer Säure." - Wine Enthusiast

Badia a Coltibuono, Tuscany
The particular elegance and depth of this wine is given by the complex harmony of the nine grape varieties; the intensity, balance and harmony make it immediately enjoyable and long-lasting.
The soils of Monti in Chianti, calcareous clay of medium structure and the perfect location of the hill of Montebello give this wine strength and elegance. Nine historic grape varieties: Mammolo, Ciliegiolo, Pugnitello, Colorino, Sanforte, Malvasia Nera, Canaiolo, Foglia Tonda, Sangiovese. Each grape variety is vinified separately and aged in small barrels in the cellar, located in the heart of the vineyards, before being blended. Native yeasts and natural fermentation contribute to the expression of complexity and harmonious integration of the grape varieties. - Gerardo [TS01/17]
"Intense black pepper on the nose of this wine feels straight from the grinder, backed by cardamom pod, tree bark, cigar box, red berries, rose petals and finally chocolate. The palate is spicy and peppery like the nose. Acid highlights the heat before darker fruit, spices and bitter chocolate come out. It's long, deep and harmonious." - Wine Enthusiast
