ocean spray and clean salinity on the finish. The term U Pastine is from the local dialect indicating a very special product, appropriate for this rare white grape found only in Liguria. Lugano has saved several parcels from extinction and from which he creates a truly unique white wine that is delicate, lively and satisfying, filled with vibrant minerality; it is particularly delightful when married to the white-fleshed fish that frequent the shores of this part of Liguria … the bianchetti, the nasello and tiny, exquisitely flavored langostino.

LA Times: "Wine of the Week", April 27, 2013.
"Here's a Tuscan red that will roll with any summer menu. "Tre" is a blend of three grapes (mostly Sangiovese, with 10% each Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon) from Brancaia's three estates in Tuscany. The 2010, easygoing but with character and substance, conjures up the taste of blueberries and dark cherries and something darker and more earthy. Think of it as a strongly drawn secondary character. Maybe not the lead, but I'm happy to open a bottle for dinner at home with friends anytime.
Drink it with pasta fagioli, hearty pasta dishes or antipasti spreads. I'd drink it with meatloaf or a burger too." -S. Irene Virbila

Of all of the long-cultivated varieties, Pignolo is without doubt the most prestigious and refined native Friuli variety and is on the way to extinction. It is a highly distinctive wine; Read More...
in its shy mysterious taste, the flavour is almost hidden, as though it is fearful of being discovered.The Pignolo grape, another very rare, refined, prestigious and indigenous grape of the Fruili-Venezia Giulia region in North-Eastern Italy. This grape has the potential to make "Cru"level wines, like Bressan's Cru Pignol, a stunning example of what this grape can do when care is taken in the vineyards and the winery. According to Fulvio, the Pignol needs at least 8 years of aging to become a great wine. Elegant in body, fruity and reserved, the bottle opens with an inviting bouquet.

This is how the grape gained its nickname, Schioppetino,or “little rifle.” And this wine is an absolutely remarkable example of Schioppettino – with an incredibly complex noseof tobacco, black pepper, leather, and black raspberries supported by notes of sea-salt, musk, and sandlewood,this wine delivers all this plus more – miso, green tea, dark chocolate, etc. – on the remarkably long, satisfying andimpeccably-balanced palate.

“The 2006 Barolo Garblet Sue’ is massively tannic and powerful. As always, it is a taut, sinewy Barolo, but in 2006 the Garblet Sue’ is even more backward than is typically the case. Bright red fruit, smoke, tar, incense and iron are just some of the nuances that come together in this focused, potent Barolo. With air the frame fills out to some extent, but patience is the key. Brovia’s Garblet Sue’ is made from the Bricco Fiasco vineyard, just up the hill from the winery.” Anticipated maturity: 2021-2036.

WINE ADVOCATE 94 POINTS-The 2004 Brunello di Montalcino is simply beautiful. Now that the wine is in bottle it is even better than when I tasted it from barrel. Read More...
Firm but silky tannins frame a core of ripe dark fruit as this powerful yet elegant Brunello opens up in the glass. Smoke, cured meats, earthiness and graphite develop in the glass, adding further complexity. Sweet roses and spices linger on the long, refined finish. This is a big, structured Brunello, and like all of Abbruzzese's wines, it needs at least a few years of bottle age before it offers its finest drinking. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2024.

Grapes with a strong feature, good texture of the skin and excellent concentration in the pulp that give rise, through careful treatment of the Brunello wine Ugolaia, fermented in barrels for 18/20 days from 6 to 15 Hl. in compliance with the specification. Elegance, sinew, and race recognizable only in great vintages as a tangible sign of a good identity of the land.

that are found in this feminine, understated Brunello. Firm yet nicely integrated tannins accompany the fruit through to the finish. Camigliano’s Brunello is a perfect example of the dilemma that faces Montalcino. This is a perfectly delicious wine, but in a great vintage, Brunello should aspire to a higher level. The estate gave the Brunello 2 years in cask. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2024.

The Brunello Riserva Poggio Antico is only produced in exceptional vintages. In those years the grapes from the oldest and lowest altitude vineyard are processed and aged separately. Read More...
The Riserva is an intense ruby red, with garnet hues. Its bouquet is usually evolved and austere, with hints of wild berries, leather, and roasted coffee. In the mouth it has a fully developed rich structure, and is very elegant and smooth thanks to its rich tannins. It is extremely well balanced and rounded, with a persistent silky finish. A rather limited production, and dued to its characteristics, it is a wine for which further bottle aging is encouraged.
