2007 Terre del Principe Castello del Femmine
2007 Terre del Principe Castello del Femmine  

According to Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "Proprietor Peppe Mancini co-founded the Vestini Campagnano winery, but left in 2003 to pursue his own project, Terra del Principe. Mancini is largely responsible for the resurgence of interest in three of Campania's indigenous varieties; Pallagrello Bianco, Pallagrello Nero and Casavecchia, ancient grapes that were once prized by prior generations but were allowed to lapse into obscurity. Mancini's first career was the law, but he and his wife Manuela Piancastelli, a respected local journalist, seem to have fo... Read More »

2007 Posta Arignano San Severo Rosso Puglia
2007 Posta Arignano San Severo Rosso Puglia  

This winery, newly imported by K&L, is located in the far northern portion of Puglia (the heel of Italy’s boot) near the town of Foggia, which runs a bit cooler than the lower-altitude zones of this sun-baked land. The 2007 Posta Arignano San Severo Rosso is 80% Montepulciano and 20% Sangiovese, and in a word, it is luscious. Such balance and vibrancy, this one is exciting, animated and very friendly to drink. Loads of fruit, richness (always balanced) and gusto that is just wonderful to enjoy now. Spaghetti Bolognese, grilled meats and lasagne would be ... Read More »

Full-bodied, with well-integrated tannins and a long, balanced, dark chocolate-tinged finish. Lots of toasted oak and ripe fruit. Still needs to come together, yet such potential. Best after 2003."

Collestefano is situated in a hilly belt in the hinterland of the Marches, 420 m above sea-level. This narrow land is watered by the Esino river and bounded on the east and on the west by the mountain range of the Appennini Umbro-Marchigiani (1479 m above sea-level).

The farmhouse and cellars date back to 1815 and are surrounded by the organically cultivated vineyards, where for centuries the traditions of winemaking have been handed down from generation to generation.

2007 Agostino Pavia Barbera d'Asti Bricco Blina
2007 Agostino Pavia Barbera d'Asti Bricco Blina  

Agostino Pavia and his sons Giuseppe ('Pino') and Mauro make two styles of Barbera from two different single vineyards, less than five thousand cases in all. Barbera d'Asti used to have a reputation for having acidity like that of a car battery, apparently due to high yields and an occasional lack of malolactic fermentation. These wines are different, zesty but balanced, with luscious fruit to match the acidity. 'Bricco Blina' is the name of the vineyard. This wine is a direct, straightforward rendition of the Barbera grape. Fresh acidity and berry flavo... Read More »

Elio Grasso is one of the best producers of Barolo. His estate, a beautiful house and cellar surrounded by improbably steep vineyards, is outside the town of Monforte, on the eastern side of the Barolo appellation. Elio works mostly in the vineyards, increasingly leaving the cellar work to his son Gianluca, who recently graduated from the enology school in Alba. The Gavarini vineyard is wholly owned by the Grasso's. It produces this elegant, value-priced red. A dead ringer for a fine Barolo, and offered at a fraction of the price!

1999 Villa Pillo Vin Santo 375ml
1999 Villa Pillo Vin Santo 375ml  

It's not easy making Vin Santo. For starters the grapes (trebbiano and malvasia) are left to dry slowly in a special outbuilding, which concentrates the sugar and flavor component considerably. What little juice is left after this process is fermented and stored in very small casks called caratelli, which are filled just three-fourths of the way. And then time stands still. For four years the wine oxidizes and ages, and then: Perfection! Villa Pillo's Vin Santo is an archetypal example of Tuscany's after dinner sipper. Ideal with biscotto at the close of...

2008 Pacherhof Grüner Veltliner Valle Isarco
2008 Pacherhof Grüner Veltliner Valle Isarco  

91 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2008 Gruner Veltliner is another superb white. This is one of the more complete wines in the line up as it offers both gorgeous aromatics but is backed up with terrific depth and richness in its fruit. Passion fruit, lime, flowers and spices all come together in this superb, complex and subtle Gruner. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2012" (10/09) Antonio Galloni ...

2004 Oddero Barolo "Villero"
2004 Oddero Barolo "Villero"  

92 points Wine Spectator: "Beautiful aromas of milk chocolate, plum and berries follow through to a full body, with layered, soft tannins and a long finish. This has lots of flavor and texture. Best after 2012. 340 cases made." (12/08) One of my favorite Barolo wineries, Oddero is a traditionalist and makes wines of classic style. They use big Slavonian oak barrels instead of the small French oak barrels, looking more for unadulterated purity in their wines than manipulation. The Oddero Barolo Villero is tremendous, from one of the best vineyards in Cas... Read More »

2004 Castello di Verduno Barbaresco
2004 Castello di Verduno Barbaresco

Finally, a value priced Barbaresco that really hits the spot: great vineyards, talented winemaking, large well-maintained barrels, long macerations, and more than the minimum time in wood. Castello di Verduno is run by Mario Andron, a young winemaker with great respect for the traditional method of making big Nebbiolo. His straight Barbaresco is just outstanding. From vineyards in Rabaja, Rabaja' bass and Faset aged for 17 months in large Slavonian oak.

2007 Romanelli "Predara" Rosso Umbria IGT
2007 Romanelli "Predara" Rosso Umbria IGT  

Umbria has always rivaled Tuscany in terms of natural beauty, the preponderance of picturesque hill towns and delicious local foodstuff. Nowadays, Umbria is also giving Tuscan wines a run for their money, producing reds from Sangiovese to excellent effect, and for considerably less money than its well-heeled neighbor. Predara is the name of the area in San Clemente of Montefalco where this forward-thinking winery is located. Sangiovese makes up the bulk of this red, with 12% Sagrantino and 8% Merlot, all harvested by hand, meticulously vinified and aged ... Read More »

2004 La Poderina Brunello di Montalcino  

93 points Wine Spectator: "Blackberries and black cherries on the nose follow through to a full body, with soft and silky tannins. Long finish. Best after 2011." (Web only, 2009) 92 points Wine Enthusiast: "Modern, plush and deeply penetrating. la Poderina is a well-crafted wine that shows beautiful aromas of blackberry, spice and cured meat.
