We have always been committed to emphasizing uniqueness. This concept is expressed in the production of a Chianti using only Sangiovese grapes grown within a single vineyard. The sandy soil rich in calcium carbonate gives a floral bouquet, with notes of berries, violets, and Mediterranean spices. On the palate it is dry, harmonious, savory, and velvety at the same time.

Tasting Notes

Color: intense ruby red

Bouquet: hints of ripe blackberry, thyme and cocoa

Taste: the palate is fresh and complex, with mineral and fruity notes. The finish is smooth and persistent

  • Elio Altare Barolo Unoperuno DOCG

    2016 Elio Altare Barolo Unoperuno DOCG
    € 306,00 NO VAT (private collection)

    The 2016 Barolo Unoperuno explodes from the glass with striking aromatic intensity, inner perfume and brilliant fruit. The 2016 is a blend of co-fermented fruit from Arborina, Cerretta, Cannubi and Liste, bringing together elements of traditional and modern schools in a gorgeous Barolo that hits all the right notes. In a word: stunning!

  • Château Mouton Rothschild 1er Grand Cru Classé

    2016 Château Mouton Rothschild 1er Grand Cru Classé
    € 981,00 NO VAT (private collection)

    The 2016 Mouton Rothschild bowled me over when I tasted it from barrel. Philippe Dhalluin compares it to the 1986 in terms of intensity of fruit, although there is more maturity and refinement in the tannins apropos of the 2016. Bottled in July 2018, this has an intense bouquet with pixelated black fruit, crushed stone, hints of blue fruit and a touch of India ink. But it is the delineation and focus that take your breath away. The palate is medium-bodied with very supple tannin framing the pure black currant and cassis fruit. The acidity is pitch-perfect, and there is a gentle but insistent grip toward the extraordinarily long finish. Racking my brains to think of another Mouton Rothschild that I have tasted over the last 20 years that was as good as this, I simply cannot come up with one.

    A towering, thrilling wine, the 2016 Mouton Rothschild is unbelievably beautiful today. Aromatics, fruit density and vertical structure all come together. In the glass, the 2016 is remarkably vivid and powerful, and yet a gentler, more feminine side emerges with time in the glass. The intense, mineral, savory profile recalls the 1986, but the 2016 has more grace, inner sweetness and sophistication than that wine. Even so, the 2016 is going to need at least a number of years in bottle before it starts drinking well, although it won't be the bruiser the 1986 remains to this day. This is breathtaking wine from Mouton, Tecnical Director Philippe Dhalluin and his team.

  • Bruno Giacosa Barolo Riserva Falletto Vigna Le Rocche DOCG

    2016 Bruno Giacosa Barolo Riserva Falletto Vigna Le Rocche DOCG
    € 749,00 NO VAT (private collection) Deep ruby red with light red rim. On the nose redcurrant, plum, exciting brown spices, menthol, marzipan, liquorice and balsamic notes. On the palate, a beautiful breadth with a vibrant finish, this beautiful wine flows almost weightlessly and reveals a cornucopia of dark berries, some truffle and a fine mineral note as it continues to drink. The sweet tannins combine ideally with the explosive fruit and in the end, this exceptional vintage leaves such a clear, sparkling clean impression that one can almost breathlessly await its further developmentAdd to cart
  • Giacomo Conterno Barolo Riserva Monfortino DOCG

    2015 Giacomo Conterno Barolo Riserva Monfortino DOCG
    € 1.512,50 NO VAT (private collection)

    The 2015 Barolo Riserva Monfortino is magical. This is the first vintage that includes fruit from Arione, so the 2015 is 80% Francia and 20% Arione. That marks a return to Monfortino as a multi-vineyard wine, which it mostly was until 1978, when the first Monfortino from Francia was made. The combination of sites works so well. I remember tasting the 2015 as separate components and seeing what exactly the Arione piece adds, and that is aromatic explosiveness, texture and breadth. Rose petal, mint, sage, tobacco and cedar lend complexity. More than anything else, though, I am blown away by how utterly delicious the 2015 is. Of course, the 2015 will be better in time, but its pedigree is plainly evident today. Roberto Conterno gave the 2015 just five years in cask, the shortest time in wood for any Monfortino in recent memory, maybe ever. Like most producers around the world, Conterno is thinking deeply about what the optimal period of time in oak is. As for the 2015, it is a flat-out stunner in every way.
