Italy's Most Beloved Sparkling Red — Lambrusco Done Right

Famiglia Carafoli has been producing Lambrusco in Modena for three generations, with brothers Carlo, Paolo, and Mario carrying on the family legacy using a blend of cutting-edge techniques and meticulously restored traditional machinery. Nicchia — named after the late 19th-century Countess of Castiglione whose portrait graces the label — is the quintessential Lambrusco di Modena: frizzante, medium-sweet, and irresistibly food-friendly, with the bright acidity and low alcohol (8.5% ABV) that make it one of Italy's most versatile and enjoyable wines.

Winemaker Notes

Full ruby-red color with a lively frizzante sparkle. Fruity and fragrant on the nose with notes of black plum, cherry, and currants. A touch of sweetness on the palate is beautifully balanced by bright acidity, leading to a clean, lingering finish. Best enjoyed with a slight chill.

Brunello di Montalcino from One of Tuscany's Most Celebrated Estates

Castello Banfi has been one of Montalcino's most important estates since 1978, playing a pivotal role in elevating Brunello di Montalcino to its status as one of Italy's greatest wines. Their 2020 Brunello di Montalcino — 100% Sangiovese Grosso from the estate's vineyards in the southern reaches of the appellation — comes from a warm, generous vintage that produced wines of exceptional richness and approachability, with the structure and depth to age beautifully through 2045.

Expert Reviews

Expert Review - Vintage 2024

James Suckling 92 Points | White-pepper and apricot aromas dominate, slightly herbal in a positive way. Vibrant on the palate with medium body, weight and silkiness. Crisp, juicy finish.

Winemaker Description 

Pale yellow with green reflexes. Aroma : Fruity bouquet (apples and pears). Taste : Soft and full with a long A nish, elegant body, balanced acidity.

Expert Description

Bart Hopkins writes: Ampeleia Estate Unlitro is a light, earthy, natural blend of Alicante (Grenache), Mourvedre, Carignano, Sangiovese and Alicante Bouschet from the Tuscan Coast made by Biodynamic wine grower Elisabetta Foradori. The Ampeleia Estate consists of 150 hectares of which 35 are planted to vines and the remainder to wheat, legumes, vegetables, olive groves, woodlands and animals. This vivacious red, which boasts a modest 12% alcohol, sees no oak during production, keeping it agile, light on its feet and almost too easily quaffable.

Aromas of forest flowers, strawberry blossoms, earthy blood plums and delicate spices open up on the nose with crisp, peppery fruit refreshing the palate complimented by invigorating acidity and gentle tannins on the finish.

Not a trace of heaviness, just a pure, natural expression of organic grape growing and harmonious winemaking done with lots of love.

Serve chilled, pour generously, and pair it with just about anything! 

Expert Review - Vintage 2024

Winemaker's Description

To bring on the table a one-litre flask is an ancient tradition, and a symbol of conviviality. Hence the name Unlitro, a bottle whose shape and size recall the joy and carefreeness of being together.

This is a wine that comes from our youngest vineyard, the closest to the sea; from a blend of Alicante Nero, Mourvèdre, Sangiovese and Alicante Bouschet. It's a wine that testifies to our desire to express the territory in a more gentle and immediate way, without losing the character of a classic Tuscan wine.

But Unlitro is more than that: it is also a project created to bring together the forces of Tuscan winemakers closest to the values of Ampeleia and support them in the development of organic methods which combines respect and quality.

Memo Summary Notes

Varietals - Grenache, Cannonau, Garnacha, Carignano, Mourvedre, Sangiovese, Alicante Bouschet.

Organic, Biodynamic, Woman Winemaker

Winemaker Description

Costera shows the typicity of the Cannonau grape with flavors of very ripe strawberries, black cherries, herbs, and spices. The warmth and intense sunlight of southern Sardinia can be seen and felt in the wine with unexpectedly deep color and fullness on the palate. French oak barriques provide rounded tannins and flavors of vanilla.

Meat cooked over an open flame is an artform in Sardinia and specialties such as spit-roasted suckling pig or lamb seem perfect for the rich and complex flavors of Cannonau.

Expert Review - Vintage 2022

Vinous Eric Guido writes 89 Points | The 2022 Cannonau di Sardegna Costera greets the senses with a minty freshness before giving way to nuances of citrus-laced blackberry and spice scents. It opens with a balanced inner sweetness and ripe black fruit tones that swirl across a stream of lively acidity. Soft and enveloping, the 2022 finishes pleasantly dry with medium length, leaving violet inner florals to fade slowly. This represents fantastic value and is a perfect introduction to the Argiolas portfolio.  

Altesino's Brunello di Montalcino is a benchmark expression of Sangiovese Grosso from one of Tuscany's most storied estates. Brilliant ruby tending toward garnet with age, it opens with an intense, refined bouquet of sweet violet, tobacco, chocolate, wild berries, and vanilla. On the palate, it is full-bodied and well-structured, with firm yet balanced tannins and exceptional aging potential.

The first wine to receive Italy's DOCG appellation, Brunello di Montalcino is the ultimate ambassador of Italian fine wine. This 375ml half bottle is ideal for an intimate pairing or a first look at a cellar-worthy vintage.

Pairs beautifully with braised meats, wild boar, aged pecorino, truffles, and hearty Tuscan cuisine.

Producer Notes

Estate director Axel Heinz called 2020 ‘a classic Ornellaia,’ selecting ‘La Proporzione’ (proportion) as the theme to describe its character. The blend — 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Petit Verdot — marks a return to a more typical composition. Raised in 70% new French oak for 18 months, then 12 months in bottle prior to release. Fine-grained and beautifully textured, with finely integrated tannins supporting a concentration of black fruits lightened by red berries. Aromas of black cherry, liquorice, dark chocolate, cedar, and damp earth, with menthol and balsamic streaks imparting freshness. A stony, salty finish. Tight and moreish in its youth — best from 2026 through 2045.

Producer Notes

The Chianti Classico Riserva is central to Badia a Coltibuono’s vision and its deep relationship with place and history. Using the traditional blend of Sangiovese, Colorino, Canaiolo, and Ciliegiolo — propagated by massal selection — has always been the backbone of the wine. Modern techniques such as gravity vinification bring forth the best expression of the fruit, while traditional approaches — indigenous yeast fermentation and aging in oak casks rather than barriques — are central to its authenticity. The winery’s long-established certified organic practices are fundamental to the truly unique character of the grapes.

Sangiovese, Colorino, Canaiolo, Ciliegiolo.

Vinous 90 Points |  This is juicy in style and remarkably pure, with a subtle tinge of minerality and vividly ripe cherry-berry fruit notes that flow across a stream of fresh acidity. It tapers off crisp and only gently tannic yet poised with medium length.

The Icon of Super Tuscans — Tignanello at Its Finest

Few wines in the world carry the legacy and prestige of Tignanello. Created by Marchese Antinori in 1971, it was the wine that rewrote the rules of Italian winemaking — the first Sangiovese-based wine to be aged in small French oak barriques, and the first to blend Sangiovese with Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. The 2022 vintage is a stunning expression of this storied wine: concentrated and velvety, yet precise and energetic, with the hallmark Tignanello tension that rewards both immediate pleasure and long cellaring.

Expert Reviews - Vintage 2022

• Wine Advocate — 97 pts: "Rich and fruit-forward, the 2022 Tignanello very much respects the vintage. It delivers extra fruit weight with a velvety, satiny feel over a generous mouthfeel. Blackcurrant and cherry, with a mineral note that keeps things focused. A beautiful expression of the vintage, with excellent work done to execute soft tannins, texture and length."
• James Suckling — 96 pts: "There's extraordinary energy in this wine. A dark nose of black cherries, bramble fruit, violets, forest, licorice, bark, carob and leather. Density and tension dominate the full-bodied palate, with firm, velvety tannins. Crunchy and full of potential."
• Vinous — 95 pts: "Such an elegant, poised wine. Brisk acids cut through a core of red Sangiovese fruit. Crushed flowers, mint, cinnamon, rose petal and a kiss of French oak appear later, adding notable brightness. All the elements are very nicely balanced throughout."
• Decanter — 95 pts: "Succulent palate of good intensity. Well balanced and bright, with cashmere tannins supporting a core of sapid hedgerow berries outlined by crushed rock minerality and bitter herbs."
• Wine Spectator — 94 pts: "Rich texture wraps around plum, cherry, graphite, tobacco and earth flavors, with a line of dusty tannins underneath. Fresh, elegant and long. Best from 2027 through 2040."

James Suckling 92 Points | Aromas of pears and peaches with white flowers and hints of flinty minerality. Medium-bodied, round and mouthwatering with a tangy, citrusy aftertaste. Fresh and focused. Drink now.

Winemaker Description 

Intense straw yellow. Stand out characters of apricot, pear, apple, peach, citrus, green almond, with notes of sage and mineral scents. Excellent acidity, sensations that recall ripe fruits. Great structure and strong flavor.

The Mastroberardino family is responsible for the recovery and relaunch of the ancient “Greco” vine, in the process of extinction, the identification of the production area and its vinification in purity. The result of a rigorous selection of grapes, Novaserra, which has become a classic, expresses an organoleptic complexity never reached. On the label are reproduced the details of a painting by Raffaele De Rosa, made on one of the vaults of the aging caves.

The palate has a core of savory spice wrapped around drying wild red berries and Alpine herbs framed by well-placed tannins and electric acidity. A wine worthy of the cellar. Drink now–2040.”
• Vinous — 92 pts: “A bold, pungent Treiso Barbaresco. Wild cherry, spice, leather, tobacco and menthol are front and center in this wild, pleasantly rustic Barbaresco. There is certainly plenty of character here.”

Expert Review - Vintage 2024

Vinous 94 Points | The first of the two white wines, the 2024 Versante Nord is a blend of varieties sourced from six different vineyards at varying altitudes from the north side of the valley, which receives more sunlight during the day. This wine offers a wealth of power, with notes of salted pineapples, fresh sage, smoky earth, and saline. It’s bright with acidity, salinity, and a light wild side, though very well-managed. It had been bottled just three weeks earlier, so this tasting was a preview prior to its release. Drink over the coming 8-10 years.

Winemaker Description

Vibrant and mineral-driven white from the cooler northern slopes of Mt. Etna. Made from native Sicilian varieties grown on volcanic soils, it’s a wine of precision, tension, and layered complexity. Saline, citrusy, and full of energy, this is a must-try for lovers of terroir-expressive whites. A rising star from one of Etna’s most exciting young winemakers.

To get an idea of what this wine is, Eric Guido of Vinous Media said of last year’s vintage - 91 Points - A pretty blend of crushed yellow apples, lemon zest and ginger wafts up from the 2023 Uve Bianche Versant Nord. It splashes across the palate with tart orchard fruits and crunchy mineral tones enlivened by a core of sour citrus. Spice nuances embellish the close. This ends with a flowery concentration and sour lime, crisply refreshing yet potent and long. Fantastic.

Lively medium red. Pure, very refreshing aromas and flavors of raspberry, licorice and violet on the drop-dead gorgeous nose. Then sweet and pliant, boasting delightful energy and balance, with the red fruits and subtle herbal notes conveying a distinct coolness on the mineral, vibrant and very long finish.

Italy’s Most Powerful Grape, Mastered by Its Greatest Producer

Arnaldo Caprai is the definitive name in Sagrantino di Montefalco — the producer who put this ancient Umbrian grape on the world map. Their 2019 Collepiano is a benchmark expression: powerful, structured, and built for decades of aging, yet showing the signature Caprai touch of softness and texture that makes Sagrantino approachable even in its youth. Blackberry, spice, dark chocolate, and espresso — this is Italian red wine at its most serious.

Expert Reviews - Vintage 2019

• Robert Parker — 93 pts: “Shows that special Caprai touch that evokes softness and texture without going overboard. Striking that balance is incredibly difficult with a grape like Sagrantino that comes bursting out of the gate with power and often astringency. This wine is alive and fruity with a rich mouthfeel.”
• James Suckling — 92 pts: “Aromas of violet, red cherry and baked strawberry. Full-bodied with fine tannins. Lots of well-ripened red and black fruit with really nice, spicy complexity. Dark chocolate and espresso come through. Nicely layered.”

Winemaker Notes
