The grapes are cultivated on selected terrain after careful clonal experimentation in order to produce the Camigliano Brunello di Montalcino 2015 with unparalleled elegance. Great wine with intense aromas and balanced tannins that is able to express all the characteristics of the “terroir” in quality and typicality in the selection of clones in addition to the choice of the sunniest terrain with the best location. A classy wine that promises an interesting evolution that will extend over time.  A wealth of fruit yet remains fresh and vivid with blueberry and black cherry character. Some bark and dried earth. Full body, integrated tannins and a flavorful finish. The elegance and harmonic body of the wine permit its combination with many complex and complicated dishes such as red meat, feathered and furry game also accompanied by mushrooms or truffles.
The Camigliano Brunello di Montalcino 2015, in addition, is excellent with cheeses: aged tomes, parmesan, Tuscan pecorino. It also makes an excellent combination with meat dishes of international cuisine or with complicated sauces. Because of its characteristics, Brunello is also a pleasant meditation wine. 94 Points – James Suckling.

For nearly 150 years, Curatolo Arini has built a distinct reputation for the expression and purity of their wines. The winery is still family owned, with 140 hectares in western and central Sicily, under the leadership of Roberto and Sergio Curatolo. Winemaking is advised upon by oenologist Alberto Antonini, who has worked previously with such producers as Antinori. As the oldest, continuously family-owned winery producing Marsala, Curatolo Arini crafts both dry and sweet wines, largely from single vineyards in such regions as Salemi, Trapani and – of course – Marsala. Bright ruby red color, this 100% Nero d’Avola is produced in the appassimento style from dried Nero d’Avola grapes, adding rich plum notes, spice and ripe body to the wine. Notes of ripe cherries, plums, violets and a touch of white pepper. Juicy, with soft tannins with a fresh fruity finish. Excellent for barbeque, pasta putanessca, ripe cheeses and roasted vegetables.

The San Biagio estate is located in Barolo within the famous Commune of La Morra. It was originally a Benedictine monastery (San Biagio Priory) and is listed in the village archives as far back as 1050 AD. The current winery was built alongside the original farmhouse in the year 2000 and features a modern vinification area, and a below ground cellar which provides the perfect surroundings for wines to mature. This delightful Barolo features complex aromas of berries, roses, jam and cooked plums. Dried figs, fresh picked mushrooms with hints of tobacco and leather, white pepper with a pleasant earthiness on the palate. Appealing spicy and balsamic overtones stand out in the more mature wine, especially star anise, liquorice, mushrooms and dried figs, as well as hints of tobacco and leather. Excellent with grilled steaks, wild game and rustic dishes.  92 Points – James Suckling.
