Why choose this box Six distinguished wines from across Italy for the most important holiday meals: Tuscany, Piedmont and Umbria at their finest, brought together in a single collector's selection.
CastelGiocondo — Brunello di Montalcino DOCG, Frescobaldi Pure Sangiovese Brunello from Frescobaldi's estate vineyards in the Montalcino area. Intense ruby color with garnet reflections, complex bouquet of berries, ripe cherry, spices, tobacco and licorice, with a solid structure and silky tannins. Excellent aging potential, designed to pair with red meat, game and fine aged cheeses — the estate's benchmark Brunello.
Barolo DOCG Ginestra Casa Matè — Elio Grasso Barolo made from Nebbiolo grapes grown sustainably in Piedmont, aged in Slavonian oak barrels and then rested for 8-10 months before release. Complex bouquet of red fruit and spices, with hints of leather, tobacco and wet earth. Elegant tannins, lively acidity and remarkable persistence. A Barolo for contemplation, meant to be sipped slowly on the most important occasions.
Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2019 — Ridolfi Brunello from the Peretti family, 100% Sangiovese, aged for 36 months in Slavonian oak casks and at least 12 months in bottle. The vineyards in the cooler part of Montalcino soften the warm tendencies of the Vintage, giving it a restrained, modern style. Floral notes on the nose, a juicy, light-bodied palate with balanced oak — a Brunello made for both hearty dishes and contemplative sipping.
Gorgona Rosso Edizione Limitata 2022 — Frescobaldi From a unique project in Europe: the vineyard on the prison island of Gorgona, cultivated by inmates under the supervision of Frescobaldi agronomists and winemakers as part of a reintegration program. Sangiovese and Vermentino Nero, organically farmed and aged in terracotta jars. Bright, vivid color, notes of ripe red fruit, myrtle, juniper and rosemary, and velvety tannins. A red wine that also brings a story of second chances to the table.
Sagrantino di Montefalco DOCG “25 Anni” — Arnaldo Caprai First produced in 1993 to celebrate the winery’s 25th anniversary, this is the pinnacle of Arnaldo Caprai’s production: 100% Sagrantino, aged for 24 months in French oak barriques and at least 8 months in bottle. Complex aromas of blackberry jam, rose, nutmeg and cocoa, with a smooth palate and elegant tannins. A wine with aging potential well beyond twenty years.
Amarone della Valpolicella — Antonio Castagnedi, Tenuta Sant'Antonio The same Amarone from Veneto as in the “Discover Italy” box, here alongside the great reds of Tuscany and Piedmont: grapes dried using the traditional method, an intense ruby color, a bouquet of cherry and ripe plum with licorice and dark chocolate, soft tannins and a warm, lingering finish — the seal of Veneto on a table that tells the story of Italy at its finest.
