Bucci Bucci Classico” Verdicchio Classico dei Castelli di Jesi DOC Classico Superiore 2021 Wine Enthusiast 01/04/2023 90
Verbiage

Subtle at first, this wine begins to reveal itself after a few minutes in the glass. This Verdicchio transports you to the green hills of the Marche, offering aromas of wild herbs, ripe orchard fruit and apple blossom. The palate is mineral driven, with fruit and savory flavors providing support. It finishes with bright and refreshing acidity, making this a great wine to go with sushi and/or crudo

Supremus Supremus Toscana IGT 2017 Wine Enthusiast 01/04/2023 93
Verbiage

Savory, sweet and perfumed, the nose on this wine gives dark chocolate, dried figs and old leather. Juicy and berry rich, the palate conveys strawberries, cherries, more figs and more chocolate. Tannins make themselves felt and an acid kick is here, for a wine that’s lush but not spineless. – Danielle Callegari

Poderi Einaudi Barolo Cannubi DOCG 2019 Wine Spectator 31/03/2023 93
Verbiage

Broad and rich, exhibiting plum, cherry, earth and underbrush aromas and flavors. Reveals a dense matrix of tannins that lend support, with lively acidity. This finds nice equilibrium in the end, where a vestige of ripe Nebbiolo fruit lingers. Best from 2027 through 2046

Poderi Einaudi Barolo “Terlo Vigna Costa Grimaldi” DOCG 2019 Wine Spectator 31/03/2023 94
Verbiage

A slightly austere red, with a core of pure cherry buried within a dense texture and a tannic structure. Though tightly wound, this shows concentrated fruit, along with iron, tobacco, tar and eucalyptus flavors. Best from 2027 through 2049.

Poderi Einaudi Barolo “Bussia” DOCG 2019 Wine Spectator 31/03/2023 93
Verbiage

Shows serious grip, courtesy of dense, assertive tannins, with cherry, grass, iron and tobacco notes holding court, while vivid acidity keeps everything focused. The fruit returns on the austere finish. Best from 2027 through 2045

Poderi Einaudi Barolo Ludo DOCG 2019 Wine Spectator 31/03/2023 93
Verbiage

Bright and well- delineated, exuding cherry, strawberry, rose and earth flavors. Turns firm and tightly wound from mid-palate through the finish, showing the austerity of the vintage. There’s plenty here, but this just needs time. Best from 2026 through 2045.

Poderi Einaudi Barolo Monvigliero DOCG 2019 Wine Spectator 31/03/2023 93
Verbiage

Sleek and firmly built, this red offers cherry, plum, earth and eucalyptus flavors. Ripe and balanced, ending with hints of licorice and tobacco. Compact finish for now, with vivid acidity. Best from 2026 through 2043.

Marcarini Barolo Del Comune di La Morra DOCG 2019 Kerin O'Keefe 31/03/2023 95
Verbiage

Made with grapes from the estate’s Brunate and La Serra crus, this opens with lovely scents recalling blue flower and baked plum. Smooth and delicious, the palate offers ripe red cherry, crushed raspberry and baking spice alongside polished tannins. Drink through 2034. – Kerin O’Keefe, March 2023

Dal Cero in Valpolicella Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG 2017 James Suckling 17/03/2023 93
Verbiage

A pleasant Amarone with aromas and flavors of prunes and vanilla custard. Notes of coffee and chocolate, too. Full-bodied, but with a less weighty feel than some. The lightly chewy tannins break up the flow a little, suggesting that this still needs a bit of time to even out. Try from 2025.

A nation uniting great wine and great food.

Fine people and fine places.
