Nicodemi |
Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Colline Teramane 'Notari' |
The palate is mostly crushed dark berries, dirt and brush, but hints of fresh raspberries and strawberries provide a warming lift. On the palate, the earthiness crescendos through a bitter, warm, spicy finish that positively crackles with pepper. |

La Fiorita |
Brunello di Montalcino 'Riserva' |
The nose is meaty, earthy and dense with dried fruit, as aromas of dried cherries, dried figs and bitter orange jam layer over a herb-crusted grilled steak. The palate stays savory, but presents a super-saline contrast, with tangy, bright, crunchy fruit and cool saltwater flowing over rocks. |

Trentadue |
La Storia Cuvee 32' Alexander Valley |
Aromas of ripe raspberry, cinnamon and lemon zest burst from the glass on the nose of this Sangiovese- and Merlot-dominated blend. The palate has waves of berry, spice and herb flavors in a richly tannic framework softened by zesty acidity. While delicious now, this will be best from 2028. |

Nicodemi |
Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Colline Teramane Riserva 'Neromoro' |
A tart, spiced nose of chocolate, cloves, cardamom and sweet dark cherries foreshadows a palate where f lavors of spice, earth and berries mingle above a strong dark-chocolate foundation. Powerful tannins and hot, unapologetic acid create a balanced feel and ensure this wine will continue to develop. |

Merlot 'La Storia' Alexander Valley |
Dramatic aromas of chocolate-covered strawberries and candied raspberries jump from the glass on the nose of this wine. The palate brings a wash of vibrant cherry-lemon acidity and flavors of cocoa powder, licorice, cherry jam and cinnamon before a long finish with enough tannin for mid-term aging. |

Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 'Le Murate' |
The nose is fresh, cool and balanced, with aromas of tart blackberries, wild cherries, top soil, pepper, graphite and violets. On the palate, the blackberries ripen but stay tart, while those sophisticated, bitter earth tones contrast nicely. Substantial yet refined tannins provide structure and lithe acid brings a bolt of energy. Best Buy. |

La Fiorita |
Brunello di Montalcino 'Fiore di NO' |
On the nose, wild strawberries and raspberries are joined by a touch of passion fruit, ripe peach and Mandarin blossom, while on the palate that ripe, juicy stone fruit is contrasted with a peppery bite and fierce acid. |

Chianti Classico |
The nose opens saline and floral, with wet slate, crushed rocks and peonies, then intensifies with aromas of raspberry candy, sweet tobacco and wild oregano. The palate balances wild berries with savory earth tones, before a finish that crackles with a spicy, peppery heat. Best Buy. |
