Italy - All Italian Wines
Italy, known as the "Land of Wine," is celebrated for its exquisite range of fine wines. With a winemaking history dating back thousands of years and a diverse array of terroirs, Italy offers a remarkable collection of wines that delight the senses and captivate wine enthusiasts worldwide.
In Tuscany, famous vineyards like Antinori, Marchesi di Frescobaldi, and Tenuta San Guido have become synonymous with excellence. Wines such as Brunello di Montalcino, Chianti Classico, and Super Tuscans like Sassicaia and Tignanello showcase the region's mastery in crafting complex, age-worthy, and expressive wines. Piedmont is home to legendary vineyards like Gaja, Vietti, and Marchesi di Barolo. The region's iconic wines, Barolo and Barbaresco, crafted from the Nebbiolo grape, epitomize power, elegance, and longevity. These wines boast flavors of red fruit, floral notes, earthy undertones, and firm tannins. Veneto, renowned for its sparkling Prosecco wines, is also famous for Amarone della Valpolicella. Vineyards like Allegrini and Quintarelli produce exceptional Amarone wines with concentrated flavors of dark fruit, spices, and a velvety texture. Sicily, the largest island in the Mediterranean, offers a different yet captivating expression of Italian wines. Vineyards like Planeta, Donnafugata, and Tasca d'Almerita craft remarkable wines from indigenous grape varieties such as Nero d'Avola and Nerello Mascalese. These wines exhibit intense fruit flavors, vibrant acidity, and a unique volcanic minerality.
These are just a few examples of the renowned vineyards and wines Italy has to offer. From the northern regions of Piedmont and Veneto to the central regions of Tuscany and Umbria, and down to the southern regions of Sicily and Puglia, Italy's wine regions are a treasure trove of exceptional wines. Experience the allure of Italian wines and immerse yourself in the rich history, diverse terroirs, and passionate winemaking that define the Italian wine scene. Whether you're sipping a prestigious Barolo, a refined Brunello di Montalcino, a refreshing Prosecco, or a bold Nero d'Avola, Italian wines promise a journey of flavors and a celebration of Italy's winemaking heritage.

Today, though, the tannins and acids are almost overpowering. Readers will find an old-school, classically austere Gattinara that needs 10-15 years to be at its best.

Vinous (98+)The 2018 Gattinara Molsino emerges from a relatively warm, sunny spot on the estate at 400 meters in elevation. It presents myriad shades of dark cherry/plum fruit, sage, menthol, new leather and dark spices. Potent and virile in the glass, the Molsino possesses tremendous drive as it builds into a deep, beautifully resonant finish that is utterly captivating. It's a remarkable effort for the first year in which Roberto Conterno and his team were in charge. The ambition is pretty clear. Molsino will soon be the Monfortino of Alto Piemonte. |

Nestled amidst olives and cypress trees, the low-yielding vines grow on marl and limestone soils, fostering a rich, complex character. The vinification involves traditional methods, including fermentation in stainless steel followed by maturing in French and Slavonian oak barrels. As a result, the Nittardi Chianti Classico Riserva 1990 promises a ruby-red allure with ripe fruit aromas, splendidly balanced by hints of liquorice, tobacco and black pepper. The balanced tannins and harmonious acidity lead to a long, lingering finish. A sheer epitome of Tuscan viticulture, this full-bodied vintage fulfils the refined palate of connoisseurs, continuing Nittardi's legacy of combining tradition and innovation in crafting world-class wines. |

Vinous (93)The 2017 Bramaterra is broad, ample and super expressive. The Bramaterra handles the richness of the vintage quite well. Sweet red cherry, blood orange, mint, spice and licorice all come alive with a bit of air. The 2017 is layered and yet retains the feeling of weightlessness that makes Alto Piemonte reds so compelling. There's plenty of character here, that much is clear. |

Vinous (90)The 2017 Lessona is pretty, if a bit forward. Sweet dried cherry, cinnamon, spice, orange peel and dried rose petal are nicely lifted in the glass. I would prefer to drink this over the next few years as it is already fading. |
