Proprietary Blend from Italy

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 93 points: 93+ Fully saturated deep ruby. Leafy nuances and notes of sassafras dominate the deep but youthfully reticent dark red fruit on the nose. Then smooth and dense, with forward flavors of red cherry, dark plum, cassis, and...

jamessuckling.com, 97 points: This is a very sleek and racy wine with lots of stone, white pepper and fresh rosemary character. Then takes off with dried ripe fruits such as currants and blueberries. Dark chocolate too. This a real mouthful yet...

jamessuckling.com, 93 points: This is a firm and bright wine with aromas of dark fruits such as blackberries and raspberries that follow through to a full body, silky tannins and a polished yet chewy finish. Give it until 2015 to soften a little and...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: The 2010 Taurasi Riserva Piano di Montevergine is a standout wine that excels on all fronts. The bouquet delivers an enormous level of harmony and intensity with well-articulated tones of spice, dark fruit, pressed...

jamessuckling.com, 96 points: Sexy blueberry, spice and black pepper. Mushroom. Full body and ultra-fine tannins. Extremely long and just starting to come around now. Needs a little more time in bottle. Splendid finish. Try in 2019 but already amazing.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: The 2007 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico was bottled seven months before I tasted it. Grapes undergo a four-month appassimento for extra concentration and intensity. Despite this heavy-handed winemaking technique (in...

jamessuckling.com, 94 points: Lots of dark fruits and spices on the nose follow through to a full body, velvety, ripe tannins and a long, flavorful, rich, decadent finish. Delicious, opulent red. Drink now.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 98 points: The 2007 d’Alceo shows none of the Sammarco’s early appeal. It is a dark, inward wine imbued with black fruit, roasted coffee beans, grilled herbs and licorice, all of which build effortlessly towards the huge, explosive...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: San Leonardo was not produced in 2009. The 2010 San Leonardo (Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenère and Merlot) is a seamless and polished wine that shows the best of this estate and this vintage. This is a profound and lasting...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: The flagship estate wine, 2010 Monteverro, is absolutely stunning. The blend is Cabernet Sauvignon (45%), Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Vineyards are located on a soft incline at the foot of Capalbio facing the...

Wine Spectator, 90 points: Traditional in style and elegant, this is aromatic, with dried herb and floral notes, accented by graphite and spice. A balanced red, expressive without excessive weight. The fine-grained tannins are layered with flavors...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 93 points: The 2013 Valletta is a blend of equal parts Sangiovese and Merlot from the Bär family's holdings in Panzano, just a stone's throw away from Rampolla. Black cherry, plum, lavender, mint and spice all meld together in an...

jamessuckling.com, 97 points: Wow. This is a stylish young red with currant, light herb, spice and bark aromas and flavors. Medium to full body, firm and silky tannins and a fresh finish. Balanced and attractive now but better in 2020. A classic as...

jamessuckling.com, 94 points: Aromas of blueberries and blackberries with hints of minerals. Full body, very fine tannins with orange peel and currant character. Chewy yet polished tannins. Better in 2018 but already delicious. Impressive for the...
