Think of Rosso di Montalcino as the baby brother to Brunello. Whereas Brunello must be in oak for a minimum of three years, the Rosso spends 18 months in barrel. They are generally ready to drink upon release whereas young Brunello always benefits from time in the cellar. It offers a classic core of sweet black cherry fruit and cassis with smoky undertones, a polished gem of a wine.

The Fossacolle estate is a small, family-owned winery, located near the village of Tavernelle, in Italy's famous Tuscany wine region. Rosso di Montalcino is a sort of little brother to Brunello di Montalcino, and the idea behind it is to offer a fresher style of wine that needs less aging time than a Brunello. Like Brunello, this easy-to-drink red is also made from Sangiovese.

THE PROJECT: The largest volcano in Europe – symbol of nature’s ardour and an ancient and tenacious viniculture – is the place that brothers Diego and Alberto Cusumano have chosen together with their father Francesco for their new and impassioned challenge: to create wines that express the quality and character of a unique land.
After years of searching, there appeared in April 2013 a unique opportunity to acquire the first three contrade on the northern slopes of Etna. A continually evolving project that began with the reconstruction of the traditional dry stone walls of the terraces of Guardiola – the contrada (district) whose stunning beauty nurtures the underlying motivation and inspiration and whose name is given to the entire project: ALTA MORA.tion of the traditional dry stone walls of the terraces of Guardiola – the contrada (district) whose stunning beauty nurtures the underlying motivation and inspiration and whose name is given to the entire project: ALTA MORA.

The Lacyrma Christi from Terredora is a red wine made from 100% Piedirosso harvested selected vineyards on the slopes of Vesuvius.
This winery begins with a tale of two brothers - Walter and Antonio Mastroberardino -who parted ways, with Antonio acquiring the winery and Walter acquiring the vineyards (renamed as Terradora). The Terredora di Paolo estate is located on the hills of Irpinia surrounding the valleys of the Sabato and Calore rivers. With about 180 hectares of vineyards, they rank among the most prestigious producers in Southern Italy. The South of Italy is one of the most interesting wine areas in the country and Campania, and especially the Irpinia region, produces wines from native grape varieties such as Aglianico, Fiano, Greco, Piedirosso and Falanghina, all of which are brimming with personality. Aglianico has been called the Barolo of the South for its power and its ability to age for many years. We have just received their Irpinia Aglianico, Falanghina, Rosato, and Lacryma Cristi Rosso (made from Piedirosso).

This organic IGT Tuscan red from La Torre is made of 40% Alicante, 30% Sangiovese, and 30% Ciliegiolo grown on a south-facing vineyard within Montalcino. After fermentation using the natural yeast of the grapes themselves, the wine is aged for one year in smaller oak casks. Only 2600 bottles of this wine are made annually. There was a time when a blend such as this would have been dubbed a "super Tuscan" as the inclusion of any grapes not indigenous to the respective regions was not permitted in any of Italy's DOC or DOCG wines. Wineries forged ahead anyway which eventually led to the creation of the IGT (indicazione geografica tipica, basically "typical of the region") category. The Alicante Bouschet - a French varietal - adds backbone and grip to wine, the end result being a gutsy red but with plush tannins in a core of blackberry and cherry fruit.
