Made with 100% Nebbiolo from the Le Castelle vineyard. This vineyard has 35+ year old Nebbiolo vines planted in volcanic soil. The wine is aged for 36 months in a combination of French and Slavonian oak casks, plus another one year in bottle prior to release. Only 200 cases are made each year.
Antoniolo resides in the historic wine region of Gattinara within Piedmont. The winery was founded in 1948 and is currently operated by siblings Lorella and Alberto Antoniolo. The estate has 15 hectares under vine, with a majority of the plantings Nebbiolo plus an indigenous white grape called Erbaluce. Antoniolo is one of the best producers in the Gattinara region and is at least partially responsible for its growing modern prestige.
To quote Antonio Galloni: "Antoniolo remains a reference point for what Nebbiolo in northern Piedmont is all about. I can’t recommend these wines highly enough."
Gattinara itself is a historically great region for the Nebbiolo grape - in fact, the area predates Barolo in putting great Nebbiolo on the map.

Vinous.com Tasting Note (2015 Vintage)
93 Points - "Antoniolo’s 2015 Gattinara Riserva Le Castelle is laced with black cherry, plum, leather, spice, tobacco and incense, all of which bring out darker tonalities of Nebbiolo that hold considerable allure. The 2015 is deep and virile in style, and yet relatively soft contours (for a young Gattinara) give it quite a bit of appeal even in the early going"

Tignanello from Marchesi Antinori is consistently one of the most sought-after Super Tuscans around and for good reason: while this red wine does feature French grapes (both Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc), it is still Italian in heart and soul thanks to thanks to being lead by 70-80% Sangiovese (depending on the vintage). The Tignanello vineyard is a large one, with 57 hectares under vine with an average vine age of 20 years.

This is serious and cellar-worthy Brunello Di Montalcino from le Pottazzine that wine critics agree will easily last 15 to 20 years in the bottle - if you can manage to keep your hands off it that long!
"La Potazzine" was the nickname of the owner Gigiola Gianetti's mother had given her granddaughters as infants. Gigliola originally launched this Brunello with the 1997 vintage after acquiring small parcels of the vineyard over the previous five years. Since then this wine has gained tremendous prestige and plenty of impressive wine scores year after year.
This Brunello is aged for 42 months in Slavonian oak casks before bottling.
