ITALY š RED WINE CONT’D ALTO ADIGETRENTINO TERRE DI SAN LEONARDO 2022 IGT Vigneti delle Dolomiti

PUGLIA BOLLATO DI GUARINI NEGROAMARO/PRIMITIVO 2023 IGP Puglia (Famiglia Guarini) Some yeast, semi-bitter chocolate, rum. The palate begins very smoothly, then a firm, fine-grained tannin takes hold. The acidity is ripe but stable and the wine juices up well behind its firm tannin structure. Structurally very good length, aromatic with good length.

PIEDMONT MICHELE CHIARLO LE ORME BARBERA D’ASTI 2022 DOCG

TUSCANY BARBANERA ETERNO 2024 IGT Toscana Rosso

This “Le Orme” is made from Chiarlo’s four Barbera vineyards in Nizza, including the old vine La Court estate. It was aged for 16 months total with 4 months in large oak. Offered as the winery’s ready-to-drink Barbera, it is indeed fresh and fruit-forward. But it also displays considerable depth and typical Barbera character at this attractive price. Blackberry and plum aromas are easily coaxed out of the glass. The flavors are ripe and juicy but nicely held in check by soft tannins. Simply put: there is a lot of wine here for the money. Score: 91 (Norm Roby, wine reviewonline.com, March 5, 2025)

A stellar red in the Super Tuscan tradition, this wine is based on Cabernet and Sangiovese. It’s evocative of ripe red and black cherry and savoury herbs within a luxuriously smooth, elegant frame. Pair

with red meats or game. Full-bodied & Smooth 46105 (XD) 750 ml
