THE NEW RELEASE COLLECTION

ITALY – RED WINE CONT’D TUSCANY TENUTE SILVIO NARDI BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO 2019 DOCG ... a layered and generous wine with black fruit, cherry, spice and a hint of Provençal mixed herbs on black olive. There are further hints of under brush, crushed slate, petrichor from schistic soils, and toasted almond that adds some sweetness from French oak. The tannins are velvety and soft, but this wine is regularly balanced throughout. Drink date: 2025-2040. Score: 94 (Monica Larner, robertparker.com, Dec. 14, 2023) Full-bodied & Smooth 922054 (XD) 750 ml $53.95 2 Featured in Inimitable Italy UMBRIA LUNGAROTTI ROSSO DI MONTEFALCO 2021 DOC Fresh-picked cherries and wild raspberries mingle with dried thyme and purple garden flowers, creating an aroma that feels like a morning stroll through an Umbrian hillside. Red currants lead a parade of bright fruit across the palate, while Mediterranean herbs add savory depth, all carried by zippy acidity and fine tannins that grip just right. Score: 91 (Jeff Porter, Wine Enthusiast , July 1, 2025) Full-bodied & Firm 577668 (XD) 750 ml $30.95 2 Featured in Inimitable Italy 4 Organic product VENETO BRIGALDARA CAVOLO AMARONE DELLA VALPOLICELLA 2019 DOCG, sustainable ... remarkably pretty bouquet of dusty roses, shavings of cedar and cocoa-dusted black cherries. This is soothingly round yet energetic, with fresh acidity and bright wild berry fruits that swirl as hints of espresso bean and dark chocolate add a bitter bite ... Always more approachable in its youth, the Cavolo is an overachiever today but amply balanced for the cellar. Drinking window: 2026-2040.
