THE NEW RELEASE COLLECTION

ITALY – RED WINE CONT’D TUSCANY CASTELLI DEL GREVEPESA CLEMENTE VII CHIANTI CLASSICO 2021 DOCG This rich red boasts cherry, raspberry, pomegranate, floral and wild herb aromas and flavors. Dense, chewy tannins reveal themselves as this plays out on the long, mineral finish, driven by racy acidity. Drink now through 2036. Score: 92 (Bruce Sanderson, winespectator.com, Oct. 15, 2024) Full-bodied & Firm 421388 (XD) 750 ml $24.95 2 ... 44% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Cabernet Franc and 25% Merlot ... I was prepared for more overt ripeness but instead was greeted by a delightful mineral note of graphite or lead pencil that gives much needed contouring to this full-bodied Tuscan red. The wine is velvety and richly textured at its core, but it is also seamless with very pleasurable sweetness. All new oak adds hints of vanilla and spice. If you follow this wine, you’ll notice that the percentage of Cabernet Franc has been increasing in tiny notches over the years ... Drink date: 2026- 2048. Score: 96 (Monica Larner, robertparker.com, Feb. 13, 2025) Full-bodied & Firm 986380 (XD) 750 ml $203.95 3 ANTINORI GUADO AL TASSO 2022 DOC Bolgheri Superiore

RICASOLI BROLIO RISERVA CHIANTI CLASSICO 2021 DOCG, sustainable

The nose has both the tang of black cherries and blackberries and the texture of coffee grinds, pepper and earth. The mouthfilling palate stays balanced between tart and sweet berries and tangy, peppery earthiness, all set aflame by fiery acid but held in careful balance by decisive tannins. [This will continue to develop into the early-to- mid 2030s.] Score: 93 (Danielle Callegari, Wine Enthusiast , Dec. 1, 2024) Full-bodied & Firm 418822 (XD) 750 ml $29.95 2

Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Best from 2026 through 2038. [Decant for a minimum of one hour to enjoy this beauty tonight.] Score: 90 (Bruce Sanderson, winespectator.com, June 16, 2025) Full-bodied & Firm 930966 (XD) 750 ml $26.95 2
