Pale salmon color with delicate scents of raspberries and mushrooms. Rustic elegance and weighty complexity. Sourced from 130-year old Pinot Nero vines and bottled undisgorged after 2 years aging on the lees, this limited production sparkler is crisp, savory and unique. To open Movia's Puro, please view proper disgorging procedures.

Once considered to be a rather unexceptional, commonplace grape, Barbera's image began to undergo a significant change in the late 1970s. Now, several winemakers employ techniques that maximize the grape's virtues (such as aging in French barriques and sourcing grapes from premier sites). Piemonte producer Hilberg has maximized Barbera's makeover, fashioning a style that's been embraced by the cult market. Styled to be consumed young, this hard-to-find yet oh-so-easy-to-drink idol pairs well with a vast gastronomic line-up.

Resting near Panzano in the epicenter of Toscana's viticulture, Fontodi's vines enjoy a southern aspect, a position in a natural amphitheatre, and marl soil. These optimum conditions allow the grapes to ripen perfectly, therefore creating wines of great character and structure. The natural potential of the grapes combined with the leadership of Marco and Giovanni Manetti (cousins who are sons of the 1968 visionaries) makes for perfection in winemaking. The estate dates back to the 16th century, but her modern era started in 1968 when the Manettis, a Florentine family famous for more than three centuries for their terracotta production, purchased the estate.

Aromas of pineapple, dried apricot and vanilla bean. Full-bodied and fruit forward, almost a red wine in structure. Ribolla Gialla is one of Friuli's oldest indigenous vines, and enjoyed the distinction of serving as the drink of choice—under the name Rabiola del Collio—in the Republic of Venice. While virtually unknown to a modern audience, Josko Gravner authored a movement dedicated to its reclamation, endeavoring to comprehend this difficult varietal's character and nuances over a period spanning two decades. His work with Ribolla represents the achievement of which he is most proud.

Domenico commenced production in 1979, following a brief engagement in the olive oil business. He possesses holdings in some of Monforte d’Alba’s most esteemed crus, including Ginestra, Pajanà, and Mosconi, concentrating his efforts on single-vineyard expressions. This beautifully balanced Barolo is delectably rich. A single-vineyard bottling that expresses the merits of the Ginestra vineyard's distinctive high altitude site. Rich, but soft ripe fruit, with layers of violet, thick tannins and long, clean finish.
|
From the volcanic slopes of Campania, this little estate is a recent phenomenon. From the estate's vineyards come deeply concentrated aglianico, piedirosso, and other grapes such as cabernet sauvignon that are used to make this lone wine (with 80% of the blend coming from aglianico, the nebbiolo of the South). This is a black, brooding, long-aging red one of the south's very best wines. Compelling aromas of smoke, tar and dark fruits with superb intensity and depth.

This represents the debut offering of the 2006 Flaccianello from IWM and one of the first in the country. It is difficult to imagine this wine surpassing the performance from the 2004 and 2005 vintage. The two vintages remain among the fastest selling wines at IWM to date. But Fontodi, and the estate's proprietor Giovanni Manetti, have done it again. And like the 2004, the recent release is unquestionably a wine of longevity—the thick layers of rich black and red fruit make this wine deceivingly approachable, but it is just a tease of what is to come. Drink 2012-2025.
|
Not only is Guado al Tasso the Antinori for those in the know, it is also the flagship of Antinori's Bolgheri estate. Situated in Maremma on the Tuscan coast, 96km south-west of Florence, the Guado al Tasso estate extends from the green hills surrounding the old village of Bolgheri down to the sea. Guado al Tasso delivers substantive plum fruit on the palate, enriched by a secondary note of black pepper spice. The structure is attuned to the wine's flavor profile that ensures a balanced and complex expression.

Hofstatter's work with Pinot Nero is particularly esteemed, with the estate's single-vineyard Barthenau bottling—the product of intensive clone research, crafted with a view to maximizing the cru's distinctive terroir—holding benchmark status not only for Alto Adige but for Italy as a whole. The aging period comprises one year in small oak casks, followed by one year's maturation in large casks. This limited-production Pinot Nero (1,500 cases) is undeniably Burgundian in both philosophy and temperament.
|
The Grosjean Family has been making wines in the high alpine mountains since 1975, hand harvesting many of the grapes. The wines are then vinified mostly in stainless steel tanks with a small percentage in used oak barrels. The Torette is a blend of several grapes including Doucet, Fumin and Mayolet. It's a bright, lively red with fairly soft tannins that makes it a versatile match with a wide range of foods.

Vincenzo’s systematic changes have earned Valdicava a place among the elite producers of Brunello di Montalcino. With just 10 hectares in the coldest part of the Brunello zone, he is probably the most exacting grower in the area, managing vegetation so that each grape will enjoy the perfect amount of sun and mercilessly expunging tightly packed grapes to avoid rot and diseases. He has also rebuilt the cellar, where he replaced his grandparents’ botti with stainless steel and oak fermenters and new wood casks for ageing.
|
The Valle dell-Acate estate's dominant soil type, Milaro, is marked by a base of calcareous sandstone interwoven with clay that supports the area's indigenous grapes, including this Frappato. Light to medium-bodied with a memorable length, the wine has profound scents and flavors of berries, especially of raspberries, blackberries and blueberries.
