The 2007 vintage in Italy stands shoulder to shoulder with the legendary 1990—a year spoken about in reverent tones by growers from Piemonte to Campania. It was a season defined by warmth, consistency, and extraordinary physiological ripeness without the loss of structure. A mild winter led to early budbreak, spring was dry and even, and summer brought heat that was steady rather than erratic. Crucially, diurnal shifts in September preserved acidity and aromatics. The result? Wines of richness and amplitude, yet with balance—silky tannins, deep color, and remarkable immediacy that has evolved into noble harmony with time. In Piemonte, estates such as Gaja crafted Barolo and Barbera of generosity and perfume; in Tuscany, icons like Antinori delivered monumental expressions in Solaia and Tignanello, while Brunello soared at properties such as Il Poggione. In Umbria, Paolo Bea captured Sagrantino at its most profound; in Campania, Taurasi reached near-mythic heights at Mastroberardino and Salvatore Molettieri. Across Veneto, Amarone ripened fully and evenly. It is exceedingly rare for virtually every major Italian region to declare the same greatness in the same year. 2007 did. Now, as we approach the vintage’s twentieth anniversary, this offering reads like a retrospective of Italian excellence—a cellar’s time capsule. These bottles were devoured upon release, tucked into private collections, and rarely re-emerge. To gather such a cross-section—from Super Tuscans to Barolo, Brunello, Amarone, Taurasi, and Sagrantino—is not simply a sale; it is a celebration of a benchmark year. For collectors and connoisseurs, this is a fleeting chance to secure wines that have matured into their full voice, many now nearly impossible to source.
