Brunello's Dream Team, Gaja's Take on Burgundy, 16 Year Old Barolo and MoreA Note from Sergio
When
I packed up my family and moved to Italy two years ago, I did it in
part because I missed the land where I was born, in part because I
wanted to give my children the experience of growing up as citizens of
the world, and in part because I wanted to be closer to the people who
make great wine. Living here, I've been able to make connections, grow
friendships, and unearth discoveries--and today's offerings exemplify
how connections, friendships and discoveries are inextricable.
Today,
I'm delighted to debut the wines of Renzo Seghesio, a maker of really
good Barolo. You might think you've heard of Seghesio, but you're
probably confusing this estate with another, either Piemonte's Aldo and
Riccardo Seghesio or Sonoma's Seghesia Vineyards.
Unless you've been very, very fortunate, you've likely never tasted
Renzo Seghesio's rustic but elegant Barolo because these wines have
never come to the States before.
We're offering three of Renzo's Pajana Barolo, including two Gran
Riserva from the mid-1990s, along with the estate's beautiful Baby
Barolo, its Langhe Nebbiolo, and its complex Super-Piemontese blend.
I'd
never have found Renzo were I not living in Italy, and, likewise, I'd
never be able to round up our all-star six-pack of 2006 and 2007
Brunello if I didn't have friends like Franco Biondi-Santi, whose rich
'06 anchors this collection.
Enjoy the fruits of my labors--I certainly do. It's my joy to bring you wines that I know will make you fall in love.
