Vega Sicilia Pintia Toro 2018 750ml $79 special, 12 bottles available
Wine Advocate 95 Points “The nose is very expressive, with bright cherry fruit, and the wine is fresher than the norm in the region, with integrated alcohol and oak, reflecting a very cool year, floral and perfumed. The palate is medium-bodied and reveals very fine and elegant tannins. This has to be one of the finest vintages of Pintia.”

The Neri family has two new wines to present. The biggest news is the introduction of the top-shelf Brunello Di Montalcino Giovanni Neri. The wine—and the vineyard site—is named after Giacomo Neri’s dad, and fruit comes from a seven-hectare vineyard that was planted in 1973 by a farmer named “Tocci.” After many, many failed attempts, the Neri family was finally able to buy this gem in 2017, despite claims by the old farmer that “he would never sell.”
