A Gran Selezione Indeed 

Italy

Castello di Ama L’Apparita Toscana IGT, Tuscany 2018 750ml $245 special, 6 bottles in stock 
Wine Advocate 99 points “This wine has earned its spot in a world of pantheons that is grande vini Italiani. The Castello di Ama 2018 L’Apparita is one of the world’s greatest Merlots, and this slightly cooler growing season delivers on all the promise and pedigree that we should expect of this collectors’ favorite. L’Apparita opens to an inky dark and blackish appearance, and the bouquet slowly reveals black fruit, ripe cherry, dark spice, smoke and barbecue rub. The wine’s texture and finish, which is so velvety and rich, so supple and soft, is what will ultimately win you over.

 

Here, there, not everywhere. 

From bold Chateneauneuf-du-Papes, to fruity Californian styled Grenaches, this grape has made a name for itself in warm wine regions around the world.

Have you ever tasted Vin Santo? 

If not, then now is the time to try it. Vin Santo is an Italian dessert wine predominantly produced in Tuscany. It’s sweet and viscous, the perfect dessert wine. Expect notes of hazelnut, marzipan, caramel, honey, and dried apricot. 

Vin Santo has a rich history dating back to Antiquity. What makes this wine so special is the traditional method of production. To make Vin Santo, grapes first go through a process called “passito”, essentially laying out the grapes and setting them to dry for months. When the grapes have transformed into raisins they are put into small casks which is where the fermentation begins.
