Two Best-Selling Brunellos

La Gerla & Lisini Arrive in September

You can tell a lot about a Brunello vintage by how early we start getting asked about it. In the case of the 2016s, well, let’s just say this is a pretty anticipated set of wines. A vintage that Wine Spectator described as “textbook”, the growing season yielded wines of elegance, freshness and harmony. More red fruited than Brunello’s excellent 2015 vintage, but offering similar levels of concentration, these are wines that are drinking beautifully young but will also age beautifully.

The Mosel’s Most Underrated Village?

Graach Greatness from Willi Schaefer

Willi Schaefer, one of the Mosel’s most celebrated producers, is known for crafting wines that are approachable when young with beautiful fruit components. However, like all of the valley’s finest exports, they always impress with the ability to maintain vitality and finesse for 15+ years.

Graach, where today’s featured wines hail from, is one of the finest villages in the Mosel. It is home to beautifully exposed blue slate vineyards, and its wines often show more white and green fruit when compared to Wehlen or Piesport.

Italian Treasure

Tua Rita’s 2010 Redigaffi

Do the ghosts of ancient Etruria see the wineries up and down the Livorno coast and shake their heads at the over-the-top glossiness? Or do they lament not having planted more vines themselves? It’s a beautiful area, dotted with ruins, though even those seem to be battling the spread of vineyards. While an important part of Tuscany, Bolgheri is known for their international varieties, with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon being the most important plantings.
