Casanova di Neri & Fontodi

 
We’re placing two of the most elite producers in Tuscany on sale now: Casanova di Neri in Brunello and Fontodi in Chianti. Not familiar? Let’s explore!
 
Casanova di Neri
 
Casanova di Neri is one of Italy’s truly elite modern producers—an icon of Brunello. Their Tenuta Nuova and Cerretalto are profound, highly-sought after wines. The Cerretalto is an event of a wine.  Produced only in the best years, with extra aging before release, it’s one of the true landmark wines of Italy.

Marc Hébrart
 
Marc Hébrart wines emphasizedbalance over power, and while there is plenty of complexity in his bottlings, they’re always drinkable and delightful. Peter Liem, author of the authoritative book Champagne, writes, “Hébrart’s wines have a broad appeal: if you like to think about your wines, they’re intellectually engaging enough to satisfy you; on the other hand, if you’re just looking to drink, they’re simply delicious. The wines are full and generous without being weighty, complex and soil-driven without being demanding. Overall, the entire range is of consistently high quality, and represents excellent value for the money.”

In a virtually unknown side valley of the Middle Mosel, just south of Piesport, are the steep, south-facing vineyard slopes of Dhron. Few of the younger generation have taken over for the aging winemakers of this small region, leading the region to fall into obscurity.
 
One of the rare exceptions of younger winemakers is Andreas Adam. He released his first wine from the 2000 vintage at 19 years-old after honing his craft at Heymann-Loewenstein. Not long after, he was discovered by Terry Theise, who imported his wines to the US, bringing international attention. His sister, Barbara, joined him in 2013 after having worked for Franz Keller in Baden and Klaus-Peter Keller in the Rheinhessen.

Vietti Limited Time Discounts!


We are lifetime lovers of Vietti here at Vinopolis. Faithful customers have noticed we periodically feature this producer at a must-buy discount and lucky individuals are quick to act during the 3-day window. Well, we’re back it! These wines are up to 10% off on orders of 6 or more bottles and you won’t find better prices anywhere else. Period.

A little context on Vietti…

The Vietti Winery’s prestige speaks for itself and any attempt at describing their merits would be only a carbon copy of what the world has been saying for years. These wines are good. REALLY good. It’s no surprise because the estate has some of the most envious vineyard holdings to be found in all of Barolo.… Read the rest

Bruna Grimaldi

 
Bruna Grimaldi crafts classic, well-structured and delicious wines that outperform their modest price tags. The estate dates back to the 1990s, when Bruna (along with her husband, Franco Fiorino) began bottling her own wine. This decision came after decades selling off the exceptional fruit and bulk wine before eventually selling small amounts locally. As the word got out and international interest poured in, the wines have only improved.
 
Aside from the lovely and deep varietal wines, we’re featuring their three Barolos: the Camilla, Bricco Ambroggio and Badarina. The wines tend to be fairly solid, built primarily for the cellar, but with an early opening, you can find that they’re enjoyable in the near term.
