Castello Bonomi
Castello Bonomi Franciacorta Brut CruPerdu DOCG NV 1.5L
About Castello Bonomi
The Paladin family, who has been making estate-bottled wine for about 60 years, owns several estates across Italy, from the Veneto to Tuscany, but... perhaps their most famous and most distinct is Castello Bonomi, in Lombardy’s Franciacorta region. With vinicultural history that dates back to medieval Benedictine monks, Franciacorta spans about 5,400 acres, but this rare northern Italian region is devoted to one unique style of wine: the best champagne-styled sparklers that you can find outside of France — indeed, it’s the sole DOCG region that permits classic méthode champenoise sparklers. The family-owned-and-operated Castello Bonomi estate is housed in a gorgeous art deco villa built in the late nineteenth century, and the estate’s vineyards sit on 60 steeply pitched acres in a natural amphitheater that rests at the foot of Mount Orfano. These terraced vineyards enjoy a privileged microclimate that includes limestone-rich soils, southern exposures, excellent drainage, and pure sunlight. These elements provide the raw materials that Castello Bonomi’s Chardonnay and Pinot Nero grapes need, while a strict green harvest, low yields, and stringent grape sorting help the estate’s team craft a range of terroir-driven, award-winning Franciacorta wines.
Giuseppe Quintarelli
Giuseppe Quintarelli Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 1997 750ml
About Giuseppe Quintarelli
Founded in 1924, the Giuseppe Quintarelli estate entered its modern age when Giuseppe, or Bepi, took control in 1950. Bepi recognized the potential... hidden within his 27 acres of basalt-and-limestone vineyards, and he sought to bring out the very best in his Amarone and Valpolicella. Under Bepi’s care, Quintarelli’s wines changed the face of the global wine map. Focusing on quality over quantity, Bepi single-handedly refashioned Valpolicella into a highly desirable wine; he made his estate’s Amarone into one of the most collectable wines on the planet; and he introduced Alzero, Italy’s best Cabernet — and that’s just the most remarkable achievements. Bepi passed away in 2012, but he left his estate in the hands of his children, notably his daughter Franca and her husband Giampaolo Grigoli, who continue in the footsteps of her father, assuring that the spellbinding wines of Giuseppe Quintarelli never lose their magic.
