Prunotto
Prunotto Barbaresco Bric Turot 2018 750ml
About Marchesi Antinori Prunotto
Located in the rolling hills of Alba, Piemonte, the Prunotto estate epitomizes the timeless beauty and effortless elegance of the Langhe. Founded in 1904, Prunotto... began as a wine cooperative formed in Serralunga and presided over by Alfredo Prunotto. But as optimistic as the young Alfredo felt, the economic punch of WWI hit the coop’s farmers hard, and it disbanded. Alfredo, however, was there to pick up the pieces, taking control of the négociant Barolo house and shepherding it into financial success through marketing the wine to foreign buyers. Beppe Colla assumed control of the estate in 1956 and expanded Prunotto’s success with a savvy strategy of researching the finest vineyard sites, purchasing the best grapes, and experimenting with cru bottlings. The Antinori family started distributing Prunotto’s wine in 1989 and assumed control of the estate in 1994. In a project spearheaded by Albiera Antinori, Prunotto recreated itself with an eye to wines defined by very specific terroir. Albiera began researching and purchasing specific vineyards, eventually amassing 161 acres that spread across the Langhe and Mongerrato, with holdings in the legendary Barolo vineyards of Vigna Colonnello, Bussia, Bric Turot, as well as Barbera’s Pian Romualdo, Barbaresco’s Secondine, and many more. Under Albiera’s careful stewardship, Prunotto has not merely regained its former glory — it has surpassed it, cementing this venerable winemaker as one of the very best that Piemonte has to offer.

Tenuta di Carleone
Tenuta di Carleone ‘Il Guercio’ Toscana IGT 2020 750ml
About Tenuta di Carleone
While Tenuta di Carleone di Castiglioni seems like a new estate — it was established only in 2012 — this winery in Radda, Chianti, has a long... history behind it. The monks of Badia al Coltibuono founded the first winemaking venture on these lands in 1078, and the Carleone’s 494 acres (74 under vine) had been home to various winemaking enterprises for centuries. The modern age of Carleone was born when Austrian businessman Karl Egger and his sister, Kristine, partnered with winemaker Sean O’Callaghan with a shared vision of creating ultra-elegant, terroir-driven, wholly natural wines. Today’s Carleone estate has spread beyond Radda with plots in Gaiole and Vagliagli as well. Sean, the “one-eyed bandit” who inspired the estate’s cult wine Il Guerico, employs a range of artisanal techniques in his winemaking that can include foot-stomping; using whole clusters; open-top fermentation in cement or wood; and aging in steel, vats, or amphorae — whatever he thinks will give the estate’s natural, unfiltered wines the greatest “bevibilità,” or drinkability.

Montevertine
Montevertine Rosso Toscana IGT 2020 750ml
About Montevertine
Just under 50 acres located in and around the rolling hills of Radda in the Chianti Classico region, Montevertine has made a powerful impact on the global... wine landscape with its cult mono-varietal bottling, Le Pergole Torte, but even more than that glowing achievement, Montevertine has exerted a kind of gravitational pull over the entire Chianti region because of its staunch adherence to traditional indigenous grapes, especially Sangiovese. Founder Sergio Manetti wasn’t looking to shift the Tuscan winemaking landscape when he bought the lands that would become Montevertine in 1967, but he planted about five acres of Sangiovese, made some wine for friends, and sent a couple of bottles off to Vinitaly as a lark. The wine was a hit, and Montevertine was born. Today, Montevertine, helmed by Sergio’s son, Martino, spans nine organically tended vineyard parcels, with the majority planted to Sangiovese, and it crafts three wines. Montevertine’s position has shifted from new guard to vanguard, and wine-lovers around the globe await every new release with bated breath.

Giuseppe Quintarelli
Giuseppe Quintarelli Rosso del Bepi Veneto IGT 2014 1.5L
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.
Giuseppe Rinaldi
Giuseppe Rinaldi Barolo 1964 750ml
About Giuseppe Rinaldi
Known to his peers as “Citrico,” or the acid one, Giuseppe Rinaldi held strong opinions, and he stayed true to them. Beppe believed in growing his... grapes organically, and though he was one of the founders of ViniVeri, the natural Italian wine consortium, he never bothered to get his wines certified organic. Despite the fad for cru expressions — and despite owning parcels in three of Barolo’s best sites, Cannubi, Brunate, Le Coste, and Ravera — Beppe believed in the primacy of blended Barolo. Turning his back on fashion, Beppe had a barrique turned into a chair, affixing a sign that said announced it as the only good use for barrique. Above all, Beppe believed in a Barolo made to age so long that it was never ready to drink, and he made them as his grandfather did, fermenting in tini, or tall oak vats, eschewing temperature control, relying on manual punch downs, and aging his wines in giant botti for years. After his passing, Beppe’s daughters, Carlotta and Marta, assumed control of the estate, and they continue to make wines that their father, their grandfather, and their great-grandfather would recognize. Giuseppe Rinaldi crafts serious, timeless, remarkable Barolo, Barbera, Langhe Nebbiolo and other quintessentially Piemontese bottlings — some things will never change, and for this, the wine world is grateful.
