Italian Reds Mystery Case

“Paolo Masi has made an excellent impression with the estate wines of his family property.”

Paolo Masi makes many of our best-selling Tuscan reds. For this release, he sought out Sangiovese grapes from within Chianti and just outside its borders. So, you enjoy all the elegant, red-fruit charm of Chianti at a friendlier price.

Way back in 1930, Paolo Masi’s grandfather founded Fattoria di Basciano in the heart of Chianti’s premium Rufina district. Today, Paolo carries on the family legacy in fantastic style—he makes many of our best-selling Tuscan wines and is beloved by customers and critics alike... Since graduating top of his class at Florence’s wine university, “Paolo Masi has made an excellent impression with the estate wines of his family property,” says The Wine Advocate. Respected Italian wine guide Gambero Rosso also sings his praises, writing that his wines show “irreproachably clean, fresh fruit and abundant personality,” while Wine Spectator has rated his Riserva a “No. 1 Outstanding Chianti Buy.” He’s also a bit of a rebel. To craft his new ‘Poggerissi’ cuvée, Paolo sourced Sangiovese grapes from vineyards in Chianti and from prime-sited plots just outside its borders. That means the wine can’t say Chianti on the label, but you’ll still enjoy all the hallmarks of fine Chianti in the glass. Look forward to vibrant cherry and plum flavors, supported by hints of marzipan and a savory edge. With structured, food-friendly tannins and a long, fruit-rich finish, it’s the perfect red for a big, Italian-style feast. All the elegance of Chianti at a friendlier price. Order your share today.

Collezione di Paolo Poggerissi

“Sensational bargains with real soul.”

Super Tuscan reds are some of Italy’s most renowned (and often expensive) wines. Here’s a powerful challenger to the style from sunny Puglia and a repeat winner of Vinitaly’s Winemaker of the Year title.

Angelo Maci, the legendary winemaker behind many of our best-selling Italian reds, came to us with an exciting proposition. He wanted to create a bold new red to rival some of Italy’s most prestigious bottlings. Inspired by the ‘Super Tuscan’ tradition––which blends international grapes with native varieties––he set out to create a southern counterpart. Tenuta Albrizzi is the delicious, red- and black-fruited ‘Super Puglian’ result. The wine is a combo of internationally lauded Cabernet Sauvignon and Primitivo, Puglia’s signature red, known as the ‘Godfather’ of southern Italian grapes. Loved for its deep, dark character, it adds layers of ripe cherry, blackberry and spice to rich, chocolatey Cab. All the grapes grow on prized ancient vines––low-yielding heirlooms that contribute an abundance of concentrated flavor to Angelo’s wines. It certainly proves why Angelo is such a BIG name in Puglia. The force behind our wildly popular Pillastro wines and a repeat winner of Vinitaly’s Winemaker of the Year award, his winery, Cantine Due Palme, is also notable. A cooperative, it has more than 1,000 grower members that work to obtain the highest quality grapes. On one hand, the operation is a champion of the region’s great traditions, while on the other, it prides itself on its pioneering techniques. The hard work, passion and dedication that powers the business has earned it multiple awards, including Gambero Rosso’s Cooperative Cellar of the Year in both 2021 and 2023. If you’ve yet to try the wines from this exciting producer, this red will make a terrific introduction.

Tenuta Albrizzi Cabernet Sauvignon Primitivo

The renowned Liantonio family are experts in Italy’s native grapes, and this may be their most delicious blend yet. Named after a favorite Italian dessert, it marries Puglia’s three stars: Negroamaro, Primitivo and inky-dark Nero di Troia.

Puglia, the sunny heel of Italy’s boot, is home to “sensational bargains with real soul,” says top critic Robert Parker. And here’s one you’ve got to try. Affogato is a silky blend of the region’s three stars: inky-dark Nero di Troia, aromatic Negroamaro and berry-packed Primitivo. It’s crafted by Leonardo Palumbo, head winemaker for the Liantonio family (which is renowned for their expertise with local varieties). At 1,300 to 1,900 feet above sea level, their Torrevento estate vineyards sit atop some of the highest and sunniest hills in Puglia, an ideal spot for growing grapes with ripe, rich flavors. The wine takes its name from the Italian dessert affogato, which is vanilla ice cream topped with a shot of espresso. That’s because, in addition to its layers of dark fruit, there are also hints of freshly brewed coffee and vanilla (thanks to French oak aging), plus a velvety finish. The perfect red for your next Italian feast, Affogato will be delicious alongside traditional antipasti or meaty pasta—and is smooth enough to enjoy on its own (before or after dinner.) At under $20 a bottle, this red is truly one of Puglia’s ‘sensational bargains.’ Secure your share today.

“Fresh, juicy and beautifully balanced. It shows much more complexity than you’d expect at this price point.”

Northern Italy's village of Valpolicella is famed for its iconic, opulent Amarone. But in local cafes and with dinner at home, you'll find fresh young 'Veronese' reds like this in everyone's glasses. Expect notes of red cherry, plum, cocoa and spice.

Northern Italy’s village of Valpolicella is famed for its iconic, opulent Amarone. But in local cafes and family tables, you’re more likely to find fresh, perfumed wines fill of vibrant flavors. Enter Bartolomeo Lorenzi Rosso Veronese—young, juicy and bursting with red fruits and spice. It’s crafted by Daniele Accordini, a hugely talented, well-respected oenologist in the region. He's the head winemaker at Cantina Valpolicella Negrar, the very first winery to bottle and label a wine under the Amarone name, back in 1933. Today, they have an excellent reputation for producing world-class wines. In fact, they were awarded the title of Best Italian Cooperative Winery three times (in 2016, 2017 and 2019) by Weinwirtschaft, the leading wine trade magazine in Germany. This authentic local red is crafted from the same grape varieties that go into Amarone (Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella), but it's made in a fresher, juicier style. These grapes come from the cool Marano Valley, where grapes take longer to ripen, which adds depth, character and freshness to the wines. Look forward to aromas of red cherry, red berries, cocoa and sweet spices. The palate is soft, ripe and smooth, but also has a welcome streak of acidity that keeps things balanced. Fruit-driven with gentle tannins, it offers flavors of juicy cherry and ripe plum and a long, fresh finish. Top tip: Try it slightly chilled, like the locals do. And as our expert Leonardo says, “This wine shows much more complexity that you'd expect at this price point… it has such great balance.” Limited cases available. Hurry to secure your share.

He's the head winemaker at <a target="_blank" href="https://www.cantinanegrar.com/it" style="text-decoration:none; font-weight:normal;">Cantina Valpolicella Negrar</a>, the very first winery to bottle and label a wine under the Amarone name, back in 1933. Today, they have an excellent reputation for producing world-class wines.

This 'Rosso Veronese' is the newest addition to Daniele’s Bartolomeo Lorenzi range, which is named after an 18th century abbott and poet whose “Della Coltivazione de' Monti” described the work of local farmers over the four seasons and helped popularize Valpolicella’s wines. The wine provides an endless variety of food-pairing options. Aged cheeses are a winner, as are full-flavored, creamy cheeses (notoriously difficult to pair with red wines). Locally, Taleggio would be served, but Brie will also be delicious. If it’s dinnertime, try dishes starring veal (such as osso buco), lamb, short ribs or pasta in a hearty duck ragu. Top tip: Try it slightly chilled, like the locals do. And as our expert Leonardo says, “This wine shows much more complexity that you'd expect at this price point. Once you open the bottle the wine keeps changing in the glass during the meal, and the fruit, spice notes and acidity all come together beautifully. It has such great balance.” Be one of the first to try this exciting new arrival! Limited cases available.

“A historic Roman wine, made with grapes grown in the same hills that supplied stone for the Colosseum.”

Cantine Federici is one of the first (and best) producers in Italy’s Roma region and now you have insider access with this hugely acclaimed marriage of hand-harvested Montepulciano and Cesanese.

Led by third-generation Damiano Federici, Cantine Federici is one of the first (and best) producers in Italy’s Roma region and continually garners international acclaim for its luscious reds, enchanting whites and frothy bubbles. Most of the estate's wines are sold directly to local Italian restaurants, but we scored an exclusive allocation of this powerful red named after Damiano’s grandfather. A blend of hand-harvested Montepulciano and Cesanese grown in the hills outside of Rome—the same ones that supplied stone for the Colosseum—with a portion of the grapes dried (which creates seriously concentrated flavors), it delivers a sumptuous texture, with luscious black fruit and warming spice notes. Act quickly for your share of this Roman sensation, then try it with rigatoni all’amatriciana and other hearty pasta dishes.

“Pure Montepulciano…it shows attractive maturity, with dried fruit flavors, hints of balsamic and clove spice notes.”

An ultra-rare Montepulciano Riserva, this impressive barrel-aged wine comes from rising star winemaker Ludovica Crugnale. Surprisingly fresh despite its maturity, it brims with red-berry fruit and spice.

An ultra-rare find, La Chiamata Montepulciano Riserva is an impressively ripe, barrel-aged wine from rising star winemaker Ludovica Crugnale, the mastermind behind one of our customers’ most-loved Italian reds. A trained oenologist, she traveled the world gaining experience, working in California and Australia before ultimately following la chiamata (the calling) back home to Abruzzo, in central Italy, to create characterful wines that express her region authentically. Though talented, driven and independent in her work, she considers the wine to be a collaboration with two near-and-dear people who share her passion: Her friend Signora Maria Elisii—who, since the 1980s, has been carefully tending to a small, less-than-10-acre plot of Montepulciano in the sparsely populated subzone of Caroso—and Riccardo Cotarella, her longtime mentor and arguably one of the most important oenologists in all of Italy. “This fine, rare Riserva is a testament to their expertise and the special terroir of Abruzzo, my homeland,” says Ludovica. Made from old-vine fruit hand harvested from Maria’s perfectly situated vineyard and crafted in an ultra-modern cellar, it was aged nine months in a mix of large oak barrels and smaller barriques before being left to mature further, undisturbed in bottle. The result, says Ludovica, is “pure Montepulciano… [that] shows attractive maturity, with dried fruit flavors, hints of balsamic and clove spice notes.” While we believe such a beautiful wine deserves to be savored on its own, its surprisingly ripe red berry tones would be delicious alongside hard cheeses, tomato-based pasta dishes or hearty roasted vegetables. As you may have assumed, stocks of this wine are extremely limited. Secure yours soon.

La Chiamata Montepulciano Riserva

If you haven’t tried the Barbaneras’ sumptuous, barrel-aged Super Tuscan, now’s the perfect time. This delicious blend of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon brims with luscious black cherry and spice aromas, and plush plum and blackcurrant flavors.

The Barbanera family has done it again. Their sumptuous Super Tuscan red, Vecciano, is truly super in every sense, with ripe black fruit notes and gentle vanilla tones that are near-impossible not to love. It’s a classic blend of Tuscany’s hero grape––ripe, red-fruited Sangiovese––and deeply flavorful Cabernet Sauvignon aged 18 months in fine French oak to add layers of luscious spice and create a silky-smooth texture. No wonder previous vintages have been favorites of customers and critics alike. In the glass, you can expect ripe plum and black currant flavors, balanced by complex baking spices and earth across a long, satisfying finish. A delicious sip on its own, and a great match for hearty pasta dishes or a thick cut of steak. Limited cases imported—first come, first served.
