While this effort from Conterno-Fantino has all the power one expects from the site, there is a level of polish and elegance one rarely sees from Ginestra- an almost Burgundian sense of understatement where the cedar, dry earth, cinnamon and anise...

Featuring a wine from Tenuta Bibbiano, located in Castellina in Chianti, is a real flash from the past for me. This well-known estate, one of the oldest in Tuscany, was part of the wine portfolio that our company imported and distributed when I was just...

#20 on PRIMA's Top 25 Wines of 2025 Very highly recommended, by every one of us at PRIMA! The Franciacorta appellation couldn’t be any more picturesque; it’s right on Lake Iseo with mountains all around, plus the snow-capped Alps towering...

Our relationship began with Scarzello after hearing of its more or less recent renaissance from several friends on the ground in Barolo who know of what they speak. At the time, it wasn’t available in the United States but I sourced a few bottles in...

This isn’t your poolside Verdejo! From century-old vines in Rueda’s dunes, the Habis bottling gives Verdejo the weight and intensity it rarely shows. Cool pear and lemon cream meet chalky, saline minerality framed by subtle oak spice...

The Esteva is a delicious entry-level cuvée from Casa Ferreirinha in the Douro, fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks, with a touch of oak aging. The wine displays a variety of fruit aromas and flavors, along with woodsy spices and floral...

If the Odderos’ Rocche di Castiglione is the cellar’s equivalent of Vosne-Romanée, Vignarionda is its Chambolle-Musigny, never lacking in tannin or nervy acidity, but still capable of incomparable elegance. The 2019 is exactly that...
