Cellar/Tasting Notes
"There’s a hard, minerally edge to this Chardonnay, like the tang of cold metal, an impression that’s heightened by its citrusy acids. The flavor veers toward Meyer lemon, while toasted oak brings needed vanilla and honey richness. It’s controlled and tight, compared to more opulent bottlings, but..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"A textbook example in how to make a Chardonnay that’s ripely fruity and oaky, yet maintains impeccable balance. The orange, apricot, green apple and lime flavors hit the jackpot, while brisk acidity and minerality provide equilibrium. Possesses that rare quality of elegance."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"This is a landmark Amarone that has often acted as the category’s biggest ambassador abroad. It bursts open with aromas of dark berry, spice, leather and tobacco, and it is both generous and long-lasting on the palate."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Pretty nose of white flower, pear and stone. There is excellent detail and verve to the finely delineated and pure medium-bodied flavors that possess good depth on the reasonably dry and solidly persistent finish."

"The 2007 Sagrantino di Montefalco Collepiano is superb. A beautifully open, expressive core of fruit dazzles from start to finish, while silky tannins show an elegant, rare side of Sagrantino. Sweet varietal notes wrap around the poised, centered finish. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2027...Marco..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
The Chateau de Maltroye is a wonderfully restored bourgeois house. Built in the 18th century over the burnt-out ruin of a previous (15th century) building; the beautiful vaulted cellars date from that older house. The only parallels in Burgundy to such a house – immaculately and artistically..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
The process of vinification and ageing in wood takes place in the modern cellar, built on descending levels to take advantage of gravity, guaranteeing the most respect possible for the natural integrity of the grape, in order to exalt the character and elegance of the wines. All Fontodi wines are..
