BY MONICA LARNER OF
WINE ENTHUSIAST (see below) |
 |
Girolamo Russo Etna Rosso
SAN LORENZO 2009
93 points - WINE ENTHUSIAST
"Delicate and sophisticated, this has notes of wild berry, rosemary, crushed stone, tobacco and spice that are delivered with slow, beautiful intensity. The wine shows freshness, structure and staying power." ML July 2012 |
 |
Girolamo Russo Etna Rosso
FEUDO 2009
93 points - WINE ENTHUSIAST
"A blend based on Nerello Mascalese, with a tiny percentage of Nerello Cappuccio, this boasts a bold, compelling bouquet of wild berry, leather, tobacco and a light shading of crushed spice. The mouthfeel is characterized by elegance, power and determination." ML July 2012 |

Girolamo Russo Etna Rosso
San Lorenzo 2008
94 points - WINE ENTHUSIAST
"One of the ultimate expressions of Etna, San Lorenzo is an elegant, determined, and sophisticated wine with a steady stream of delicate aromas - wild berry, crushed granite, smoke and cola - that build in momentim and evolve beautifully over time. The mouthfeel is firm and structured with plashed tannins and a bright berry endnote." ML April 2012 |
|
Palari Faro 2008
92 points - WINE ENTHUSIAST
"The largely unexplored Faro denomination in the northern point of Sicily is producing some of the island's best wines. The promising Nocera grape variety is used here, and Palari vintner Salvatore Geraci is one of its biggest proponents. This blended red is finely embroidered with subtle notes of forest berry, cassis, leather, and spice."

La Togata Brunello di Montalcino 2004
GREAT SCORES!
95 points - WINE SPECTATOR
"Dark ruby in color, showing beautiful aromas of crushed berries, with hints of sultana, raisin and spices. Full-bodied, with a superrich, powerful palate. This has layers of fruit and a fabulous finish. Decadent and delicious." JS Sept. 2009
91 points - WINE ENTHUSIAST
"You'll love the bouyant freshness and immediate intensity of this lively Brunello. The wine's aromas include blackberries, leather, root beer and wild berries. It's lean and tonic in the mouth, suggesting a pairing with cheese-topped pasta or lasagna." ML June 2009

. International Wine Cellar - 93 Aug/Sept 2008
Luigi Maffini Fiano "Kratos" 2007
Intensely perfumed nose redolent of Golden Delicious apple, pear and white pepper, nicely lifted by a strong mineral presence. This is routinely one of Italy’s very best white wines and this vintage is no exception.

Wine Enthusiast - 89 December 2007
Ronco del Gelso Rive Alte Tocai 2006 (Isonzo del Friuli) Deep, golden saturation is backed by big power and structure and bountiful shadings of creamy vanilla, peach, apricot and honeysuckle. This is a naturally creamy wine, visibly thick and viscous, with tangy fruit flavors through and through. |
 |
Wine Enthusiast -92 December 2007
Venturini Campomasua 2001
(Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)
Here is a lively buoyant wine that affords room for a wide array of aromatic nuances. Apple, almond, cherry cobbler and penetrating black tar are foreground notes with red fruit and sweet vanilla as soft background shadings. The intensity is as remarkable as its persistency |
