Castellare - Vanity Fair Italy	Coniale Cabernet Sauvignon Toscana IGT	All	Jan-2019
Review “It is an excellent opportunity to try a Cabernet Sauvignon in purity, the red grape variety perhaps the most widespread in the world (as the Chardonnay for whites) but almost always used to compose the famous Bordeaux cut, with Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Coniale is produced by Castellare di Castellina, a historic company of the Chianti Classico that has as its symbolic wine the great Sangiovese "Sodi di San Niccolò". Intense ruby red, with purple hues, shows hints of blackberry, black currant, blueberries, cherry, and floral notes of violet and rose hips. It is an intense and velvety wine, with fine tannins and a long and persistent finish with a fruity aftertaste. It is ideal with roasts, game and aged cheeses.”
Librandi - Vanity Fair Italy	Gravello Val di Neto Rosso IGT	All	Jan-2019
Review “The Gaglioppo, called the Black Prince for its intense color bunch, is the Calabrian vine used to produce the Cirò rosso. The Tenuta Librandi, in Cirò Marina, has focused on the recovery of the ancient native varieties as well as international grapes such as Cabernet sauvignon, Cabernet franc, Chardonnay and Sauvignon blanc. Gravello was born 30 years ago from the desire to create a wine that can compete with the great reds of other Italian regions. Gaglioppo (60%) and Cabernet sauvignon (40%) is considered one of the most interesting wines of the region. Born from the vineyards of the Val di Neto, between the Ionian and the Sila, it ages in wood for 12 months in barriques of Allier and six months in the bottle. Intense ruby red, powerful and soft, it has fruity aromas, notes of licorice and vanilla. It is a wine for red meats, game, strong and spicy cheeses.”
Monastero - Vanity Fair Italy	La Pineta Pinot Nero Toscana IGT	All	Jan-2019
Review “The winemaker Alessandro Cellai winery in Castellina in Chianti, in the wine-producing heart of Tuscany, 3 hectares of vineyards, half of which destined for Pinot Nero and the remaining ones in Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, was created with the sole objective of producing , a great wine from Pinot Noir, a vine considered among the best in the world, capable of giving wines of great elegant elegance, but not always understood by everyone: the opposite, in short, of the wine pleaser. The pinewood is a ruby red wine that smells like fresh berries, spices and undergrowth. It is a balanced, intense wine with a persistent finish, ideal to accompany foie gras and red meat dishes.”
Zenato - Vanity Fair Italy	Sergio Zenato Amarone Classico Riserva DOC	All	Jan-2019
Review “It is a wine that is born only in the excellent vintages from the grapes of the oldest vines grown at Sant'Ambrogio, in the heart of the Valpolicella Classica. It is a wine of great balance, suitable for long aging. Deep ruby red color, it has an intense fruity bouquet, especially with notes of cherry, morello cherry and small berries, and slightly spicy. Warm, full, with great structure, it goes well with roast game, grilled meat and aged cheeses, but it is also excellent as a meditation wine.”
