2002  Bricco Visette

"Barolo has ancient origins. Documents testify to the growing of Nebbiolo in the Visette area as long ago as the XII century, when the Saracen invasions advanced inland into Piedmont from the Ligurian coast. These influences led to the old centre of the village of Monforte being named "Saracca." The name Visette itself comes from the local dialect word for the vine, "vis." Made from Nebbiolo grapes grown in the Visette (Bussia) area of Monforte d’Alba." - Ghisolfi

From the appellation of Taurasi in Campania comes this 100% Aglianico from 20-50 year old vines planted on volcanic clay soil. From the producer: "Intense ruby red colored wine, dense and opaque. The nose is rich and lingering with hints of ripe fruits, balsamic notes and spice. The taste is warm, with austere tannins and with some persistence." 8,000 bottles produced.

2011  Riserva

Riserva -- Offers impressive aromas of blackberry and light toasty oak, with just a hint of sweet tobacco. There’s lots of coconut and oak character on the palate, but this is concentrated and balanced. An enticing young Chianti Classico. -- Fattoria Casaloste is a new darling of Chianti Classico. Located near more famous neighbors, this small upstart has quickly risen to become one of the Gran Selezione elite. The estate was founded in the early 1990s by Giovanni BaVsta d’Orsi, an agronomist and professor of enology at Naples University, and his wife Emilia. The d'Orsis had the foresight and luck of finding an unplanted site in the "Conca d’Oro" - literally the "golden shell" of Panzano in the heart of Chianti Classico - also home to famous producers including Fontodi, La Massa, Rampolla, Vecchie Terre and Villa Cafaggio. Once the site was selected, Giovanni committed himself to producing the purest vineyard expression he could, by farming organically - long before it was popular to do so. He also introduced Merlot to the site (about 15% of planting), which thrives on the estate. The motto of the winery, "essere piccoli per fare grandi vini" ("be small to make great wines"), perfectly expresses their winemaking philosophy and their quick ascent in the wine world.

1997  Tenuta Nuova Brunello di Montalcino

Tenuta Nuova is a pioneering and visionary vineyard project emboding the belief and passion of Casanova di Neri. Tenuta Nuova means new property; Tenuta Nuova is a place where nobody planted Sangiovese before; Tenuta Nuova is the will of Casanova di Neri to produce a powerful yet drinkable Brunello with a high ageing potential. The project began with the study of varied local microclimates and their optimal exposures. Through a cautious and passionate research Casanova di Neri has used the most sophisticated scientific investigations to determine the clones, rootstocks, cultivation practices, plant density per hectare and every possible particular to obtain excellent Sangiovese grapes.

1997  Brunello di Montalcino

The Cerretalto is the synthesis of intuition, passion and vision, characteristics that have been a continual expression of Casanova di Neri. An extraordinary concentration of mineral in the soil imparts an unique impression only in certain vintages and only thanks to a Sangiovese grape from small, straggly bunches. With this decisive contribution of human dedication, love for the work of the earth and great attention in the cellar can a wine reach exceptional quality, personality and unique style that fully expresses the territory of its origin.

2014  Barbaresco

"Compared to the Tre Stelle, the 2014 Barbaresco Rio Sordo seems to have a slightly riper quality of fruit. The difference is minimal but it makes sense given that the heat during the 2014 vintage all came toward the very end of the growing season. This beautiful wine is bold and slightly more robust with dark cherry and red currant. It is also more marked in terms of tannins and structure. Only 1,500 bottles were made." - 91pts WA & 94pts WE

2010  Classico Riserva

Classico Riserva -- The Castell'in Villa wines are always released a year to two years after most of their peers. They are one of the oldest estates and have wines in their cellar dating back to 1971. -- " Castelnuovo Berardenga. Maturing ruby with orange tinges. Complex and ethereal nose, and not a lot of development yet. Beautiful, tactile tannins framing the fruit. Elegant and powerful at the same time. Wonderful balance. Monumental." - 18/20 Jancis Robinson
