"The 2015 La Ricolma, San Giusto's 100% Merlot, is absolutely riveting from the very first taste. Dark, vibrant and explosive, the 2015 retains tremendous freshness and nuance for a wine from this vintage. The marriage of fruit intensity, energy and purity is nothing short of captivating. Readers will have to give the 2015 a few years to settle down post bottling, but it is a remarkable wine that just needs time to fully emerge. The 2015 was aged in French oak, with about 40% new barrels."

Italy grows more indigenous grape varieties than any other country and produces wine in all 20 of its regions. From Piedmont's Nebbiolo to Tuscany's Sangiovese, its finest wines pair structure and bright acidity with a strong sense of place.
The heartland of Sangiovese, producing Chianti Classico, Brunello di Montalcino and the Cabernet-influenced 'Super Tuscans' of the coast. Its wines balance bright acidity, savory structure and cellar-worthiness.
Produces plush, supple, fruit-forward reds with plum and chocolate notes. Softer and earlier-maturing than Cabernet, it adds flesh and roundness to blends and stars in Right Bank Bordeaux.
