"Another stunning wine, the 2012 La Ricolma (Merlot) captures all of the best qualities of the vintage in its extraordinary harmony and balance. Inky and almost unctuous at this early stage in its life, the 2012 is utterly captivating. Dark cherry jam, mocha, spice, mint licorice and incense all open up in a Ricolma that is exotic, deeply expressive and beautifully resonant through to the finish. At the same time, there is plenty of structural underpinning here. This is a tremendous showing from San Giusto."

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.
