"Bright red berries, raspberry jam, spices and new leather jump from the glass in the 2011 Guado de' Gemoli. Chiappini's Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot blend. Mocha, espresso, savory herbs and leather develop in the glass, adding further layers of nuance and complexity over time. Over the last few years consulting oenologist Emiliano Falsini has moved towards a gentler approach in the cellar, which includes, among other things, lowering temperatures during fermentation. The 2011 is easily one of the best versions of Guado de' Gemoli I can remember tasting. The 2011 is 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Merlot, with a dollop of Cabernet Franc.

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.
The world's most planted premium red grape, yielding deeply colored, tannic and structured wines with cassis, cedar and graphite notes. Firm tannins and acidity make it exceptionally age-worthy, whether as a varietal or the backbone of a Bordeaux blend.
