An oak forest cut down between 1490 and 1542 was replaced by “plantings of vines and trees”, and the old name “Bosco di Gica” (“Gica Wood”) no longer seemed appropriate. The new name, “Zardin” (“Garden”), meanwhile, was perfectly suited to the charm of this rediscovered land. In a land register entry of 1717, it was changed to “Zardini” and subsequent Napoleonic and Austrian maps gave it the name of “Giardino”. The medieval intuition regarding the innate qualities of this land for wine growing was reflected in the subsequent viticultural approach. This is difficult territory, but one which is generous to those who dedicate their energies to its steep slopes. The soil is chalky, lean, and shallow, lying directly on the bedrock, which emerges in places. The vines cling to chestnut poles in south-facing parallel rows, echoing the typical uneven contours of these slopes. The incessant, painstaking care needed to farm here confirms the “cru” status of this vineyard.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Verdana\"\u003eThe result is a “dry” wine, which brings together all the qualities of the Prosecco area: elegance, harmony and freshness, but above all fruit salad aromas. This is a wine that already in 1933 was selected as one of the best from Valdobbiadene, and was sent to represent the area at the 1st Mostra di Vini Tipici d’Italia, held in Siena between 3 and 18 August 1933. This recognition of merit is just one of the many awards our wines have received, that we still today remember with affection and pride. This is why the Giardino Vineyard has become Adami’s standard-bearer.

The dream of giving rise to an important production experience, with deep ties to the land and its ability to generate life, history and culture. More than thirty years ago he decided to valorize Sicilian wine-making traditions to achieve excellence through the production of high-quality wine, in a period in which it seemed this was a long way from being even remotely conceivable, based on the few others that had embarked on this process. The world of high-quality wine, at least in Sicily, was just beginning and Salvatore Di Gaetano, a young businessman devoted to his land, could already glimpse the enormous potential offered by Sicily as a wine-making region. A miniature continent, capable of encompassing absolutely everything: from the high mountains to the sea, from compact clay soils to those that emerged from the sea, not to mention the lava sands of Etna. Then there are the vines, the sun and the spiralling wind.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003eFirriato is a unit of measurement, a clear concept, the result of a business decision capable of transforming itself into promise and devotion. Recalling a production history that holds such importance for the world of high-quality Sicilian wine in a few brief lines could result in a rash and inadequate summary. Because Firriato is a company that is a living, warm-blooded organism that thrives on nature, identity, and passion. We are in the province of Trapani, one of the most magical parts of the wine region of Sicily, where centuries of vine growing have given this area a natural ability to produce wines with a strong sense of identity. It was the start of the eighties when Salvatore Di Gaetano, a businessman with a passion for his homeland, saw the right elements in this picture-postcard landscape to bear the fruit of his freely declared passion: high-quality wine. Firriato is the crowning achievement of this dream, a company that in three decades has become one of the biggest production companies in Sicily, a reference for Made in Italy excellence acknowledged all over the world. Right from the onset, Salvatore Di Gaetano has gambled on the oenological potential of traditional vines. Nero d’Avola, Perricone, and Nerello Mascalese, but also Zibibbo, Grillo, and Catarratto, with Firriato, have all become wines that have crossed the oceans, reaching far away cities and entering into the heart of enthusiastic wine lovers. Harmonium, Ribeca, and Santagostino are wines that have made the company famous, along with its lead players. Wines of the utmost prestige, bearing witness to a production style capable of giving due value to wines produced in Sicily. Harvest after harvest, Firriato has implemented a modern wine-making plan based on viticulture that enhances and valorizes the varietal features of every vine planted. A production philosophy that in just a few years has become the unmistakable mark of a style that has led to the production of wines with a strong sense of identity. They are recognizable right from the first sip, have been awarded accolades from critics, and are enjoyed by wine lovers all over the world. Over the years, the challenge became even more exciting when the company set itself the goal of presenting new wines that are a perfect reflection of Sicily. The original production area in the countryside of Trapani was increased, investing in Etna and the Aegadian Islands. The new estates, Cavanera on the volcano and Calamoni on Favignana, have enabled Firriato to present itself to the world with a complexity of soil and climate conditions that only Sicily manages to encompass in one large land bathed in sunlight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Verdana\" style=\"font-family: Verdana;\"\u003eFirriato’s strength lies in the consistent choices it has made. Especially those that focus on nature, biodiversity, protecting the landscape, and innovation. A profile that is most emblematic in the management of its vineyards, considering that all of them are certified organic. Only a large, well-run company is capable of managing six agricultural estates so different from each other, dealing with a complex range of tasks that require constant overseeing and attention. This is something that Salvatore Di Gaetano and his family are proud of and know that the company’s entire team share that pride, both in the vineyards and in the winery.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Verdana\" style=\"font-family: Verdana;\"\u003eToday the strong affection for Sicily has been given new strength thanks to the arrival of Irene, Salvatore and Vinzia’s daughter, and her husband, Federico Lombardo di Monte Iato, who are taking the family dream forward with passion.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Verdana\" style=\"font-family: Verdana;\"\u003eIf the wine-producing region of Sicily has gained great acceptance on an international level, it is partly due to Firriato, as it has actively contributed to revealing the value of Sicilian wine to the rest of the world.

After formulating their flagship Rosso Vermouth, the team turned their attention to (re)creating an increasing collection of heritage spirits, using ingredients from both Piedmont and around the world, coupled with painstaking research and abiding love for the drinking traditions of Italy.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Free Run","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36480886603929,"sku":"8057949760009","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0149\/9247\/4212\/products\/antica-torino-vermouth.png?v=1601494932"},{"product_id":"cantine-lunae-bosoni-colli-di-luni-vermentino-black-label-2018","title":"Cantine Lunae Bosoni Colli di Luni Vermentino Grey Label 2024","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlcohol\u003c\/b\u003e: 13%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eGrape(s)\u003c\/b\u003e:\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e Vermentino\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eLocalization\u003c\/b\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Verdana\" style=\"font-family: Verdana;\"\u003eLiguria, Italy\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Verdana\" style=\"font-family: Verdana;\"\u003eThe Vermentino ‘Grey Label’ is all about freshness and it is considered by many the best expression of true Ligurian Vermentino.

In 1973 the baton passed to Giancarlo Palla, who made an equally important contribution to the territory. First of all, bringing the culture of sparkling wine to the area, traditionally linked to red wines.

Alessandro crafts three delicious wines based on Nebbiolo, a Dolcetto, and very small amounts of this Barbera.  Barbera is one of Piedmont’s (if not Italy’s) best food wines: more structured, generally, than Dolcetto, and more forgiving than Nebbiolo.  It’s a wine that can accompany meals both rustic and classy, and Veglio makes one of the best for the money. Barbera has documented roots back to the 17th century but is probably much older.  The Barbera d’Alba region is much smaller than the Asti or Monferrato regions where Barbera can also be grown, and it sometimes gets overshadowed by Nebbiolo, but we recommend NOT overlooking this grape, particularly at this price!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Free Run","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37503917490329,"sku":"8032628443817","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0149\/9247\/4212\/files\/barbera-alba-mauro-veglio.webp?v=1775214404"},{"product_id":"cantine-colosi-nero-davola-2024","title":"Cantine Colosi Nero D'Avola 2024","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlcohol\u003c\/b\u003e: 14%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eGrape(s)\u003c\/b\u003e:\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e Nero D'Avola \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eLocalization\u003c\/b\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Verdana\" style=\"font-family: Verdana;\"\u003eSicily, Italy\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Verdana\" style=\"font-family: Verdana;\"\u003eDark ruby red in color, this wine offers intense fruit notes with heavy cherry aromas.

An oak forest cut down between 1490 and 1542 was replaced by “plantings of vines and trees”, and the old name “Bosco di Gica” (“Gica Wood”) no longer seemed appropriate. The new name, “Zardin” (“Garden”), meanwhile, was perfectly suited to the charm of this rediscovered land. In a land register entry of 1717, it was changed to “Zardini” and subsequent Napoleonic and Austrian maps gave it the name of “Giardino”. The medieval intuition regarding the innate qualities of this land for wine growing was reflected in the subsequent viticultural approach. This is difficult territory, but one which is generous to those who dedicate their energies to its steep slopes. The soil is chalky, lean, and shallow, lying directly on the bedrock, which emerges in places. The vines cling to chestnut poles in south-facing parallel rows, echoing the typical uneven contours of these slopes. The incessant, painstaking care needed to farm here confirms the “cru” status of this vineyard.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Verdana\" style=\"font-family: Verdana;\"\u003eThe result is a “dry” wine, which brings together all the qualities of the Prosecco area: elegance, harmony and freshness, but above all fruit salad aromas. This is a wine that already in 1933 was selected as one of the best from Valdobbiadene, and was sent to represent the area at the 1st Mostra di Vini Tipici d’Italia, held in Siena between 3 and 18 August 1933. This recognition of merit is just one of the many awards our wines have received, that we still today remember with affection and pride.

In this cluster of houses, the Veglio family has been dedicated to working the land for generations. To be a farmer in the Langhe meant bending over the vines, cultivating orchards and gardens, raising livestock, and inventing new ways of getting by every day. It was a difficult life. Angelo Veglio, born in 1928, would pass the winters by visiting the farmhouses as a “masacrin,” or a sort of butcher on a house call, particularly for the preparation of salami. During the summer, after working in the fields he would travel to the market in Canale, where he sold the few peaches his orchards produced. Angelo had a dream: leave the life of a sharecropper and working in agriculture to dedicate himself to making wine; and purchase vineyards and bottle wine under his name, using native Langhe grapes—above all, Nebbiolo, in which he had the foresight to recognize quality and potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"We were born and grew up in the hills of Barolo: a territory that has sustained us, whose people have helped us grow up, and whose wine we have fallen in love with, to which we dedicate our lives and our passion\".\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Free Run","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40583469957273,"sku":"8032628443565","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0149\/9247\/4212\/files\/veglio.jpg?v=1775214402"},{"product_id":"abbazia-di-novacella-kerner-2024","title":"Abbazia di Novacella Kerner 2024","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlcohol:\u003c\/b\u003e 13.5%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eGrape(s):\u003c\/b\u003e Kerner\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eLocalization:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Verdana\" style=\"font-family: Verdana;\"\u003eTrentino-Alto Adige, Italy\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTasting notes:\u003c\/b\u003e A particular specialty of the Valle Isarco.

Laura was mother to three rough-and-tumble boys and immediately bonded with Lia. Thus began the tradition of yearly visits where during the warm summer days and nights Laura would instill in Lia an appreciation for Italian culture, history, music and most of all art. Laura’s presence in Lia’s life would inspire her as a mother, cook, vintner and businessperson and after graduating with degrees in art and economics and starting a family of her own, Lia would continue to visit her Aunt Laura with her own children growing this family bond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2004 an opportunity arose to write a new chapter in the story, this time at Tolaini Winery in Castelnuovo Berardenga with the production of Lia’s own wine label Donna Laura.

It appears to have been introduced by the Greeks in their Southern Italian colonies around 800 or 700 BC. Among the most commonly mentioned historical evidence is the discovery of a Roman wine press in Rionero in Vulture, as well as an ancient bronze coin found in the Venosa area, depicting Dionysus (Bacchus in the Roman transposition), a Greek god. As for literary citations, possibly none deserves a mention more than the famous odes to wine written by Roman poet Horace, a native of Venosa. The origin of the name is quite uncertain, if not even mysterious. For many years, people believed that the term Aglianico came from ancient Greek – confirming its ancient Greek etymology – and that the original word was “crippled” during the Aragonese domination to become Aglianico. According to another theory – introduced by Manuela Piancastelli – the term Aglianico derives from the Greek word “agleukinosicos” or “wine without sugar\/glucose.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cantiniere","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41423098478745,"sku":"8005105000018","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0149\/9247\/4212\/products\/aglianico-del-vulture-dangelo-800x1200-2-png--1.png?v=1775248639"},{"product_id":"fontodi-flaccianello-della-pieve-2018","title":"Fontodi \"Flaccianello Della Pieve\" 2018","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol: \u003c\/strong\u003e15%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrape(s): \u003c\/strong\u003e100% Sangiovese\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLocalization: \u003c\/strong\u003eColli Toscana Centrale IGT, Chianti, Italy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes: \u003c\/strong\u003eFrom an iconic vintage that gave generously to all grape varieties across almost all of Tuscany, this wine ranks high on the Fontodi billboard of greatest hits. The 2010 Flaccianello della Pieve is a rock solid wine that sits firm and begins to peel slowly, each delicate layer at a time. It puts on quite a show with a solid core of dark fruit followed by smoke, spice, tar, licorice and delicate blue flower. On previous tastings of this vintage, I had scored it 97 and 97+ points, respectively. I'm going down one point at this sitting because the wine's fiber has unraveled, ever so slightly, at the edges. It still maintains that solid core, but the wine has taken an important jump forward in its evolution these past three years. Evidently, it is currently in a phase of relaxation and unwinding. Beautifully polished notes of Mediterranean herb and dried mint appear on the long, glossy finish.

However, only at the beginning of the 20th century did the Vietti name become a winery offering its own wines in bottle. Patriarch Mario Vietti, starting from 1919 made the first Vietti wines, selling most of the production in Italy. His most significant achievement was to transform the family farm, engaged in many fields, into a grape-growing and wine-producing business.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen, in 1952, Alfredo Currado (Luciana Vietti’s husband) continued to produce high-quality wines from their own vineyards and purchased grapes. The Vietti winery grew to one of the top-level producers in Piemonte and was one of the first wineries to export its products to the USA market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlfredo was one of the first to select and vinify grapes from single vineyards (such as Brunate, Rocche, and Villero).

Today Arneis is the most famous white wine from the Roero area, north of Barolo. Setting such a fine example with Arneis, even fellow vintners as far away as those on the west coast of the United States are cultivating and producing Arneis!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith 35 hectares of vineyards, Vietti expects to increase production and have greater control over the vineyards, which looks to continually improve from a qualitative perspective.

The Ceretto family has always been committed to producing the most expressive and authentic wines their land can yield.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Republic National","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42380071960833,"sku":"085200022687","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0149\/9247\/4212\/products\/cerettoblange.png?v=1775213772"},{"product_id":"argiano-brunello-di-montalcino-2017","title":"Argiano Brunello di Montalcino 2019","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14.5%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrape(s): \u003c\/strong\u003eSangiovese\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLocalization:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tuscany, Italy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brunello is Argiano’s soul and identity: elegant, fine, and at the same time, body and long aging. It shows a lovely transparency to its appearance and follows with lifted red fruit aromas, cassis, wild cherry, and blue flower. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pipProfessionalReviews_authorName\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e95 Points Wine Spectator\u003c\/strong\u003e: Rose, strawberry, and cherry aromas and flavors are the main themes in this red, along with wild herb, mineral, and cut hay accents.

The winery, recently renovated and restructured, was founded in \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Verdana\"\u003e1902 by Pietro Castellani, a passionate and dedicated grape grower and wine-maker.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Verdana\"\u003eThe Castellani family, currently in its fourth generation, continues with the same commitment and passion the work began by Pietro more than one hundred years ago. All phases of the wine-making process, cultivation of the highest quality grapes, grape harvest, vinification, aging, and marketing are carried out directly by the family. Particular attention and care are given to the delicate process of grape drying or “appassimento” that is essential for the making of Recioto and Amarone, the region’s greatest and most noble wines.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Verdana\"\u003eWhile the new winery demonstrates great aesthetic taste it is above all highly practical and functional. By exploiting the natural topography of the land the new winery has been designed without the need to use pumps for moving musts and wine around the winery. As the different phases of the process of vinification are carried out on different levels of the winery we are able to exploit the force of gravity for shifting volumes of must or wine around the winery. In this way, the wine is not subjected to the violent impact that is typical of a pump and ensures better preservation of all the wine’s inherent qualities.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003eThe particular micro-climate, soil composition, and hill-side topography of this vineyard provide all the necessary conditions for the making of a red wine of great pedigree. We have made a conscious decision to use all the grapes from this vineyard for the making of this wine, thus eliminating the selection of the best grapes for the making of an Amarone, as tends to be common practice in the Valpolicella region. We have also chosen not to employ the currently fashionable technique of “ripasso” which involves macerating the must of another wine with the pressings of Amarone as we feel the grapes are of such a high quality that this “corrective” measure is unnecessary.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elite Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43207034536193,"sku":"8030562000042","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0149\/9247\/4212\/products\/valpo.png?v=1774651010"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0149\/9247\/4212\/collections\/1200px-Flag_of_Italy.png?v=1587319517","url":"https:\/\/arrowine.com\/collections\/italian-wine\/grape_prugnolo-gentile.oembed","provider":"Arrowine \u0026 Cheese","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
