Spectacular shots of vineyards and the Langhe region around Monforte d’Alba.

Established in 1925, the Giovanni Manzone winery is a family-run operation with 8.5 hectares of prime vineyards, farmed organically. Manzone’s high-elevation vineyards (1,500ft asl) and their extreme steepness foster naturally low-yielding vines.

In the cellar, traditional-style winemaking includes long macerations (30-45 days) and aging in large barrels and tonneaux (500 and 700lt). Minimal amounts of SO2 are added and all the wines are unclarified and unfiltered.

Wine Spectator says that Manzone is ‘a small producer who does magic with Nebbiolo’.

Their Barolo crus, Gramolere, Castelletto and Bricat are consistently rated very highly across all major trade publications.

Perhaps it was a coincidence or maybe it was a twist of faith that, in 1983, Cosimo Loia purchased the Palazzo estate, which carried the same family name as his wife Antonietta. After spending several years in Scotland, Cosimo and Antonietta fell in love with the Montalcino area and decided to pursue their dream and appreciation for country living and settled in Montalcino with their children.

A picturesque farm, located on the southeastern slope of Montalcino, Palazzo covers 12 hectares (30 acres) at an altitude of 320 meters (1050 ft) above sea level. The soils of Eocene origin and stony and arid and particularly suitable for growing Sangiovese.

Palazzo’s vineyards cover approx 4 hectares, 3 more hectares are dedicated to olive trees. The vineyards enjoy perfect sun exposure and are well protected from the sea breezes. A strict selection during the growing season allows the grapes to ripen well before being individually handpicked.

Palazzo is considered a boutique winery producing approx. 25,000 bottles annually. Keeping things small allows Palazzo to continue under the strict management of the family and ensure that the wines retains the highest quality, as proven by the impressive line-up of ratings and accolades.

‘Lunae Bosoni, one of Liguria’s top producers, consistently makes a stunning line up of Vermentino wines. The 2020 maintains that tradition. Riper than usual in this vintage, its nonetheless very energetic acidity holds everything together. An intriguing and uplifting saline touch keeps you interested and invites another sip. This is a great choice for a spicy seafood pasta or sushi. If this helps you find it, ‘Etichetta Grigia’ means Grey Label’. 90 POINTS (M.A. March 2021) winereviewonline.com

Michele Castellani Valpolicella Ripasso 2017 is the top scoring red wine from Veneto on Wine Spectator today. Rated 91 and SMART BUY.

Made in the ‘ripasso’ style, meaning that the basic valpolicella wine is ‘re-passed’ (refermented) with the dried skins and pomace from which the Amarone has been pressed. This process increases color, body and complexity of aromas.

Green practices like cover cropping provide an array of important benefits to vineyards, such as building soil structure, increasing soil organic matter, improving filtration and water holding capacity, limiting soil erosion, altogether enhancing the root environment. Great wines come from healthy vines.

These are the Sangiovese vineyards , a boutique, family-run winery on the southeastern slope of Montalcino. A must try.

-Extra Dry is pleasantly sweet, balanced by a vibrant acidity.
