Ferrando: 2019 was Great in Carema Too

Ferrando: 2019 was Great in Carema Too

The 2019 vintage in Piemonte is on the minds of Nebbiolo maniacs around the world. Blessed with intensity and concentration, the wines of the top producers are bound for incredibly long, delicious lives and the scores in the press and the prices in the market clearly reflect this deserved excitement.

Montevertine: Non-Chianti Sangiovese Magic

Montevertine's wines do what only our very favorite Chiantis can: they are purely, deliciously Chianti, but also perfect expressions of their limestone-soiled Radda subzone. And their new release of the "basic" Pian del Ciampolo and their mid-priced "Montevertine” prove it.

Nanclares: Salty, Simple Albarino

Nanclares: Salty, Simple Albarino

Albariño is one of our favorite under-the-radar varieties. It’s minerally, versatile and terroir-transparent, and it’s still possible to find extraordinary examples of this grape from Galicia’s best winemakers for less than $30.

Envinate’s Albahra: A Gem from Spain’s Hottest Producer

Envínate's story sounds like something out of a movie — four friends meet at university and band together to create gorgeous wines, respecting the local grapes and traditions of their respective hometowns, in hugely varied corners of Spain. It sounds like a lark, but these four friends are making some of the most iconic wines of the New Spain movement.

Boutanche Gamay: The Ultimate in Drinkability

The Boutanche is a Beaujolais that is very self-consciously Drinkable. The image of the pig on the label draining his glass perhaps gives it away.
Francophones might also have guessed, as “Boutanche” is another French word for “glou glou” – that is, a wine that may be happily guzzled.

Chateau Massereau: Great Bordeaux, But Nor for Parker

When we first met Jean-François Chaigneau we were quite pleased when he told us that he “hated” Robert Parker and that the last thing that he wanted in his wine was a “gob” or an “explosion”. His words were particularly poignant because Jean-Francois Chaigneau comes from Bordeaux, the area that fell under Parker’s sway more than any other.

Alessandria: Get Super Local with Pelaverga

Alessandria: Get Super Local with Pelaverga

In Italy, things have a way of getting very specific very fast. Leave the main hubs of the wine region – Alba, or the Commune of Barolo – and you might find that people are drinking something else entirely. Go to the village of Verduno, and they’re drinking a grape called Pelaverga.
