2013 Italian Wine

This celebrated single-vineyard wine follows through with many of the attractive themes presented in the base Brunello, only you get more robust intensity and power here. The 2013 Brunello di Montalcino Montosoli is slightly more... Read More

Ruby red, tending to garnet red with ageing. Hints of humus and a broad, ethereal and compound aroma. Strong character and structure of great thickness.

Pair with red and roast meat, along with noble game.

This is a fantastic wine. The 2013 Bolgheri Superiore Guado Al Tasso reveals soaring aromas of dark fruit, plum, blackberry, savory spice, tobacco and leather. The results are seamless, harmonious and generous in intensity. This... Read More

The 2013 Montefalco Sagrantino Collepiano is a darkly endowed and extracted wine that shows similar pedigree to Caprai's top wines. Except this wine is a tad more affordable. It is also much more versatile, and I could imagine... Read More

The 2013 Barolo Tradizione opens to medium color intensity and a ruby-garnet color. This is a classically-styled Barolo from a classic vintage that showed a long growing season for slow and steady ripening of fruit (that Nebbiolo... Read More

This is well-mannered, displaying cherry, plum, earth, mineral and tobacco flavors. Vibrant and harmonious, but needs to shed some tannic elements to really sing. Fine length.

Cherry and plum flavors highlight this well-structured red, along with notes of leather, earth and wild herbs. Firms up as the dense tannins come into play on the finish. Best from 2022 through 2037. 48,350 cases made, 8,500 cases... Read More

The 2013 Amarone della Valpolicella Monte Lodoletta is my favorite wine in the retrospective, along with the amazing 2011, 2009 and 1996 vintages. This wine was released at the beginning of this year, and because Dal Forno skipped... Read More

Light garnet with very bright orange-ruby highlights. It is a Brunello of old. An elegant, subtle, soft wine with great volume but unmistakable lightness. The tannins are velvety. On the nose, notes of fresh cherries, violets... Read More
