Themed Wine Packages
Selections include duos, trios, six-bottle, or twelve-bottle cases.

Duo of Amarone:
Having long resided in the upper echelon of Italian wine, no other dry wine in the world offers Amarone’s level of extraction and complexity. Such depth is achieved through the appassimento process, during which winemakers spread out carefully selected grapes in single layers to dry on straw or plastic mats for 60 to 100 days. During this time, the grapes loose a substantive amount of water weight, dramatically concentrating their sugars. Thereafter, the raisined grapes are crushed and fully fermented into a dry, full-bodied wine marked by high alcohol (a minimum of 14%, though it frequently attains between 15 - 16%). Part of its great intrigue lies in its deceptive nature: While the palate may initially interpret it as sweet, it finishes wholly dry, a quality that is often rather austere in certain productions. Includes the Nicolis Amarone Ambrosan 2001 and Begali Amarone Monte Ca Bianca 2003.
Two bottles.

Price: $176.00
SOLD OUT

Duo of Massolino Barolo:
One of Piemonte’s most respected traditionalist producers, Massolino produced only a Barolo normale for several years (first released in 1911), adhering to the original conception of Barolo—a multisource effort. Over the years, however, Massolino acquired significant holdings in Serralunga d’Alba, precipitating its movement into the single-vineyard genre, most notably through its flagship bottling, Vigna Rionda. Made in vintages of the highest caliber, Massolino’s Vigna Rionda is aged for 3½ to 4 years in Slavonian oak, while the normale bottling sees 2 to 2½ years in oak. It is known for being a wine of longevity, realizing its complex persona over an extended maturation period. Includes the 1999 and 2000 Riserva’s.
Includes the 1999 and 2000 Riserva selections
Price: $221.10

Duo of Scavino 2004 Barolo:
Scavino, along with Valentino Migliorini and about ten others, was responsible for the movement that changed the character and direction of Barolo forever. These men were dubbed “The Barolo Boys”—the winemakers often credited for making Barolo internationally popular. Includes Bric del Fiasc and Ambrogio, the most historic cru and the newest.
Two bottles.
Price: $231.10

Duo of Famiglia Anselma Barolo:
Maurizio Anselma is an emerging force in Barolo and the spirit behind a new estate, Famiglia Anselma. Established in 1993, the estate released its first Barolo in 1997. They are one of the largest land owners in the area, owning more than eighty hectares in three of the most prized Barolo production zones: Monforte d’Alba, Serralunga and Barolo. Unlike most producers, the Anselmas choose only the best grapes from the choicest vineyards to produce their wine. These are wines of great balance and structure with power and an underlying elegance, just as Barolo should be. Includes 2000 and 2001 Riserva and 2003 normale.
Three bottles.
Price: $145.20
