The Taste of Italy selection includes 3 bottles of each of the following wines:

Brunello di Montalcino San Giacomo 2015
Their wine is solid, elegant and well balanced. The aromas are exactly what you would expect from a Brunello. It begins with violet, cherry and ripe plum then slowly the tertiary aromas begin to show up, bringing you tobacco, vanilla and licorice. The balsamic note arrives in the nose with delicacy and is never overwhelming. The earthy hints are supported by a nice minerality. The sip is enveloping, full and fresh. The tannins are well balanced and the wood aging adds the right roundness to the wine. The finish is long, clean and leaves a taste of red berries, making the mouth immediately ready for another sip.

Barolo Tenuta L'illuminata 2015
The wine contains all of the emblematic characteristics of this spectacular grape variety harvested from one of the best plots in the world growing grapes. The color is ruby red with light orange reflections. The nose is clean and intense, with notes of cherry, plum jam, vanilla and hay. The taste is full, mineral, harmonious, and warm, with soft tannins and a persistent finish that is reminiscent of licorice and tobacco. The tannins are aggressive but fade quickly. A versatile and enjoyable wine.

Barbaresco Produttori del Barbaresco 2016
This Barbaresco is an exceptional wine. It is a red that immediately proves itself to be top level. It is fine, with an elegant nose and spicy notes that anticipate a greatly structured palate, surrounded by silky tannins and never intrusive. In the glass, a beautiful garnet red with ruby highlights. The nose has intense scents of currant, blueberry and raspberry. In the mouth, the wine is deep and warm, the tannins are strong although sometimes jittery, but that is charisma. An interesting vintage with amazing potential for aging, in part thanks to the superb acidity. A must-try wine!

Amarone Della Valpolicella Corte Giara 2016
The wine has a deep, impenetrable ruby red color, a result of the accumulation of polyphenols caused by the initial withering of the grapes. The bouquet impresses with its powerful fruit scents, boasting an extraordinary prevalence of ripe cherries and marasca cherries. These fruit notes merge with pleasant peppery spices and cloves. The sip is enveloping, intense and soft. The traditional acidic note combines well with the softness of the fruit, forming a pleasant contrast.
