"Pretty aromatics emerge from the 2005 La Ricolma (100% Merlot). This is an elegant, finessed Ricolma, with a core of ripe red fruit, menthol, spices and flowers. The tannins need bottle age to settle down, yet this will always remain a slender, feminine version of this wine. It offers notable elegance and balance in the context of the vintage in a style that is equal parts expression of terroir and variety."

Italy grows more indigenous grape varieties than any other country and produces wine in all 20 of its regions. From Piedmont's Nebbiolo to Tuscany's Sangiovese, its finest wines pair structure and bright acidity with a strong sense of place.
The heartland of Sangiovese, producing Chianti Classico, Brunello di Montalcino and the Cabernet-influenced 'Super Tuscans' of the coast. Its wines balance bright acidity, savory structure and cellar-worthiness.
Produces plush, supple, fruit-forward reds with plum and chocolate notes. Softer and earlier-maturing than Cabernet, it adds flesh and roundness to blends and stars in Right Bank Bordeaux.
