Italian Wine

Guido Porro · Dolcetto d'Alba DOC · Vigna Pari · 2020

Guido Porro Dolcetto d'Alba “Vigna Pari” 2020 is a rich, expressive Piedmont red made from 100% Dolcetto. Ripe blackberry, dark cherry, plum and wild-berry aromas mingle with earth, spice and smoke. Juicy dark fruit, gentle tannins and a savory finish give this dry, medium-bodied wine an approachable balance of depth and freshness.

The Producer & Vineyard

Fourth-generation winemaker Guido Porro works in Serralunga d'Alba, in the Langhe hills of Piedmont. Vigna Pari occupies a prime position at the top of the Lazzarito hillside, overlooking vineyards devoted to Barolo. Rather than a secondary slope often reserved for Dolcetto, this site benefits from excellent sun exposure and clay-limestone soils that support concentration and character.

Traditional production and minimal intervention preserve the wine's Piedmontese identity. Sustainable farming and the vineyard's favorable growing conditions underpin a Dolcetto suited to everyday meals as well as a generous Italian dinner.

Pairing & Serving

Pair with hearty lasagna, pasta with meat sauce, roasted chicken, grilled sausages, mushroom risotto, pizza or aged Italian cheeses. Try serving slightly below room temperature to highlight its fruit and freshness.

Gulfi Carjcanti DOC Sicilia Carricante 2022 Organic 750ml

Gulfi is one of Sicily's most respected family estates, based in Chiaramonte Gulfi in the Monti Iblei hills of Ragusa — a world away from the volcanic drama of Etna, yet equally compelling. The Carjcanti is made from 100% Carricante, an indigenous Sicilian grape variety traditionally associated with Etna, here grown at 420 meters altitude on limestone-clay soils using traditional alberello training with 9,000 vines per hectare. Certified organic, no irrigation, natural yeasts — this is winemaking with deep respect for the land.

Aged one year in 500L and 2,500L oak barrels followed by several months in bottle, the 2022 Carjcanti is a wine of real tension and complexity — mineral, savory, and built to age, yet already showing beautiful aromatic detail and a palate that rewards every sip.

"Sweet almond paste, young peaches, hints of flint and smoke waft up from this wine. Its soft texture soothes as a savory display of herbal-tinged orchard fruits and salty minerals wash across the palate. There’s a lovely cut of acidity as this finishes with youthful tension revealing hints of hazelnuts and inner florals."

I Favati | Pietramara | Fiano di Avellino DOCG | Campania, Italy | 2024

Vinous 91 Points | The 2024 Fiano di Avellino Pietramara lifts from the glass with an inviting bouquet of crushed apples and pears, pine shavings, stone dust and raw almond. It splashes across the palate with soft textures and a lifted feel. Masses of mineral-inflected pit fruits and hints of citrus slowly saturate. This finishes long yet fresh, leaving a subtle inner tension and a saline tinge that lingers long.

Vinous: 91 Points (Prior 2023 vintage) — Minty herbs combine with crushed stone and nuances of exotic spice as the Pietramara blossoms in the glass. Soothingly round, displaying a pretty inner sweetness balanced by juicy acidity and a core of tart orchard fruits. Hints of raw almond mix with candied citrus, showing a sweet and sour character through the long and mouthwatering finale.

I Favati is one of Campania's most respected family estates, farming the volcanic hillside vineyards of Avellino with a commitment to expressing the singular character of Fiano — one of southern Italy's most ancient and distinguished white varieties. The Pietramara is the estate's flagship Fiano di Avellino, sourced from old vines planted in the high-altitude soils of the Irpinia hills, where cool temperatures, volcanic ash and mineral-rich limestone combine to produce whites of remarkable depth, tension and longevity.

Fiano di Avellino has been prized since antiquity — the Romans called it Vitis Apiana, the vine of the bees, for the irresistible sweetness of its grapes. Today it is recognized as one of Italy's finest white DOCG appellations, capable of producing wines that age gracefully for a decade or more. The Pietramara is vinified to honor that tradition: fermented in stainless steel to preserve freshness and aromatic precision, with extended lees contact adding texture and complexity.

The 2024 opens with aromas of lemon peel, ripe pear, white peach and a distinctive smoky, mineral note — the hallmark of Avellino's volcanic soils. With air, hints of almond blossom, dried herbs, grilled pineapple and hazelnut emerge. The palate is medium-bodied and beautifully balanced, with bright acidity, a creamy texture and a long, mouthwatering finish marked by citrus, stone fruit and a clean saline minerality.

Serve well chilled at 48–52°F. An excellent aperitif and a natural partner for seafood, grilled fish, shellfish, light pasta with cream or herb sauces, roasted vegetables, fresh cheeses and the classic dishes of Campania.

Expert Review - Vintage 2020

Antonio Galloni writes:  The 2020 Cepparello is a total stunner, just as it was last year. Deeply colored, layered and explosive in the glass, the 2020 possesses striking textural richness and overall intensity. Black cherry, graphite, plum, spice and lavender flesh out effortlessly. There's tremendous pedigree and sheer stature here. Cepparello is surely one of the wines of the year.  Drinking 2027 to 2045.  - Vinous 98

The Wine Advocate, Monica Larner, 96 Points | Supple and smooth, the 2020 Cepparello brings Sangiovese to soaring heights in a manner only Paolo De Marchi can manage. This is his second to last vintage before he would retire and sell this historic estate. The wine opens to medium to full-bodied concentration with dark plum and redcurrant. Those cede to sweet spice, earth, crushed stone, rusty nail and candied orange peel. Give the wine more time to flesh out with cellar age.

The Wine Spectator 96 Points | Expressive and sumptuous from the get-go, this red features cherry, strawberry, rose, orange peel, mineral and Tuscan herb aromas and flavors. Sangiovese. Best from 2025 through 2045.

James Suckling 94 Points | Attractive red and dark berries with dried flowers, nutmeg and cocoa powder. Dried orange peel and wet earth, too. Medium- to full-bodied, toned and steady with fine-grained tannins that are slightly chalky. Polished and even with a lingering finish. Try after 2026.

Jeio by Bisol · Prosecco DOC Brut · Veneto · Italy

Jeio is the Prosecco DOC line from Bisol, one of the Valdobbiadene region’s most storied families — named in honor of Desiderio Bisol, the patriarch whose wife affectionately called him “Jeio.” Desiderio was a visionary: he sought out only the steepest, most difficult-to-farm plots in the region, believing that the challenge of the terrain produced Glera of exceptional quality. His instinct was right. The Glera grown on these high-altitude sites outside Valdobbiadene is especially rich in malic acid, giving the wine a dynamic, evolved character that sets it apart from ordinary Prosecco. Fresh, saline, and built for the aperitivo hour.

Brilliant straw yellow with an extremely fine and lively perlage. The nose is intense and fresh — citrus fruits, white flowers, and saline sensations. On the palate, it is fruit-forward and refreshing with bright acidity and a clean, crisp finish. Everything you want from a great Prosecco, nothing you don’t.

• Producer: Bisol (Jeio line), Valdobbiadene, Veneto, Italy
• Appellation: Prosecco DOC

Prosecco DOC — steep-vineyard Glera from the Bisol family’s Jeio line. Fine perlage, saline freshness, and built for the aperitivo hour.

Jeio Prosecco Superiore — Valdobbiadene DOCG NV

Jeio is the approachable, fruit-forward label from Bisol1542, one of Valdobbiadene’s most celebrated Prosecco houses with roots stretching back nearly five centuries. This Prosecco Superiore DOCG is sourced from the steep hillside vineyards of Valdobbiadene — a UNESCO World Heritage landscape — where the Glera grape finds its most expressive, aromatic form. Elegant, lively, and built for the moment. James Suckling awarded it 91 points.

The nose is fresh and inviting: lemon, lime, spiced pear, and white flowers with a fine, persistent perlage. On the palate, it is smooth, medium-bodied, and flavorful — bright citrus fruit and delicate fruitiness balanced by a clean, refreshing finish. The ideal aperitif, and a natural companion to the table.

🇮🇹 James Suckling 91 — “A fresh and lively Prosecco with lots of lemon and lime character, as well as spiced pears.”

Jermann · Friuli Venezia Giulia · 2025

It was the 18th century when Stefanus migrated from the Austrian Burgenland to the village of Bilijana, in what is today Slovenia. In 1881, Anton Jermann, Silvio's great-grandfather, moved from Bilijana to Villanova, planting the roots of a family whose name would come to define Friuli winemaking.

Quality year upon year, innovation, deep pride in his heritage, and respect for the patriarch who left home to settle in Friuli have driven Silvio Jermann to leave a lasting mark on the world of wine. In 2016, Gambero Rosso crowned him the world's best representative winemaker of Italian white wines, the result of decades of research for excellence, absolute respect for the land, and a restless, visionary approach to blending that didn't exist before him.

"I want to create a wine as I imagine it."
— Silvio Jermann

Winemaker Description — Vintage 2025

Pinot Grigio Jermann captivates with its bright acidity, flavors of citrus, white peach, and a hint of almonds. This wine reflects Jermann's commitment to crafting expressive and complex Pinot Grigio from their vineyards in Friuli-Venezia Giulia.

Expert Review — Prior Vintage 2023

Allison Napjus, Wine Spectator, 90 Points — This bright white is light- to medium-bodied, with a creamy density to the well-meshed flavors of apricot and mango fruit, blood orange peel, salted almond, anise and white blossoms. Lip-smacking and vivacious through the mineral-laced finish. Drink now through 2030.

Pairings & Serving

This Pinot Grigio's bright acidity and citrus-driven profile make it a natural with seafood, light pastas, and soft cheeses. Serve well chilled, around 45–50°F, to highlight its freshness.

It is a single-vineyard wine from the subzone of Terre dei Vestini, in the rolling hills near the Abruzzo coast and the city of Pescara. The Bellovedere is intended to demonstrate the great possibilities of Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, and as such the wine is produced only in the years with great weather conditions and fully mature grapes. The Bellovedere vineyard takes its name from a park in the center of Spoltore with a view of the vineyards and the ridgeline of the Gran Sasso peaks behind, as shown on the label.

Lamberti Prosecco 187ml

Named after one of Verona's oldest noble families, Lamberti has been crafting wines from the Veneto since 1964. This single-serve 187ml Prosecco is a delightful expression of the Glera grape — dry, elegant, and effervescent — perfect for intimate celebrations, aperitivo moments, or anytime you want a glass of Italian sparkle without opening a full bottle.

Pale straw yellow with fine, persistent bubbles. Delicate aromas of green apple, honeydew, and fresh pear. On the palate, crisp and dry with a clean, refreshing finish.

Le Sciare Primitivo Rocca Normanna — Puglia, Italy 2024

Cantine Due Palme is one of southern Italy's most celebrated cooperatives, founded in 1989 in Cellino San Marco in the province of Brindisi by Angelo Maci — a third-generation winemaker whose family has farmed the sun-drenched soils of Salento for decades. Le Sciare Primitivo is sourced from old vines planted on the region's distinctive sandy coastal soils, which stress the vines naturally and concentrate flavor to extraordinary levels. The result is a full-bodied, hedonistic Primitivo that delivers unexpected complexity at its price point — a genuine over-achiever from the heel of Italy's boot.
