The most common and widely recognized is Prosecco, the name of a grape grown in Valdobbiadene and Conegliano in Veneto. In this case, the bubbles are attained by the Charmat Method, a process that creates a second fermentation in a large tank before the wine is bottled under pressure. Another popular style is Franciacorta, the name of a small area in Lombardia specializing in growing Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco, and Pinot Nero. The wine is made in the Metodo Classico, or the Champagne Method, where the second fermentation takes place in the bottle. Although these are the two most famous examples of Italian sparkling wine, other regions also achieve great results. Whenever possible, we list disgorgement dates.

This practice may not seem like a radical idea, but it is far from the norm in Champagne. In many ways, these wines are the antithesis of most Champagne on the market. Instead of blending, many producers use only one varietal, from one vineyard or village. In addition to demonstrating a pure expression of the land, Grower Champagne often offers tremendous value.

Négociant-Manipulant The vast majority of Champagne houses fall under this category. These producers are often much larger than Grower-Producers, and are usually easily recognizable brands. Although many do own some of the vineyards they source fruit from, Négociant-Manipulants are best known for their ability to blend Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier from a wide variety of vineyards and vintages to achieve a consistent house style. From the entry-level bottlings to the tête de cuvées, these Champagnes can be some of the most delicious and compelling wines in the world.

While it is technically part of Italy, the feeling here is French. Petite Arvine is the most famous indigenous varietal, and Chardonnay is also widely planted. Château Feuillet, Petite Arvine 2014 59 Piemonte Known more for its red wines, Piemonte is home to several indigenous white varietals. Arneis makes soft, floral wines from the sandy Roero hills. The Cortese grape, famous in the town of Gavi, is often fresh and fruity, and Timorasso yields rich, textural whites from Tortona.

Vermentino and Pigato are the most common white varietals, and grown near the coast they produce clean, fresh, savory whites that pair wonderfully with seafood and vegetables.

Chardonnay can achieve a very high level of quality more similar in style to Burgundy than California in the hands of producers like Lageder and Klaus Gasser at Cantina di Terlano.

Many varietals are produced here with great success, including Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Bianco, and Pinot Grigio. The more intriguing wines are Tocai (which, beginning with the 2007 vintage, will be known as Friulano), Ribolla Gialla, and the less common Malvasia and Vitovska.

The classic blend of Garganega and Trebbiano has recently been modified to include up to 30% Chardonnay. Additionally, young winemakers are producing wines using solely Garganega, often fermented in barrique.

Vernaccia, grown in the hills near San Gimignano, has a long and vibrant history, and recent changes allow the addition of up to 10% Chardonnay. Vermentino has blossomed into a very promising varietal that showcases wild herbs and almonds, and is generally fermented in stainless steel tanks.

Orvieto (also the name of a popular tourist town) was traditionally produced in a slightly sweet style, but is now usually a dry wine. In addition to local varietals like Grechetto and Trebbiano, some wineries have introduced international varietals with great success. Caprai, Grechetto Colli Martani 'Grecante' 2013 45 2010 2007 2009 165 175 163 Abruzzo Trebbiano d'Abruzzo is the grape of importance in this region, and the releases from Edoardo Valentini have often been described as Italy's greatest dry white wine. Overproduction has been a big problem for this varietal, hence the varied levels of quality. #### 98 Emidio Pepe, Colli Apruntini Pecorino Valentini, Trebbiano d'Abruzzo Valentini, Trebbiano d'Abruzzo 18 Campania All the principal white varietals from this region, including Falanghina, Greco di Tufo, and Fiano di Avellino, have been successfully revived in recent years and are achieving unprecedented levels of quality. Falanghina shows an aromatic character, while Greco di Tufo displays minerality, and Fiano di Avellino offers an attractive scent of hazelnuts, pears, and honey. Mastroberardino is primarily responsible for resurrecting this variety, and other producers, in particular Feudi di San Gregorio, are leading the move toward quality. #### Benito Ferrara, Greco di Tufo Vigna Cicogna Ciro Piccariello, Fiano di Avellino '906' 2014 2013 58 70 #### Colli di Lapio di Romano Clelia, Fiano di Avellino Colli di Lapio di Romano Clelia, Fiano di Avellino Colli di Lapio di Romano Clelia, Greco di Tufo 'Alèxandros' 2009 2010 2010 64 55 53 Pietracupa, Fiano di Avellino Pietracupa, Greco di Tufo 2012 2011 55 52 Quintodecimo, Irpinia Falanghina Via del Campo Quintodecimo, Fiano di Avellino 'Exultet' Quintodecimo, Greco di Tufo 'Jaune d'Arles' 2014 2014 2014 95 100 100 Terredora di Paolo, Greco di Tufo 'Loggia della Serra' 2014 49 751 Sicilia Changes in this region have taken place more rapidly than elsewhere in the country, and Sicilia has emerged with a renewed spirit and attitude, as well as a new found respect for its indigenous varietals. After successful efforts with Chardonnay, Sicily's native white grapes, Catarratto, Inzolia, Grillo, and Zibibbo, are now receiving the producers' attention. The relocation of vineyards from the very hot valley floor to cooler, higher elevation sites have allowed the grapes to achieve a more desirable level of acidity, thus ensuring better definition and more character.

Vigne Surrau, Vermentino di Gallura Superiore 'Sciala' 19 Domestic White Wines Chardonnay Chardonnay is the most significant white varietal, produced successfully in many parts of the world in many different styles, from the succulent flavors only found in Burgundy, to the base wine for sparkling wines in Italy and Champagne, and to the ripe and tropical style of Australia and South Africa. Ever since the now famous 1976 tasting in Paris, when Californian wines beat their French counterparts in a blind tasting, California's white wines have been considered some of the best in the world. But these wines are still searching for an identity, as can be seen in the changing styles produced in the state. Evolving from the rich, buttery, and tropical style of the past, we now see a more diligent use of oak and a greater respect for the terroir.

Although roughly one third the size of Barolo, Barbaresco wine styles vary widely between vineyards and producers. The wines of Barbaresco are generally regarded as being a shade softer and less powerful than those of Barolo, and require only two years of oak aging to Barolo's three. Important to note about both Barbaresco and Barolo is the difference between traditional and modern producers. Traditionalists despise technology, employ long fermentations, and age their wines in very large, old casks. Modernists prefer short fermentations, small French barriques, and use technology to extract more flavor. While these styles are quite different, both create wonderfully distinct wines of great character and depth.

While most choose to make wines in Barbaresco or Barolo, Giacosa has been releasing great wines from both zones since the 1960's. Though his talents are countless, his ability to recognize a superb fruit source stands tall above the rest, as he did not buy his first vineyard until 1982. He has made wine from many of the great vineyards in Barbaresco, but over the years he purchased parcels in Asili and Rabaja, and still purchases fruit from Santo Stefano, which has historically been his most impressive wine. In particularly exceptional vintages, Giacosa releases certain wines as 'Red Label Riservas,' these wines combining richness, complexity, and power with incerdible elegance and finesse.

At the time, his wines were decidedly modern, as they were and still are fermented in stainless steel for a relatively short three weeks, then aged in barriques for 12 months before finishing in oak casks for another year. Gaja's Barbaresco combines bright fruit with ageworthy structure.

Sorì San Lorenzo, in the Secondine vineyard, was first released in 1967, and is known to be the most austere and powerful of the cru wines. 1970 marked the first vintage of Sorì Tildin, Gaja's plot in the Roncagliette cru, which combines great structure and finesse. Costa Russi, contiguous to Sorì Tildin, is the most round and elegant of the cru wines. Starting in 1996 all his single-vineyard Barbarescos are blended with 5-8% Barbera in order to strengthen the wines' overall acidity. Doing this prevents the wines from bearing the "Barbaresco" designation, as they are required by law to be 100% Nebbiolo. Gaja also makes a Cabernet Sauvignon called Darmagi, which means 'what a shame.' These words were uttered by Angelo's father when he ripped up old Nebbiolo vines to plant the Cabernet.

A wine of great tradition with a somewhat troubled past, it is now produced with modern methods that yield a fresher, cleaner, and more balanced wine. Five villages produce distinct styles: Barolo and La Morra are most delicate and perfumed, Monforte and Serralunga are richer and more structured, while the wines of Castiglione Falletto strike a balance between the two.

The winery was founded in 1920 by Bartolo's father, who began purchasing parcels of important vineyards, most notably Cannubi and Rocche dell'Annunziata. The Barolo has always been a multi-vineyard blend. The wines are co-fermented in cement for around one month, then aged in large, old botti for two and a half years. These wines are the essence of classic Barolo, and while approachable young, they are most expressive and ethereal after twenty to fifty years.

He owns land in four vineyards, all of which are good enough to be vineyard designates, but in sticking with tradition, he chooses to blend them instead. The elegance of Cannubi San Lorenzo is matched with the power of Ravera, and the classic dark fruit of Brunate is balanced by the muscular frame of Le Coste. Written by wine critic Antonio Galloni in 2008, this quote best describes 'Beppe' Rinaldi's style; "Although Rinaldi has changed out a few barrels recently, the only concession to anything resembling modernity is an old-fashioned rotary telephone, which seems to genuinely annoy him each time it rings." 97 123 222 198 Giuseppe Rinaldi Cannubi San Lorenzo-Ravera Giuseppe Rinaldi Cannubi San

one of the most prized wines in the Langhe. Monprivato is considered by many to be the best vineyard in Castiglione, and along with Giacomo Conterno's Cascina Francia and Bruno Giacosa's Falletto, one of the few monopole vineyards in Barolo. The wine is absolutely traditional, and offers a consistent balance of beautiful aromatics and elegance without sacrificing structure and power. In 1993, a small subplot of the vineyard planted to the Michet clone of Nebbiolo was vinified seperately as a Riserva and named Ca' d'Morissio. Released only in vintages where it is distinctive from Monprivato, it has become one of the elite wines of Barolo.

He worked with his father and brother for years, but decided to create a winery of his own in 1969. He purchased a farm in the Monforte zone of Barolo, and has been making wine with his sons in this area ever since. Monforte is known for the famous Bussia zone, an area of vineyards known to make structured and age-worthy Barolos that manage to offer elegance and approachability not commonly found in these great wines. The entry-level Barolo is a blend of younger vines. Cicala, Colonnello, and Romirasco are all separate single vineyards. 'Granbussia' is a Riserva made in only the very best vintages. The wines are made in a traditional style, except for the use of rotofermenters, which help to extract more color and flavor from the grapes.

The Gavarini vineyard is a monopole of theirs, and in great vintages it produces two Barolos. 'Vigna Chiniera' is the highest part of the vineyard and the soil contains more limestone, so the wine tends to be more focused and mineral-driven. In only the best vintages 'Runcot' is made from the lower part of the vineyard where the fruit is more round and powerful. This wine is aged exclusively in French barriques. In addition to the Gavarini vineyard, the Grassos own part of the famous Ginestra cru. These two Barolos are made in a more traditional style, as they are aged in large old oak barrels. Elio Grasso Barolos are lways incredibly well-balanced, combining immense power with graceful elegance. #### #### #### 156 #### 704 Elio Grasso Gavarini 'Vigna Chiniera' Elio Grasso Gavarini 'Vigna Chiniera' Elio Grasso Gavarini 'Vigna Chiniera' 2005 2007 2007 150 145 295 Elio Grasso Ginestra 'Casa Maté' Elio Grasso Ginestra 'Casa Maté' 2004 2005 160 145 Elio Grasso, Riserva Gavarini 'Runcot' Elio Grasso, Riserva Gavarini 'Runcot' Elio Grasso, Riserva Gavarini 'Runcot' 1999 2001 2007 325 295 265 Magnum 46 Barolo Serralunga d'Alba Cerretta 80 966 Ca' Rome' Elio Altare 2004 2005 135 265 1985 2007 375 120 2004 1998 1999 340 495 475 Brovia Brea 'Ca' Mia' Brovia Brea ' Vigna Ca' Mia' Ca' Rome' Vigna Rionda 2007 2010 1985 195 170 375 Cappellano Gabutti 'Pié Franco' Cappellano Gabutti 'Pié Rupestris' Cappellano Gabutti 'Pié Rupestris' 2008 2003 2007 265 175 155 2006 2001 2008 2009 215 205 200 195 Prapò 746 746 Ceretto Ettore Germano Other Vineyards Azelia Margheria Azelia San Rocco Azelia San Rocco #### Magnum Magnum Magnum Domenico Clerico Badarina 'Aeroplan Servaj' #### Fontanafredda La Rosa Giovanni Rosso Vigna Rionda 'Tommaso Canale' Giovanni Rosso Vigna Rionda 'Tommaso Canale' 47 Barolo Serralunga d'Alba Other Vineyards #### 566 #### 410 362 #### #### 821 Massolino Margheria Massolino, Riserva Vigna Rionda 2007 2001 Palladino, Riserva San Bernardo Palladino, Riserva San Bernardo Palladino, Riserva San Bernardo Palladino, Riserva San Bernardo 3 Liter 3 Liter 160 295 1974 1100 1998 150 1999 875 2001 125 Pio Cesare Ornato Pio Cesare Ornato Pio Cesare Ornato Pio Cesare Ornato 1996 2004 2009 2010 330 275 225 210 Schiavenza, Riserva Broglio 2004 140 Vietti Lazzarito Vietti Lazzarito Vietti Lazzarito Vietti Lazzarito 1990 2005 2006 2007 495 225 235 245 1967 2008 2004 1964 2009 625 97 115 375 100 Multi-Vineyard 322 Cappellano Giovanni Rosso Massolino Pio Cesare Pio Cesare 48 Barolo Bruno Giacosa's Barolos are some of the most amazing traditionally-made wines anywhere in the world.

Roberto Conterno, Giacomo's grandson, currently makes the wine, but stylistically, little has changed over the generations. Purchased in 1974 and first bottled in 1978, Cascina Francia is the name of the 34.6 acre vineyard in Serralunga d'Alba, from which only two Barolos are produced: Cascina Francia and Monfortino. The latter is a blend of the vineyard's best subplots, and is only released in outstanding vintages. Both are aged in large, old Slavonian oak casks, Cascina Francia for four years, and Monfortino for a minimum of seven. The wines can be tannic and austere when young, but given at least ten years, they consistently develop into profoundly complex, glorious examples of the brilliance Nebbiolo can achieve. 463 Giacomo Conterno Giacomo Conterno 1952 890 1958 1125 Giacomo Conterno Cascina Francia Giacomo Conterno Cascina Francia 310 Giacomo Conterno Cascina Francia 406 Giacomo Conterno Cascina Francia 670 Giacomo Conterno Cascina Francia Giacomo Conterno Cascina Francia Giacomo Conterno Cascina Francia 683 Giacomo Conterno Cascina Francia Giacomo Conterno Cascina Francia #### Giacomo Conterno Cascina Francia #### Giacomo Conterno Cascina Francia #### Giacomo Conterno Cascina Francia 568 Giacomo Conterno Cascina Francia 30 Giacomo Conterno Cascina Francia 507 Giacomo Conterno Cascina Francia #### 669 Magnum Magnum Magnum Magnum 1979 895 1990 1195 1990 1975 1995 495 1996 645 1997 645 1998 595 1999 595 2000 495 2000 865 2001 440 2001 890 2003 250 2004 270 2006 675 Giacomo Conterno, Riserva Cascina Francia Giacomo Conterno, Riserva Cascina Francia 1982 1545 1985 1495 Giacomo Conterno, Riserva 'Vini Pregiati' 1958 1330 51 Barolo Only produced in the best vintages, Monfortino can be a difficult wine to understand. Often remarkably approachable when young, the wine seems to go into a period of dormancy, which, depending on the vintage, can last several decades. At its best, Monfortino is a wine of immense power, longevity and grace, and can hold its own not only with the best of Italy, but with the best wines of the world.

'Conteisa' means 'quarrel', referencing the historic dispute between the communes of Barolo and La Morra over the Cerequio land. 93 Angelo Gaja, Barolo Dagromis Angelo Gaja, Barolo Dagromis Angelo Gaja, Barolo Dagromis 2004 2008 2010 235 220 195 1996 2001 400 430 La Morra 142 #### Angelo Gaja, Langhe Cerequio 'Conteisa' Angelo Gaja, Langhe Cerequio 'Conteisa' Serralunga d'Alba Angelo Gaja, Barolo 'Sperss' #### Angelo Gaja, Barolo 'Sperss' 295 Angelo Gaja, Langhe 'Sperss' 737 Angelo Gaja, Langhe 'Sperss' Angelo Gaja, Langhe 'Sperss' 160 Magnum 53 1989 800 1990 835 1996 1125 2000 415 2001 525 Langhe Nebbiolo These are Nebbiolos from Barbaresco and Barolo, but they are typically made in a lighter, more approachable, easy-drinking style.

Also 100% Nebbiolo, Roero differs from the two more famous appellations because of soil. South of the river the soil is dominated by clay and limestone, but in Roero, it is mostly sand. As a result, the wines are usually more aromatic and elegant, possessing softer tannins than Barolo and Barbaresco. #### Brovia, Nebbiolo d'Alba 'Valmaggione' Cascina Ca' Rossa, Roero Riserva Mompissano 2012 2010 54 70 88 Boca, Carema, Ghemme, Lessona, Spanna These villages are all located north of the Langhe, where the soil is generally more granitic and the elevations much higher.

It produces deeply colored red wines showcasing dark fruit flavors, particularly cherries, raspberries, and blackberries. While it has very delicate tannins, its relatively high acidity makes it very adept to the utilization of oak, which is occassionally overused. In Alba, Barbera is often planted in better locations, sometimes in sites that could be designated for Nebbiolo, while the landscape in the Asti area is much more open. As in Barolo and Barbaresco, styles can vary greatly, as many producers in both areas are moving toward the use of oak for a more polished and modern style. 188 Angelo Gaja Sorì Vagnona Bartolo Mascarello Bartolo Mascarello Brovia 'Sorí del Drago' Cogno 'Prephylloxera' Fratelli Alessandria, Superiore 'Priòra' G.D.

The majority of Dolcettos are produced in the zone of Alba, but because of its popularity it is planted in seven districts, with the best results found in Alba and Dogliani. Dolcetto d'Alba is generally more delicate and perfumed than the intense and concentrated version from Dogliani.

Valpolicella and Amarone use the same blend of varietals, but the grapes for the production of Valpolicella are not partially dried as they are for Amarone. Grapes destined to become Amarone are picked and laid out on mats, where they shrivel and remain for months after harvest. The "appassimento," or drying process, takes place indoors with good ventilation to prevent the growth of mold.

This part of Tuscany has witnessed a real renaissance in winemaking, and Brunello has been at its center. The number of producers more than doubled, bringing to the consumer newer wines, very often from young vineyards, and still trying to find a niche among the many different styles. One thing that's remained constant is the high price Brunello has always demanded. Known for its richness, dark color, and its incredible aging potential, this wine can be spectacular when all elements are present, or disappointing if some are lacking. Brunello di Montalcino is definitely one of Italy's most important wines, and frequently among the best. 305 92 401 Biondi-Santi Biondi-Santi Biondi-Santi Biondi-Santi, Riserva 1995 2001 2007 1999 595 395 345 960 Canalicchio di Sopra Canalicchio di Sopra Canalicchio di Sopra, Riserva Canalicchio di Sopra, Riserva 2004 2008 2001 2006 200 165 350 325 Capanna Caprili Casanuova delle Cerbaie 2009 2008 2006 98 110 88 Case Basse di Gianfranco Soldera Case Basse 555 Case Basse di Gianfranco Soldera Case Basse 664 Case Basse di Gianfranco Soldera, Riserva #### Case Basse di Gianfranco Soldera, Riserva #### Case Basse di Gianfranco Soldera, Riserva 484 Case Basse di Gianfranco Soldera, Riserva Intistieti 701 Case Basse di Gianfranco Soldera, Riserva Intistieti 1993 650 1998 485 2002 775 2003 675 2004 995 1995 1150 2000 675 #### 62 Brunello di Montalcino Castiglion del Bosco 2010 100 Cerbaiola di Giulio Salvioni Cerbaiola di Giulio Salvioni #### Cerbaiola di Giulio Salvioni 216 Cerbaiola di Giulio Salvioni 1990 1993 2003 2004 550 395 325 298 Cerbaiona di Diego Molinari Cerbaiona di Diego Molinari Cerbaiona di Diego Molinari 1993 2001 2004 415 375 278 Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona Vigna di Pianrosso Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona Vigna di Pianrosso 1999 2007 225 135 Col d'Orcia Col d'Orcia Col d'Orcia Col d'Orcia Col d'Orcia, Riserva Poggio al Vento Col d'Orcia, Riserva Poggio al Vento 1990 1991 1995 2010 2004 2006 395 375 350 120 275 250 Colleoni Colleoni Colleoni 2008 2009 2010 210 195 175 Conti Costanti Conti Costanti Conti Costanti, Riserva 1990 2004 2007 365 165 195 Fuligni 2004 180 886 63 Brunello di Montalcino 1979 2006 2006 210 335 270 1998 2004 2007 180 175 180 2001 2004 2006 2004 1985 2009 2007 250 150 138 195 385 160 305 Poggio di Sotto Poggio di Sotto Poggio di Sotto Poggio di Sotto 2000 2001 2003 2005 250 320 265 250 Salicutti 'Piaggione' Salicutti 'Piaggione' Salicutti 'Tre Vigne' 2001 2004 2009 195 175 120 #### Silvio Nardi Manachiara Siro Pacenti 2004 2003 195 195 #### Stella di Campalto Stella di Campalto Stella di Campalto Stella di Campalto, Riserva 2005 2007 2008 2009 245 225 200 250 764 Voliero Voliero 2006 2007 125 115 700 #### Il Colle, Riserva Il Paradiso di Manfredi Il Paradiso di Manfredi, Riserva Magnum Il Poggione Il Poggione Il Poggione, Riserva Vigna Paganelli La Togata, Riserva Le Chiuse di Sotto di Gianni Brunelli Le Chiuse di Sotto di Gianni Brunelli 761 Mastrojanni Schiena d'Asino #### Pertimali di Livio Sassetti Pian dell'Orino Pieve Santa Restituta di Angelo Gaja 'Rennina' 951 #### 64 Brunello di Montalcino Valdicava Brunellos are some of the most dark and intensely-concentrated wines in Montalcino.

There is very little work done in the winery, where the wines are aged mostly in large casks. Only three wines are released.

It is made from the Sangiovese grape, locally known as Prugnolo Gentile, with an allowance for up to 20% of other varietals authorized by the province of Siena. At its best it combines the structure and the power found in Brunello di Montalcino with the finesse of the best Chianti Classico. 249 Boscarelli Nocio dei Boscarelli Poliziano Asinone 66 Chianti Classico Chianti Classico is a well defined area in central Tuscany where the most famous of Italian red wines are produced. Wines produced outside this area are labelled simply Chianti. Recent changes in government regulations require that wine is made with 100% Sangiovese, with the flexibility to add up to 20% of international varietals, therefore allowing many of the now famous "Super Tuscan" wines to be classified as legitimate Chiantis. Because the new regulations are less restrictive than in the past, the style among the producers is very different, particularly when affected with Cabernet Sauvignon or Syrah. Nevertheless, these wines are more reliable and better made than ever before, beginning a new era for this storied region. #### #### 577 191 590 591 #### Castellare, Riserva Il Poggiale Castell'in

Thanks to the hard work and perseverance of Marco Caprai, the reputation of the local varietal, Sagrantino, has been restored to the highest level of its history. Sagrantino is a strong, tannic grape that requires a good dose of oak and plenty of aging to smooth the intense tannins and jammy character. Today, Caprai is the benchmark for Sagrantino, producing magnificent, intense red wines with a polished and more elegant structure.

However, lack of direction has been a persistent problem. Consequently, this wine can be all over the map. From insipid or rustic to massive and very focused, from very inexpensive to very expensive, navigating through the production of this wine can be challenging. A new appellation, Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Colline Teramane, recently emerged close to the Adriatic Sea in the Teramo hills, and is expected to deliver a distinctive new style of Montepulciano d'Abruzzo. 2005 1991 85 195 893 Emidio Pepe #### Emidio Pepe #### Emidio Pepe #### Emidio Pepe 1983 1985 1995 2001 365 325 400 175 Torre dei Beati Cocciapazza #### Valentini 2004 2006 72 438 2008 78 621 618 Centorame Dino Illuminati, Vecchio 'Zanna' 420 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Colline Teramane 877 Centorame 'Castellum Vetus' Lazio Lazio has emerged as one of the better areas in Italy for Bordeaux vcarietals, especially Merlot.

Its best interpretation is found in the zone around the commune of Taurasi. The Mastroberardino family deserves credit for discovering that grapes planted in the upper slopes of Irpinia would deliver a better wine, which is how Taurasi was conceived. There are several Aglianico appellations, but the success of this varietal begins and ends with Taurasi. The wines are rich, with loads of dark fruit like plum, raspberry and blackberry, with hints of leather, coffee and tobacco. As in many other parts of the country, new oak found its way into the area, and an appropriate dosage will smooth out the wine and soften Aglianico's tannins.

Rarely vinified on its own, it is usually blended with Syrah, Mourvèdre and many other varietals. Grenache is classically grown in warm climates, and offers ripe red cherry fruit and spicy white pepper aromatics. 336 A Tribute to Grace, Grenache Amador County Shake Ridge Ranch Sine Qua Non, Grenache California 'Pictures' 810 Sine Qua Non, Grenache California 'The Line' 727 Sine Qua Non, Grenache California 'Upside Down' Sine Qua Non, Grenache California 'Dark Blossom' Sine Qua Non, Grenache California 'Female' #### Sine Qua Non, Grenache Santa Rita Hills Eleven Confessions 'The Naked Truth' 923 Sine Qua Non, Grenache Santa Rita Hills Eleven Confessions 'Crosshairs' Sine Qua Non, Grenache Santa Rita Hills Eleven Confessions 'This Is Not An Exit' Sine Qua Non, Grenache Santa Rita Hills Eleven Confessions 'Patine' 336 Wind Gap, Grenache Sonoma County Sceales Vineyard 2013 2007 550 2008 520 2009 495 2011 470 2013 490 2005 995 2006 1000 2009 575 2011 775 2011 85 150 67 Syrah Traditionally from France's Northern Rhone Valley, Syrah is thriving all over California.

On the Right Bank, the two are blended together to make some of the world's most sought-after wines. As is often the case, California is a melting pot, offering examples of both styles, as well as its own pure expressions of each varietal. Cabernet Franc is a more subtle varietal, and provides more savory flavors, like tobacco, bell pepper, and violets. Merlot makes more opulent, fruit-driven wines, usually with concentrated dark fruit and a very smooth, silky texture. #### 95 Blankiet, Merlot Napa Valley Paradise Hills Lewis Cellars, Merlot Napa Valley Neyers, Merlot Conn Valley Neyers Ranch Shafer, Merlot Napa Valley 2004 2013 2012 2013 285 135 63 105 Cabernet Sauvignon & Blends Cabernet Sauvignon is the dominant varietal in many of the world's greatest wines, and is often supplemented with small amounts of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Petit Verdot. Known for dark fruit and firm tannins, Cabernet Sauvignon has what it takes to age very well. Wines from the Left Bank of Bordeaux are a perfect example of this, and many California Cabernets focus on structure and balance in an attempt to emulate this style. Other producers choose to embrace the warmth of our state, making ripe, concentrated wines that are certainly more crowd-pleasing, but perhaps not as ageworthy. Regardless of style, California has proved itself to be one of the best places in the world for Cabernet Sauvignon.
