Artisan Italy Silver
|
|
|
|
From Sangiovese to Trebbiano and the wide viticultural variations that lie in between, navigating the wine shop shelves to find an Italian wine that will complement a Friday night lasagna can be a fun-filled experience. While Italy has successfully planted the vast majority of the dominant international grape varietals, the country's domestic vines are what offer the true flavor characteristics that have made Italian wines world reknown for ages. With literally hundreds of wines produced in Italy annually, it is no wonder that selecting Italian wines can be a bit intimidating. Therefor pick from the Artisan collection some wines and make it a new experience. You will enjoy it.

Brunello Di Montalcino
|
|
Sangiovese Grosso
|
|
Bright ruby-red. Sexy, highly aromatic nose combines wild berry liqueur, smoke, leather, earth, coffee, meat and licorice. Lush, suave and smooth, with broad, silky flavors of raspberry and smoked meat. Rich but not especially sweet thanks to firm acids. Conveys an impression of concentration and extract perfectly supported by spine. Finishes broad but shapely, with firm tannins and excellent length.

Deep purple in color, Giusto di Notri ofers abundant and very intense aromas of blackberry, plum, chocolate-covered strawberries, and currants followed by enticing notes of bell pepper, coriander, violet and a touch of vanilla. Full bodied, with rich, sweet tannins, and a jammy texture, Giusto di Notri is a stunning wine with great aging potential. Ideal for barbecued ribs, steaks, grilled meats and medium-aged cheeses.
A classic, Bordeaux-inspired blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc, harvested between late September and early October. After a gentle
pressing, the must is macerated with the skins for 15 to 18 days. The cap is manually punched down daily for greater color and lavor extraction. The wine is aged for 14 months in Allier and Troncais barrels and reined six months in bottle before release.

IGT Roccamonina
|
-NA-
|
|
The 2004 displays a purple opaque color and lovely ripe black cherry fruit, oak, and smoky aromas on the nose. On the palate it is elegant, with highly concentrated fruit, a lush modern feel, beautiful balance and big tannins.
Made from 80% Aglianico and 20% Piedirosso grapes grown in volcanic soils at 1,300 feet above sea level. After fermentation, the wine was aged in new Allier and Nevers barriques for 12 months. In southern Italy, Aglianico produces wines of great complexity and elegance. Piedirosso, meaning “red foot”, is named for the smaller stem that attaches a single grape to the rest of the bunch. Look closely and ind that this part of the vine is reddish in color. In this, their native environment, Piedirosso and Aglianico show their full, breath-taking potential.
