Wine is made in each of twenty regions across the country and its island regions of Sicily and Sardinia, producing diverse wines of all styles. DENOMINAZIONE DI ORIGINE CONTROLLATA E GARANTITA The highest level of quality! Very strict rules govern the maximum yield of the grapes and aging requirements. The wines must meet the approval of a special tasting panel before they can achieve D.O.C.G. status. DENOMINAZIONE DI ORIGINE CONTROLLATA The next level of quality applies to wines made from specified grape varieties, specified areas of production and specific aging requirements. These specifications are not as stringent as those of D.O.C.G. and do not always guarantee good quality. One of the main complaints about D.O.C. is that the maximum yields allowed are very high, which obviously places quantity before quality in terms of importance. INDICAZIONE GEOGRAFICA TIPICA This level was added by the revisions of 1992 to cover table wines from specific geographical areas using varieties that were excluded in the original laws. This allows these wines to have the region of origin and the varietal on the label. For many wineries the IGT wines are the finest of their production. 5 FRANCIACORTA Franciacorta is Italy’s answer to Champagne. This area which is located in the region of Lombardia in Northern Italy has truly come to the forefront of the production of Sparkling wine. Here you will find the same soils and grape varieties as in Champagne, with the same method of production. The leader of the pack in terms of style and quality is Bellavista, which has received rave reviews from most international wine critics who have consistently rated the sparkling Franciacorta 90 points and above.

In the hills of Veneto, under the Dolomite Alps, Prosecco is produced. It is a light, refreshing, slightly citrus sparkling wine, great as an aperitif or just to sip on its own. 143 Martini & Rossi, Prosecco IGT Split 141 Bisol, “Crede” Prosecco di Valdobbiadene DOC “Prosecco-Pinot Bianco-Verdiso” 6 NV 10 NV 40 VINI BIANCHI VALLEE D’AOSTE Bin No. 200 Les Cretes, Cuvee Frissonniere DOC Vintage 08 Btl. 65 09 60 08 35 09 40 08 45 09 70 06 250 08 95 07 65 09 50 07 95 09 55 07 115 09 45 09 55 “Chardonnay” 210 Grosjean, Vigne Rovettaz “Petite Arvine” VENETO 202 Anselmi, San Vincenzo DOC “Garganega-Chardonnay-Trebbiano di Soave" 201 Pieropan, Soave Classico DOC “Garganega-Trebbiano di Soave” 204 Suavia, Soave Classico DOC “Garganega-Trebbiano di Soave” PIEDMONT 207 Bruno Giacosa DOCG “Roero Arneis” 203 Gaja, Gaia & Rey DOCG “Chardonnay” 205 La Scolca, Gavi di Gavi Black Label DOCG “Cortese” 208 Scavino, Sorriso Langhe DOC “Chardonnay-Sauvignon-Viognier” 206 Villa Sparina, Gavi di Gavi DOCG “Cortese” TRENTINO-ALTO ADIGE 215 Cantina Terlano, Terlaner Quarz DOC “Sauvignon” 214 Elena Walch, Castel Ringberg DOC “Pinot Grigio” 219 Elena Walch, Beyound the Clouds DOC “Chardonnay-Sauvignon-Pinot Bianco-Gewurtztraminer” 213 Maso Poli DOC “Pinot Grigio” 211 Santa Margherita DOC “Pinot Grigio” FRIULI VENEZIA GIULIA 228 Bortoluzzi, Venezia Giulia IGT “Pinot Grigio” 08 45 223 Jermann, Chardonnay IGT 09 45 09 65 09 50 09 65 07 125 07 140 09 65 08 40 “Chardonnay” 222 Jermann, Pinot Bianco IGT “Pinot Bianco” 220 Jermann, Pinot Grigio IGT “Pinot Grigio” 221 Jermann, Vinnae IGT “Ribolla Gialla-Tocai-Riesling” 224 Jermann, Vintage Tunina IGT “Chardonnay-Sauvignon-Ribolla Gialla-Malvasia Istriana-Picolit” 225 Jermann, Were Dreams IGT “Chardonnay” 229 Livio Felluga, Collio DOC “Pinot Grigio” LIGURIA 230 Colle dei Bardellini, Pigato Riviera di Ponente DOC “Pigato” 7 TUSCANY Bin No. 234 Antinori, Tenuta Guado al Tasso DOC Vintage 09 Btl. 50 08 65 08 45 09 45 08 35 08 50 07 95 08 50 07 55 08 45 07 90 08 35 08 45 09 40 “Vermentino” 231 Cabreo, La Pietra IGT “Chardonnay” 233 Castello Banfi, San Angelo IGT “Pinot Grigio” 232 Poggio al Tesoro, Solosole IGT “Vermentino” 235 Toscolo DOCG “Vernaccia di San Gimignano” MARCHE 238 Bucci, Verdicchio Classico dei Castelli di Jesi DOC “Verdicchio” UMBRIA 241 Antinori, Castello della Sala “Cervaro” IGT “Chardonnay-Greccheto” CAMPANIA 245 Villa Matilde, Greco di Tufo DOCG “Greco” 246 Mastroberardino, Fiano di Avellino DOCG “Fiano di Avellino” 248 Terredora, Falanghina IGT “Falanghina” SICILY 250 Planeta IGT “Chardonnay” 251 Tasca D’Almerita, Regaleali Bianco IGT “Sauvignon-Tasca-Inzolia-Cataratto” SARDINIA 243 Argiolas, Serralori Rosato IGT Isola dei Nuraghi “Cannonau-Monica-Carignano-Bovale Sardo” 260 Santadi, Villa Solais DOC “Vermentino di Sardegna” 8 CALIFORNIA CHARDONNAY Bin No. Vintage Btl. 306 Cakebread, Napa 09 90 304 Far Niente, Napa 09 105 321 Girard, Russian River 08 50 305 Kistler, Les Noisetiers – Sonoma Mountain 08 115 312 Matanzas Creek, Sonoma 07 55 317 Grgich Hills, Estate Grown – Napa 07 85 303 Patz Hall, Napa 07 75 318 Peter Michael, Ma Belle Fille – Knights Valley-Sonoma 08 165 319 Peter Michael, Mon Plaisir – Sonoma 08 165 316 Sonoma-Cutrer, Russian River Ranches 08 50 SAUVIGNON BLANC 340 Charles Krug, Napa 09 40 331 Frog’s Leap, Napa 09 50 341 Joel Gott, California 09 40 330 Robert Mondavi, Reserve – Fume Blanc – Napa 07 70 334 Whitehaven, Marlborough – New Zealand 09 40 08 55 OTHER VARIETIES 335 Conundrum, Napa 9 PIEDMONT The largest region by size in Italy, Piedmonte means, “Foot of the Mountain”, accurately describing its location at the base of the Alps. Piemonte is seventh in terms of wine volume among Italy’s regions, producing some of the best wines in Italy. Piemonte has close to 50 of Italy’s D.O.C./D.O.C.G. zones, more than any other region. This region is primarily a red wine region, and is best known for its two noble wines, Barolo and Barbaresco, both made from the Nebbiolo varietal. Nebbiolo is named for the fog {Nebbia} that often blankets the vineyards of the Langhe and Monferrato hills area, where 90% of Piemonte’s wines come from. These wines are robust and full-bodied, and for Barolo and Barbaresco in particular, long-lived. The most widely cultivated grapes in Piemonte, however are Barbera and Dolcetto, from which prominent red wines of the same name are made. Both Barbera and Dolcetto are dry wines, but not as tannic and full-bodied as Barolo and Barbaresco. They are softer and intended for earlier consumption. 10 BARBARESCO – DOCG One of the best wines in Italy, Barbaresco is made from the red grape Nebbiolo around the village of Barbaresco in the Langhe Hills. The wines are dry, robust and tannic in their youth and develop beautifully in the bottle. Barbaresco must be aged in wood for two years before it is released, three years for Riserva. This aging helps soften the tannins and acid in the wine.

Barolo is a larger production zone than Barbaresco. This wine is also made from the Nebbiolo grape. It is similar to Barbaresco, but is generally bigger, more tannic and requires longer aging: 3 years, of which 2 are in wood. The Riserva is aged 5 years.

In these areas, Barbera is thought of as “the poor man’s Barolo”. When this varietal falls in the hands of a great producer, however, it can become one of the world’s finest wines.

Mostly known for its Franciacorta’s, they also produce some excellent reds from Valtellina in the north. Sfurzat’s are made from air dried Nebbiolo grapes. Bin No. 534 Vintage Btl. Nino Negri, “5 Stelle” Sfursat DOCG 04 150 “Nebbiolo” TRENTINO-ALTO ADIGE Italy’s northernmost wine region is actually two regions that are quite different from one another. Alto Adige, named for the Adige river that runs through the valley of Alto Adige, was part of Austria until the end of World War 1, and the inhabitants to this day still follow the customs of their Germanic background, very similar to the populace of Alsace in France. They prefer to call their region Sud-Tyrol, its traditional name. Trentino, further south, has historically belonged to Italy, so names, customs, etc. are Italian. Climatically, Alto Adige is generally cooler than Trentino, although both can get very hot in the summer. 536b Foradori, Granato IGT 536c Foradori, Granato IGT 02 04 125 140 99 00 01 135 135 140 08 55 “Teroldego” 537a Guerrieri Gonzaga, San Leonardo IGT 537b Guerrieri Gonzaga, San Leonardo IGT 537c Guerrieri Gonzaga, San Leonardo IGT “Cabernet Sauvignon-Cabernet Franc-Merlot” 538 Lechthaler DOC “Pinot Nero” FRIULI VENEZIA GIULIA This region that borders Austria and Slovenia was traditionally a part of the Austrian Empire until 1919, and many of the best known producers here have Germanic names. The climate here is moderated by the marine influence of the Adriatic Sea. Friuli has developed the reputation of being Italy’s finest white wine region. Very good red wines are also made in this region especially with Merlot and Cabernet. 543 Jermann, Red Angel on the Moonlight IGT 07 70 06 75 04 145 00 155 04 210 04 205 04 115 01 115 “Pinot Noir-Merlot” 544 Jermann, Mjzzu Blau Blau IGT “Franconia-Pinot Nero” 545 Moschioni, Real DOC “Tazzelenghe-Cabernet Sauvignon-Merlot” 546 Moschioni, Celtico Rosso DOC “Cabernet Sauvignon-Merlot” 547 Moschioni, Pignolo DOC “Pignolo” 548 Moschioni, Schioppettino DOC “Schioppettino” 549 Moschioni, Refosco DOC “Refosco” 542 Villa Russiz, Collio Graf de La Tour DOC “Merlot” EMILIA ROMAGNA Romagna lies on the eastern side of Bologna.

Close to 70% of the D.O.C. wine produced in Veneto comes from the area around the city of Verona in the west, near Lake Garda. Wines like Soave, Valpolicella and Bardolino are among the world’s best-known wines.

Amarone is made from the same grapes as Valpolicella, primarily Corvina, in the same areas, but Amarone undergoes a process called “passito”, where select bunches of grapes are dried on racks to concentrate their sugars and flavors.

Wine is made throughout the region, but focused in the interior, among the rolling hills and fertile valleys around the cities of Florence and Siena. Today most of the production is focused on quality rather than quantity. Tuscany, home of the famous Chianti, is also home to the so-called “Super-Tuscan”, top quality wines. About 75% of the wines produced in Tuscany are red. This red grape varietal is the native Sangiovese and its various clones: Sangioveto, Brunello, Prugnolo Gentile, Morellino, etc. Other red grapes used for blending with Sangiovese are Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Canaiolo, Mammolo, Colorino and Ciliegiolo. White grapes Trebbiano, Vermentino and Malvasia were also used. The best producers today use little or no white grapes in their blends, and many of the best Rossos are 100% Sangiovese. CHIANTI CLASSICO – DOCG Chianti is located in the central hills of Tuscany. Classico is the most famous of the eight zones of the region. Riserva means that the wine has been aged for at least 2 years in wood. Sangiovese is grown throughout Italy, however, in order to be named a Chianti, the grape must have been grown in the region of Chianti.

It makes a rich, dry and powerful full-bodied red wine capable of aging for many years in the best vintages. Beginning with the ’97 vintage, all Brunello is aged for a minimum of four years, two years in the barrel. Prior to the ’97 vintage, the wine had to be barrel-aged for at least three and a half years, which many producers felt robbed the wines of some of the fruit character and left the wines overly tannic and rustic in style. A Brunello bearing the label “Riserva” must see at least 5 years of age before release.

Then along came Sassicaia in Bolgheri and the revolution began. Today southern Tuscan wines no longer have to live in the shadow of Chianti Classico, Montepulciano and Montalcino. While Bolgheri has become the darling of Italian wine fashion nearby Morellino di Scansano D.O.C. in Maremma is located in the extreme South of Toscana on the border with Lazio. The climate is warmer than in Northern Toscana and produces richer, more powerfull wines. Sangiovese does better here than in Bolgheri, but it is also warm enough to ripen cabernet sauvignon. 685 Fattoria Le Pupille, Elisabetta Geppetti 21 06 45 SUPER TUSCANS – IGT In Italy, because of very strict laws, wine produced with non-indigenous grape varieties cannot be labeled as D.O.C. or D.O.C.G. and therefore are called “Vino da Tavola”. With the revisions of 1992, many of them began using the new IGT category, and one, Sassicaia was awarded its own D.O.C. More will inevitably follow.

Lief Ercison, the Viking explorer, found vines in profusion when he landed on the Northeast coast and named it Vineland. When European vines were first planted on the West Coast, they lived. Those first plantings were of Mission grapes, tended by missionaries. Before California wines started to take us all by storm, there was a little matter called “Prohibition”. Between 1919 and 1933, alcohol was an illegal drug in the U.S.A. The acreage of land under vine actually increased during Prohibition. Grape growing wasn’t forbidden if you did it in the privacy of your own home. Some commercial wine-making was allowed too, for altar wine. Even so, from producing 55 million gallons of wine just before Prohibition, the U.S.A. produced only 3.5 million gallons in 1925. It was a period that did nothing to train the national palate. After Prohibition came the Depression and World War Two, so not until the 1970’s did a new, revived California wine industry start to take shape, and then it hit the headlines almost immediately. California wine was on its way, and it hasn’t looked back since. 29 MERITAGE BLENDS Bin No. Vintage Btl.
