I’ve featured Tre Bicchieri winners before such as Feudi Di San Gregorio’s Greco di Tufo and Fattoria Zerbina’s Ceregio, but never before one that also had a perfect five star rating. Today’s Italian white takes the cake. It even has me offering up a Gavi for the first time in a while.
La Toledana was built in the first half of the 16th century by the noble Genoese Imperiale family before being acquired by the Lercari family and later to the Cambiaso family. It’s been a staple in Piedmont for hundreds of years with a consistency in quality that very few can touch. Their 2019 Cortese di Gavi is absolutely electric.
For those of you who are worried that it’s 2019, fret not, this one was made for aging – it is a true Piedmont white wine. The Gambero Rosso gushed about its aging potential as well as the historic and unique plot from which it comes. They also raved about the impeccable freshness, which even with a few years of bottle age is abundantly present. This is a star.
The best part is I did my homework on this one so our price is absolutely the best in the country and by a long shot as well. Maybe the others don’t realize the gold they have?
$30 on release by the winery, for this old-vine masterpiece. $27.94/btl the cheapest you can find anywhere online. But today, for a short while, a run don’t walk deal here at Nicholas Wines!

Tre Bicchieri + 5 Stars – Gambero Rosso
An expression of courtesy that reaches its maximum splendor revealing, first of all, a great potential for aging. In a historic and unique plot here is an intense floral bouquet wrapped in a mineral veil between almond and peach grains. Splendid on the palate with a growing volume timed out by an impeccable freshness.

The Zenato family has built up quite the reputation for delivering exceptional value with their red and whites in Veneto. Their Pinot Grigio is a particularly great value, punching way above its weight class. Delicately scented and soft on the palate, it offers classic citrus and floral notes in a balanced elegant style. It’s smooth and refreshing with a long, pleasant finish. Great with food.
The newly released Riesling Feinherb 2021 is a lively, juicy wine with an elegant bouquet of minerals, wet stone and ripe fruit. On the palate, the wine’s slight off-dry component is beautifully balanced by the steely acidity typical of the Mosel. Because this is freshly released, the fruit is vibrant and succulent and it comes in somewhere between off-dry and semi-sweet. It’s a great example of Riesling, especially at the price.
The 2016 vintage in Napa was nearly perfect for winemaker Kian Tavakoli (Opus One, Clos du Val). With ideal weather all throughout harvest, he crafted the Faustini Money Road Chardonnay off the famous vineyard located in the coveted Oakville AVA. The picturesque vineyard off Oakville Crossroad is platinum rated, known for its ideal combination of soil & climate and the big A list names that routinely source fruit. Kian’s Money Road Chard is still youthful despite having a few years of age, probably as a result of its 18 months of slumber in 1/4 new Oak.
This is a super elegant Meursault from the family-run estate located in the village of Monthelie, between Volnay and Meursault in the heart of Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune. It leads with nutty aromas of brioche, fresh butter and delicate citrus and is extremely well structured, long and stylish with great purity of fruit.
