For the first time, we have the 2021 Abbonna Dolcetto Langhe in house. This is a fantastic and fun bottle to enjoy on it’s own, but it is also a showstopper with pizza. Made for those who love their wines with inky dark fruit, this boasts a jet black color with aromas of black cherry, blackberries and baked cake spice. The Langhe Dolcetto is the product of extremely low-yielding but highly concentrated juice that comes from the younger vines of her Estate. Incredibly fun to drink and to smell — it’s also what some would argue is the best compliment to a good pizza pie with some meat on it!

“For Bibi Graetz’s 20th anniversary of his beloved Testamatta, the superstar winemaker set out to make something truly age-worthy and spectacular and unlike anything he has made to date. Armed with his brand new, state-of-the-art winemaking facility in Florence, Graetz’s 2019 Testamatta is elegant and pure with multiple layers of depth and evolution. With part of the makeup consisting of vines from the 1950’s, the wine has such sophistication and intrigue and I suspect will continue to evolve into something special over the next three to four decades.”

The Bisol “Jeio” Prosecco NV is a delicious sparkler that comes from the Veneto region of northeast Italy. A brilliant straw yellow color, the first sip is an intense and fresh nose of citrus fruits and saline sensations. If you love fruit forward sparklers… this one is for you.
Fresh off a huge feature in The Wall Street Journal in which they were crowned as the top Prosecco Rose in a lineup of 14, I suspect what was once our little secret will explode. James Suckling also finally got around to tasting it and gave it 91 points. I’d rate it even higher. The 2020 Bisol Jeio Brut Prosecco Rosé is remarkable, and simply put, mouth-wateringly delicious. Inviting aromas of flowers and wild strawberries, with a complex mouthfeel that sings with citrus fruits and creaminess from the tiny crisp bubbles.
Not to be confused with the Rosso Piceno Torquois which is a blend of Sangiovese and Montepulciano, this is Cristina Brunori’s 100% Montepulciano. It’s the kind of juicy, fresh wine that pizza absolutely demands – nobody seems to make wines better suited for fresh pies than Brunori. Cristina and her family grow Montepulciano in Marche, a spectacularly beautiful spot in Northern Italy right on the Adriatic coast. Her old vines, mineral soil, and the temperate winds of the Adriatic all help produce vibrantly flavored grapes. This one is bursting with energy, fresh juicy red fruits with just the slightest touch of that Italian rusticity.
The newly released 2021 Brunori ‘Le Gemme’ Verdichio is everything you’re looking for in a vibrant, food-friendly white wine. About a billion times better than every-day Pinot Grigio, the Brunori is an electric, vibrant white which combines delicious fruit and vibrancy with boasts a killer nose of white peach, honeycomb and almonds. The fruit is wonderfully concentrated with a salty, stony finish that goes forever. The best part of this beauty is that it’s not just a summer wine- it’s absolutely delicious year round.

The 2019 is a must have for any fans of cellar-worthy Italian red wines. It’s a structured Chianti Riserva, with a ton of character. The nose is intense with notes of leather surrounding a core of bright red fruits. The flavors are intense and the finish is long with lingering Bing Cherry notes that absolutely sing. Obviously, since we’ve got the first crack at it, not all the ratings are in and it probably wouldn’t matter anyway as these will not stick around for long.
The Rosa di Ceparano 2021 is a racy blend made up of 60% Sangiovese and 40% Syrah vinified separately but both in stainless steal. Vinifying separately gives this wine a lot of flair and personality with inviting notes of fresh flowers, cherries, white peach and wild strawberries On the palate the wine it’s a little bit savory, with a solid core of red berry flavors with hints of citrus and even a little shot of spice and nutmeg that flashes. It’s a vibrant Rose that can completely hold its own with food.
“White spring flower, stone fruit and nutty aromas shape the nose on this creamy white. Tangy and delicious, it shows Pinot Grigio’s serious side, offering cantaloupe, peach and ripe yellow pear before finishing on an almost salty mineral note.”

The Pinot Grigio Mongris is their reserve Pinot Grigio bottling. It still spends most of its time in stainless steel to preserve the freshness and aromatics, but it also spends a little time in big Hungarian barrels, adding a touch of richness and complexity to this beaming Pinot Grigio while also giving it ageability. Unsurprisingly, the critics raved, with Vinous and James Suckling both giving the wine 90+ point scores. Vinous called it, “round and enveloping with a stimulating core of zesty green citrus”. Suckling gave it a big 92-point score and highlighted its “concentrated, complex and spicy palate”.
96 Points, James Suckling – 95 Points, Vinous – 95 Points, Ian D’Agata
Vinous’ Italian wine expert called it, “very well done” and called out its “massive but refined presence” en route to a rave 95-point review. Suckling echoed that with his own 96-point review and called it, “chewy, yet refined and balanced.” It’s definitely a full-bodied blend, but still manages to be light on its feet. Of course this is also still an infant, only flashing little of its true potential at this point. In another few years, there won’t be any bottles in the cellar drinking better.
This gorgeous pizza wine is a complete first for us at Nicholas Wines. Produced with organically grown and selected Nerello Mascalese grapes, this wine is an authentic expression of one of the noblest Sicilian native varieties. It has a vivid ruby color and a very fragrant aroma featuring floral scents, notes of wild strawberry and red currant, with slightly spicy hints. Dry and well balanced on the palate, it reveals a good freshness and a pleasant red fruit finish. Absolutely perfect for a pie with meat on it.
