Barberani consistently raises the bar for their entire region creating some of the most interesting, highly sought after wine. Ian D’Agata recently gushed about the winery saying, “Given the high quality across Barberani’s entire range of wines, with no duds whatsoever, I believe it is Umbria’s best estate.”
The Barberani estate is located on the Orvieto-Todi road in the hills above Lake Corbara where the River Tiber flows. This is the oldest and most prestigious production area of Orvieto wine, which is known as “Classico”.
Their 2019 Rosato is a particular high note from the estate. For the price, it’s an amazing opportunity to see what this incredible producer is capable of.
“Here I’m finding a beautifully perfumed expression of Sangiovese Rosato, as the 2019 Barberani Amore lifts from the glass with dusty florals, young peach, and melon tones. On the palate, silky textures coast across a core of brisk acidity, ushering in notes of citrus-tinged apple with sweet inner florals developing toward the close. It finishes fresh, clean, but also quite energetic, as sour melon and orchard fruits fade, leaving a twang of saline-minerality. This is so pretty, and at only 10% abv, it makes for a perfect summer sipper.” – Eric Guido, Vinous

This is a Nicholas Faithful favorite. Even though it’s technically a non-vintage it was last disgorged in the 2020 vintage. La Cravantine, is a sparkling rosé of 100% Cabernet Franc, bone-dry, super fresh and with bubbles so tiny and fine, it puts most “real” Champagne to shame. Appealing strawberry and mineral scents are encased in a firm structure with a dry and spicy quality in the palate. This wine is incredibly versatile – perfect with just about any fish, fried food, or do like I do and enjoy it on it’s own.
At 350 feet above sea level, growing seasons are often extended with warm days and cool, breezy nights. The diurnal changes of temperature help create healthy vines and grapes that are packed full of complexity, concentration and energy. Ain’t a whole of Provence wineries that can compare. We’ve offered Val de Caire’s spectacular Provence Rouge before, but their bread and butter wine, the Coteaux d’Aix en-Provence Rose has finally been imported into the U.S. for the first time. People are gonna go nuts for this wine.
2016 happens to be one of the highest rated ever (98pts, Wine Spectator) so it was no surprise that this year’s made the cut. The 2016 Riserva which was just released, is an intense version steeped in complex layers of flavor. It’s compact and well built with a touch of leather that compliments dark cherries, fresh licorice and a hint of cocoa all framed on a mineral backbone.
The Tonelli family are royalty in this region, with four generations of grape growers leading the way and even establishing the local D.O.C. The family’s 2022 Ponente is 100% Sangiovese and is an absolutely incredible wine for the price. Comfortably less than $20/bottle for fleshed out, high-toned, zipped up Sangiovese? Count me in. It screams for pizza or summer salads, squash or a charcuterie plate. It’s about to be one of your new favorites if it’s not already from last vintage.
