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

If you’ve never heard of Bisci, let’s start here. Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate called Giuseppe Bisci’s Verdicchio “one of the finest I’ve ever tasted,” and noted that “Verdicchio is one of the joys of Italian oenology that rarely gets the respect it deserves, and few producers do it better than Bisci.” A staple at $85/bottle for both French Laundry and Eleven Madison Park. “Verdicchio is one of the joys of Italian oenology that rarely gets the respect it deserves, and few producers do it better than Bisci.” – The Wine Advocate
The wine is so dang good, nearly every single one of my staff tried to take the sample bottle home when it was brought into the restaurant. It’s just so juicy, lively and pure. Even without the score, this is a total layup. This is a gorgeous French Rosé at an absurd price. One of the absolute best quality-to-price ratio offers of the year, every single year… no questions asked.

“The 2021 Barbera d’Alba Bricco dei Merli shows a beautifully fruity, almost juicy personality that paints an authentic portrait of this grape. The Congo winemaking team has worked out its approach to elegant wines. This Barbera does not show any of the excesses, like sourness or too much acidity, that can sometimes characterize Barbera when made in less capable hands.” -Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
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.
