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 newly released 2022 Domaine Laroche Chablis Saint Martin has some big shoes to fill as the last four vintages have earned 92-points or higher, but the early indications are that this is line with previous vintages if not even a little bit ahead at this stage. The problem is – there’s almost none to go around with much smaller yields. Still this is beautiful and crisp, with good focus, energy and depth. I get the signature green fruits on the nose, with some Asian pear, and a hint of jasmine blossom. There’s a beautiful mineral streak that highlights this one. It’s a fantastic White Burg for the price.
Just in time, we got back Vincent Ricard’s all-time great white wine bargain. This is a crisp, clean and flat out delicious Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc. The protege to the Silex-style of Dagueneau – who over the last 15 years has produced flawless and beloved white wines that at last count were on the wine lists of over 36 Michelin-starred restaurants. This is a great house white and one that can surely hold its own with just about everything on the table.
92 Points (Best Buy), Wine Enthusiast – 90 Points, James Suckling
The winery could never expected their Tuscan Vermentino would become as integral as it has – even 25 years later, it’s still a key piece of the puzzle for Campo Maccione. It’s an unassuming wine with great viscosity and bright, savory flavors that way overdelivers for the price. James Suckling agreed, as did Wine Enthusiast. Suckling gave it a 90 and deemed it “an interesting take on Tuscan Vermentino.” Wine Enthusiast took it up a few notches, attaching a coveted ‘Best Buy’ designate to the wine along with a 92-point review for the wine “with a sophisticated restraint.”
Glistening pale yellow-green to the rim, infused with mouth-watering aromas of ripe apple, pear and quince, and crushed almonds with honey and rich creamy middle and a fantastic rush of acidity and minerality that are present throughout. A calling card of Bonhomme’s Vire-Clesse, if you closed your eyes and took a sip, it would have you convinced you were drinking Meursault at least a 3x price tag.
