Serego Alighieri is one of the most prestigious and historic Venetian estates with roots that date back to one of the most famous poets of all time. The great Dante Alighieri (referred to simply as Dante) grew up in a wealthy family which allowed him to write poetry that we still read today including one of the most influential literary works of all time, The Divine Comedy.
The Alighieri winery was started by Dante’s son, Pietro in 1353 and has been in production now for 670 years. In 1549, the Alighieri family had only female heirs, and one of them married into an imperial family, the Seregos. Ever since that time, it’s been the Serego Alighieri winery, and their reputation in Valpolicella is rivaled. If you ever find yourself visiting, there’s no better place to go, the oldest winery still in operation in the region and one of the very best still to this day.
Part of the secrets to their success is their collection of vineyards. Perfectly situated on rolling green hills from 750-1250 ft above sea level on top of rich red soil with limestone and clay deposits. Wedged between Lake Garda and the Adige River, the conditions are always very mild and therefore extremely favorable. This advantage has remained for centuries, where more than 21 descendants of the poet have lived and worked.

A rich, juicy red with cherry and dried-berry aromas and flavors. Some pepper and spices. It’s medium-bodied with soft tannins and a delicious finish. Drink or hold.

The new release is here from outstanding winemaking team of Michel Rolland, Charles Thomas, Andy Erickson and David Jelenik. This one always represents one of the best quality-to-price ratios in all of Napa Cab and in the stellar 2021 vintage, this really stands out as one of the best the Valley has to offer. It’s a racy mix of Coombsville fruit from Atlas Peak that absolutely roars out of the bottle. Always one of Napa’s great bargains and a must have even as the price starts to sneak up here a little bit.

“Vignon’s 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape delivers even more than I hoped for based on a previous sample. Hints of garrigue, roses, cherries and raspberries appear on the nose, while the palate is full-bodied, silky and long, with an intense, almost briny finish. The assemblage is 50% Grenache, 10% each Mourvèdre and Syrah, plus smaller proportions of seven other permitted varieties, while the élevage includes foudres, demi-muids, concrete and wooden tanks, plus terracotta amphorae.”

“The 2021 Malbec Reserva, from Vistalba, Lujan de Cuyo, was 60% aged in barrels for 12 months. Purple in color. The nose presents notes of fresh plum and violets, white pepper, strawberry, hints of spice and aromas from the aging process. It’s initially indulgent in the mouth, with good fat, and volume and a velvety texture. The flavors are bold and full-bodied. This 2021 overdelivers at the price.” -Vinous

This is a really exciting new release in the collection of single-vineyards from the Wagner Family, and arguably the most interesting one of the bunch. This is the only Pinot Noir in the Caymus collection that has the advantage of being from a natural Pinot Noir haven in the Russian River Valley. Dairyman Vineyard’s proximity to the pacific ocean, with its morning fog and afternoon coastal breezes allows for an even and elongated growing season, with super concentrated and expressive grape clusters that help make this Dijon clone Pinot Noir one that you need.
