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 oft 100-point winemaker, Jayson Woodbridge had this to say when tasting his 2021 ‘Stargazing’ Sonoma Pinot: “The wine is vibrant and complex with subtle dark fruits and berries, grandmother’s cherry pie, minerals, and a slight touch of rain-soaked earth, intertwined with a balance and very pleasing easy-going luxury. Should have been priced higher but what the hell.” I have no doubt this clerical error will be addressed in the vintages moving forward. But for now, this is a cult Pinot for under $100/bottle.
The 2021 Napa Valley East side Cuvee is an instant classic. From the first whiff to the moment it hits the lips, its clear that this is a fabulously concentrated, serious wine: black in color, and featuring aromas of cassis, cedar and chocolate-tinged purple fruit. The mouthfeel is plush and voluptuous with a firm, solid finish that speaks to its potential for considerable aging.

“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.”
It’s no surprise the Wine Advocate has called the Ventoux a “screaming bargain.” Carved off the left bank of the Rhone River, the 2020 Delas Ventoux is a gorgeous medium-bodied wine with wonderful crushed red fruits, a silky mouthfeel, tremendous structure and that signature Rhone spice on the finish. I haven’t had this wine available for a few vintages, but I figure it’s the perfect springtime Red to bring back in the fold!
