Terre di Talamo is on Tuscany’s southern coast, in Maremma, across from the Argentario Gulf. The winery is owned by the savvy Marco Bacci (Renieri, Castello di Bossi), which is why I even know about this and have the chance to offer my first ever Morellino di Scansano.
Whether it’s Montalcino, Maremma, or Chianti, Marco’s wines always offer a tremendous sense of place, giving this wine a great expression of the rocky, clay soils from which it was drawn, as well as the warm, coastal environment that impacted it along the way. In a hot year in Tuscany, Marco Bacci’s 2015 Morellino di Scansano was made entirely in stainless steel, giving it a supercharge in aromatic left as well as approachability and early drinkability.
Morellino is the locals’ term for Sangiovese; I had it the other day with a Nicholas Burger from B&R and got a chance to enjoy it for about five whole minutes before there was a figurative fire to put out. It was certainly a treat though.
Lots of inviting aromas of black cherry, violet, blueberries and spice. The wine attacks you from the first sip with its vibrancy and energy. It’s ready to go, I promise you that. A full-bodied, robust mouthfeel with generous dollops of blue and black fruits, good tannic structure and great balance. Leaves a pleasant aftertaste that has you coming back for another sip time and time again.

This is a gorgeous red with so much mushroom and black cherry aromas and flavors. Full body, velvety texture and a flavorful finish. Dusty second texture. Delicious Morellino. 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.

Avignonesi’s wines took Nicholas Wines by storm last year with their ‘Grifi’ SuperTuscan, a highly rated, highly delicious bottle that put the winery firmly on my radar. It’s a great bottle of wine, but at this price – it completely overdelivers which is exactly what you’re looking for.
The secret to Philippe’s tightly wound, complex Pinot Noir is a combo of ancient vines, natural farming techniques, and low yields. The wines are built to age, with incredible tension and length. And the secret to me securing his other-wordly 2017 old-vine Gevry-Chambertin can be chalked up to a great relationship and over a decade supporting superior Burgundian winemaking. The wine is scary good. The nose is wild, filled with spiced dark raspberries, red flowers, and baking spices. The palate is elegant and racy, with a dynamic tension that runs right through its minute-long finish. This is a high-toned, wound-up Pinot, that is starting to hit its prime and is really turning out to be a ‘must-have’ for true Burgundy lovers.

Feudo Montoni has been one of the best producers in Italy for literally hundreds of years, most notably for their work with Nero D’Avola grape in Sicily. It’s a gorgeous expression at such a good price. The 2020 “Lagnusa” is the perfect pizza or Thanksgiving wine with juicy black fruits, grippy tannins and a wonderful, fresh and herbaceous finish. Vinous Media gave the wine 92 points and raved, calling it “remarkably fresh yet long, leaving the mouth watering while still resonating on hints of blackberry.” You’re going to love this.
