That price is not a misprint. As the new vintage comes in, I locked into an amazing price on the perfect spring wine. But unfortunately, with big press and such a small price tag, this one is destined to sell out in a day or two. An Editors’ Choice from Wine Enthusiast, along with rave reviews from Vinous and Wine Spectator and all for a wine that can be had today for less than $9/bottle. Hurry up on this one!
Umani Ronchi is starting to make a name for themselves amongst the Nicholas Wines faithful. There’s good reason for that. They make flat out delicious, every-day drinking wine, which stylistically pairs well with most kinds of cooking. These wines are ridiculously well-priced and consistently wow critics.
Eric Guido of Vinous went on a huge long rant about how much he loved Umani Ronchi, saying that although they manage more than 210 hectares of vines between Marche and Abruzzo, they still “manage to deliver one of the most balanced and quality-driven portfolios within the two regions.”
Today’s beauty is a Castello di Jesi Verdicchio from one of the most famous and historic Marche appellations. The Verdicchios here are absolutely zipped up, electric white wines that are so good, that legend even has it that the troops of the King of the Visigoths drank barrels of Verdicchio to maintain their strength before marching to sack Rome!
This one dazzles. Vinous called out the delicious tropical notes, “hints of papaya and young mango” and even called this knockout every day drinker, “weightier than anticipated”. Wine Enthusiast in their Editors’ Choice review called it “tangy and fresh”, while Wine Spectator took notice of the notes of “Asian pear and minerality”.

Every year, Pierre Sparr’s Alsacian Riesling is one of the top scoring wines in the under $20 category. There’s a consistency there and consumers know they can count on a Riesling that is aromatic, fruity, elegant, clean and vibrant. Pierre Sparr wines are extremely food-friendly especially in the widely praised 2021 vintage where quality rose to an all-time high. It’s a bone-dry beauty with layers of citrus fruits, framed by wet stone and mineral character that adds dimension.
2022 was an absolutely perfect vintage in this respect and unfortunately, I think it will be one of the last, if not THE last. As winegrower Jean-Marc Brocard reported to Decanter: “When we taste the wines, we feel that the balance between acidity and ripeness is very good. It’s a classic style of Chablis. In the end, even after such a heat during summertime, we stay in a cool year reference.” He also alluded to the ageability of the vintage, saying “Let’s give them time, we must let nature do its work.”
It’s hard to beat a great value white wine and this one is a at least a cut above the rest. One prominant industry insider called the 2022 edition, “the best white wine by any within $20/cs of this price.” It’s super crisp with a great mineral streak, and was carefully picked by hand when the temperature is coolest and is kept cool all the way into the press. From there, the effect of the mineral soil takes over, providing great finesse and freshness in every bottle. This white blend has great backbone and a lot of juicy fruit coming through behind aromas of flowers and stone fruits. At this price, it’s a no brainer.
One of the best places to look for great Tuesday nighters are the sandy, limestone-laden hills of Asti. And within Asti, there is no white wine calling card that holds a candle to Moscato. Here it is king. Gianni Doglia naturally farms a tiny estate in the picturesque hamlet of Castagnole Lanze. His Moscato is the product of old vines, vinfied without oak to preserve its incredible fruit. This is serious, high-quality and hand-harvested Moscat, that oozes with sweet tropical fruits and a hint of minerality that stays on your tongue with each sip. This is also the perfect wine for anyone searching for a low alcohol option as well.
