The Tonelli family has grown grapes in the region since 1912, when Stefano’s great grandfather, Antonio Tonelli planted vines between his rows of wheat for local consumption. Later, Antonio’s grandson Francesco would go on to establish the Colli Pesaresi D.O.C., with Villa Ligi leading each step of the way.
Located just just inside the Le Marche region in the Northeastern tip, it’s perfectly tucked away between San Marino and Ancona, benefitting from its proximity to the Adriatic Sea. The winery has been a pioneer in the region for over 100 years, with Antonio Tonelli first planting grapes in the region in 1912. Later his grandson Francesco would actually establish the Colli Pesaresi D.O.C.
The red wines in Colli Pesaresi are typically made from Sangiovese and sometimes from Aleatico. But that didn’t sit well with their Romagna neighbors to the north, who argued in court they should have the exclusive right to use the name Sangiovese. Ultimately they lost, as it was ruled in 1972 that Colli Persari could continue using the name Sangiovese after it was proven they had been growing it for centuries.
In terms of who is leading the region in its push for relevancy, no one is currently doing a better job than Villi Ligi. Italian expert Antonio Galloni stumbled onto them a few years ago, and gushed that the wines are “very pretty and intriguing” and “also happen to be a steal.”

It’s always nice to be in good standing with one of the most beloved wine brands in America! These won’t last long! This is an opulent, powerful dark-fruited Cabernet with tightly woven tannins, that is just raring and ready to go. Textbook, full-bodied, revved up and ready to go, this new Caymus Napa Valley Cabernet is the definition of a crowd pleaser.
Anne Sery describes her Trousse Chemise Cabernets as an ode to the Left Bank and her winemaking roots. It’s a beautiful and fresh Cabernet with aromas that leap from the glass with of black raspberry, violets, and creme de liquor notes. The mouth gives generous amounts of juicy black fruits at the core with hints of baking spice and a smooth, savory finish. This is a terrific partner for just about anything from hard cheese, to poultry, summer salads, you name it!

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.
95 Points, James Suckling – 94 Points, Wine Spectator – 93 Points, Wine Enthusiast
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.
