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.”

With seemingly infinite access to some of the absolute very best vineyards in the most choice AVAs in the valley, the Wagner’s set out to make Quilt– a Cabernet blend from a patchwork of the top sites in Napa (Oakville, St Helena, Atlas Peak, Coombsville, Calistoga, and Howell Mountain.) The brand new 2021 edition is a beauty – deeply concentrated, rich and a truly show stopping Cabernet. It’s a dark, hedonistic blend that combines elegance with power and pairs the two together effortlessly.
This is Joe Wagner and Quilt’s inaugural Red blend called Threadcount. It is a total knockout at the price point for this style of wine. It’s a big voluptuous wine and very fruit forward. The nose is straight up dark chocolate dipped raspberries and it tastes of fresh-baked blueberry pie, spice, and a touch of toffee. It’s the kind of quality blend that you’ve come to expect from the family behind Caymus.
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.
Winemaker Kian Tavakoli (Opus One, Clos du Val) continues to excel even while others struggle. In 2017, he still managed to deliver a beautiful and opulent Napa Valley Cabernet that’s both dark and juicy. The wine hails from both Coombsville and Rutherford, giving it distinct characteristics and a lot of drive. Deep ruby to the rim with excellent concentration, notes of Bing cherries, raspberry pie and hints of vanilla. On the palate, big wonderfully jammy fruit with young but impressive tannins and great length. The finish leaves notes of black cherry, and baked blueberry pie. Fantastic Napa value.
