Caprili di A. Bartolomei

1980 Brunello di Montalcino – Caprili di A. Bartolomei (Tuscany, Italy)

A rare, fully mature Brunello showing the perfumed, savoury grace of long-aged Sangiovese Grosso.

Erbaluce di Caluso

Appearance
Deep amber-gold with copper highlights, showing clear signs of advanced maturity; slight natural haze possible due to age.

Nose
Complex and tertiary. Notes of beeswax, dried chamomile, acacia honey, and walnut skin, followed by hints of candied citrus peel, alpine herbs, hay, and a faint oxidative nuance reminiscent of old parchment and roasted almond. No primary fruit remains; the bouquet is entirely evolved.

Palate
Dry and surprisingly vibrant, driven by Erbaluce’s hallmark high acidity, which still provides lift and tension. Flavours echo the nose: toasted nuts, dried apple, honeycomb, chamomile tea, and a subtle saline-mineral note. …

Paulliac 1er Cru Grand Classe

The 1980 Château Mouton Rothschild is a fascinating example of how even First Growth estates navigate the challenges of difficult vintages. This particular year was marked by variable weather across Bordeaux, including a wet spring and cool summer, which led to uneven ripening and modest fruit concentration. As a result, wines from the 1980 vintage, including Mouton Rothschild, are generally considered less powerful and less age-worthy than those from more acclaimed years. Yet, despite these hurdles, Mouton’s reputation and meticulous winemaking ensure that even its weaker vintages hold interest. …

d'Abbruzo, Casal Thaulero - BIG BOTTLE of 3,78 Liters

Montepulciano is a red wine grape variety grown widely in central Italy, most notably its eastern Abruzzo, Marche and Molise regions. The variety was named after the Tuscan parish of Montepulciano, but, confusingly, is not used in the famous wines produced there (see Vino Nobile di Montepulciano). Globally appreciated for their soft flavors, strong color and gentle tannins, Montepulciano wines are typically best consumed in their youth and with food. The deep-purple juice of Montepulciano grapes is used in varying proportions to produce wines under roughly 50 of Italy's DOC and DOCG titles. Although sometimes used on its own, …
