Casanova di Neri Brunello di Montalcino 2019
$109.00Add to cartThis is a great entry into the 2019 vintage that can be enjoyed now, but will also be great laid down for a few years. It has the heft that some seek, but there’s plenty of nuance that comes from their deft balance between the wildness of the grapes and the slickness of the cellar hand.

Castello dei Rampola d’Alceo Toscana IGT 2019
$199.00Add to cartThis wine is a synthesis of the Rampolla family’s ideas about wine. It’s weighty, but still remains graceful. Classically styled but with a piercing minerality that lifts the deep, dark fruit. Some critics go as far as to call it transcendent giving it huge scores (97 Points, Vinous; 96 Points James Suckling; 98 Points, Wine Advocate).

Felsina Vin Santo 375ml 2013
$76.00Add to cartThis Chianti Classico wine is embodied by the “mother” (the remains of the previous vintages) being moved from the previous years casks to the next. The Trebbiano, Malvasia, and Sangiovese grapes are carefully dried out before aging. This is one of our favorite sweet wines (a category that needs so much more love) and we think everyone, but especially Italian wine lovers, should try this.

Ficomontanino Zacinta Revi 2022
$25.00Add to cartAs producers working biodynamically, the Sole’s have a lot of animals around. This wine is named after one of the family’s beloved horses. This wine is just shy of being a skin contact style, it still has color and texture but doesn’t go full-on orange.

Monteraponi Chianti Classico Riserva Il Campitello 2020
$122.00Add to cartWe love the wines of Monteraponi. There’s a lightness to them that can transcend some of the heft that comes with wines out of this part of italy. That’s not to say that they aren’t controversial. They produce wines that are typically more Burgundian or even (gasp) Piedmontese than some of their neighbors but that doesn’t make them any less delightful. They retain acidity, florals, minerality, and a restrained elegance that lifts the palate.
This is their take at classic Chianti Classico. It’s mostly Sangiovese with a touch of Canaiolo and Colorino,and it’s delicious while still being light on its feet (for Riserva Chianti).

Montevertine Le Pergole Torte 2020
$275.00Add to cartThe story of the legendary Montevertine estate in Radda-in-Chianti begins in 1967, when Sergio Manetti purchased the property and planted two hectares of vines with the modest intention of making wine to share with his family and friends. It turns out he had a knack for the craft, and word swiftly spread in the area about the quality of wine Montevertine was creating from their excellently situated high-altitude vineyards.
The wines have been classified as “Rosso di Toscana” since 1981 due to their strong belief that Trebbiano should not be included in their wines—even though, ironically, they have always been, among the purest expressions of what Chianti can be.
Their vineyards are worked without chemicals; grapes are hand-harvested; fermentations are spontaneous; no stainless steel exists at the estate—only cement and old wood; sulfur is applied conservatively, and only at racking; and neither fining nor filtration are employed.
Not only the estate’s highest achievement, but one of Italy’s great wines. Since 1990 Le Pergole Torte, which translates loosely to “the crooked pergolas,” has comprised the estate’s best parcels and is first and foremost a staggeringly complex expression of pure Sangiovese grown in Radda’s high-altitude alberese sandstone soils.
Unfailingly profound, the 2020 is among the greatest versions in recent memory. In bottle, the 2020 Le Pergole Torte is both sumptuous and poised, simultaneously mouthcoating and racy, with gorgeously refined tannins and crunchy, spice-tinged fruit that feels like the Platonic ideal of Sangiovese.

Community Wine and Spirits was awarded 1 six pack. It’s a treasure.
