Koniaros

Koniaros (Syrah) is a very rare Greek grape variety that was only recently revived. Grown near Serres, Macedonia, in the far north of Greece, close to the Bulgarian border. Currently Domaine Nerantzi is the only producer of a varietal Koniaros. Koniaros is an ancient variety that had been left behind due to low yields. Nerantzi Mitropoulos came across vines in 1998. He had them DNA tested, registered Koniaros with the authorities, preserved and cultivates it. With large, thick skinned berries. Koniaros is a late ripening variety; harvest typically takes place in the last week of September. On the nose Blackberries, cocoa, coffee, spicy. Medium plus bodied, firm tannins with matching acidity, extracted fruit; smooth and elegant. Next to Assyrtiko the best wine from Greece that we have had the opportunity to taste. The 2008 Domaine Nerantzi “Koniaros” has an elegant dark red color, the nose, it is characterized by complex aromas of red fruits with hints of mulberries, plums, flowers, balsamic notes and traces of cocoa. A balanced wine with firm tannins and a long finish.


Prepare to be delighted with the lighter side of red! Everything about Heitz 2012 Grignolino is fresh, vibrant and young. Like a cross between Beaujolais and Lambrusco without the effervescence. Beginning with its luminous scarlet hue and the intensity of its floral bouquet. Packed with bright fruit flavors and a zing of lemon peel, it is easy to see why this wine is often called “the little strawberry” in its native Piedmont, Italy. A charming hint of spice adds excitement on the finish.Heitz Grignolino is an easy-sipping wine, and it is the perfect one to reach for with Chef Oliva’s Calamari.

Rhône

Prestige in the north, value in the south: that’s the quick version of the Rhône story. Southern village appellations produce a dizzying stylistic range of delicious wines, while the prices for northern “trophy” bottles can be dizzyingly high. If you like smoky, leathery, earthy, macho red wines, however, the wines of the northern Rhône are well worth it. Prestigious northern Rhône appellations include Condrieu, Côte-Rôtie, Hermitage, and St.-Joseph. In the southern Rhône, look to the village appellations of Côtes du Rhône, Gigondas, Rasteau, and Vacqueyras.

Vacqueyras

Being a little brother of Châteauneuf-du-Pape and, arguably, Gigondas, the wine is moderately prestigious and can yield pleasing results when treated correctly. Vacqueyras is, like Gigondas, known for its power rather than its elegance. The backbone of the wine is Grenache, however producers of Vacqueyras use more Syrah than is used in Gigondas which can make the style seem cooler.

Durif (Petite Sirah)

Durif is a variety of red wine grape primarily grown in California, Australia, France, and Israel. It is the main grape known in the U.S. and Israel as Petite Sirah, with over 90% of the California plantings labeled "Petite Sirah" it produces tannic wines with a spicy, plummy flavor. The grape originated as a cross of Syrah pollen germinating a Peloursin plant. On some occasions, Peloursin and Syrah vines may be called Petite Sirah, usually because the varieties are extremely difficult to distinguish in old age. The grape is named after François Durif, a botanist at the University of Montpellier.


Zinfandel fan’s dream. Typical flamboyant, briary fruit and spices.

Zinfandel- (Tribidrag)

The origins of California’s favorite grape, Zinfandel remained a mystery for over a century until famed winemaker Mike Grgich from Napa Valley recognized a resemblance from a grape he used to drink in his home country of Croatia before emigrating to pursue his American Dream. The UC Davis institute had already linked it to Primitivo from Puglia, Italy however, the roots of this vine were still unsure. Professor Carole Meredith then initiated a research project, dubbed the ‘Zinquest’ based on Grgich’s hypothesis to see if Zinfandel and Primitivo were indeed an equivalent to Plavac Mali, Dalmatia’s premier red variety. Meredith’s team ventured into Dalmatia’s vineyards leading them to the discovery of nine old vines in the town of Kaštela near Split of an almost extinct Croatian variety named Crljenak Kaštelanski (or Tribidrag), a cousin of Plavac Mali. In December 2001, it was announced that Zinfandel and Primitivo were one of the same with original roots from Dalmatia from the Crljenak Kaštelanski variety. Tribidrag is the oldest name for this variety and it has been identified that the grape originates from Omiš, just 25km south of Split. Although the cousin, Plavac Mali is the most widely grown in the region, Crljenak Kaštelanski is now coming back into the vineyards after the Zinquest brought attention to this popular grape. Crljenak Kaštelanski wines are characterized as generally full-bodied wines with cooked berry and spice aromas with high acidity and alcohol levels; a warm hug from the coast. The DNA profiles are a perfect match. Tribidrag is documented to have been grown in Croatia for at least 500 years.

roduced from 100% Nebbiolo (Chiavennasca) grapes picked by hand in the zones of Valtellina and Valtellina Superiore. The grapes, left to dry for 3 months, are vinified on their skins with long maceration. After a short stay in steel, the new wine ages partly in 32- and 57 hectolitre French casks for about 22 months.

The 2007 Sfursat 5 Stelle made from Chiavennasca (100% Nebbiolo), is a gorgeous wine laced with dark red fruit, licorice, new leather and French oak. All of the elements meld together with notable grace in this rich, expansive 5 Stelle. The fragrant, silky fruit flows through to an enveloping, generous finish.


Armando Parusso

This well respected producer offers a unique perspective into the grand Nebbiolo grape. Located right at the border between the Castiglion Falletto and Monforte d’Alba appellation of Barolo, the brother and sister team, Marco and Tiziana Parusso, are growing 100% of their own grapes in 18 different parcels between the two subappellations. A young team of very talented vineyard workers carefully educated by Marco harvest superb lots of grapes every year. A winemaking process was defined in this winery that is already leading example for many young vintners around the world. With an approach of great enthusiasm and analytical precison, conceiving their barolos with greater elegance and more transparent vineyard characteristics every year. A newly finished winery in the year 2000 allowed Marco to finally age his wines under the conditions he considers optimal, elevating his wines to new levels of complexity. Making it one of the best Barolo’s we have tasted at Delmonico’s

Caparzo

Elisabetta Gnudi Angelini has dreamt of living in a vineyard ever since she was little, but life hastaken her in other ways. She has worked in entertainment and in the pharmaceutical industry and known the urban stress in Rome. Until 1998, when she purchased the historic Caparzo vineyard in the Tuscan region of Brunello di Montalcino. Though vines had long stood on the Caparzo land alongside olive trees and forestry, the vineyard itself was established in the 1960′s and spent much of that time passed around owners.  In her opinion, Caparzo had strayed fromits primary purpose over time and Elisabetta planned to refocus on what she thought the estate does best: Brunello and Rosso di Montalcino. With the help of winemaker Massimo Bracalente, she has renewed technology and invested in quality, hoping to keep the traditional style of Tuscan wine while adding a modern mentality to the winemaking process. The results speak to her advantage. Under Elisabetta, Caparzo has continued to rise in the world of Brunello.

Mount Etna Wines

Volcanic eruptions, wildly unpredictable

insane place to produce wine. But its

winemakers have an intensity to match its

extremes. A wine that tells about Sicily, its

history and its myths. The nectar of Gods

produced by the wine company Patria, which

originated from a territory created by the lava

of the Mojo volcano, which is now extinct and

Mount Etna, the highest active volcano

in Europe.

Tempranillo

This grape is the backbone of wines made in the well-known Spanish regions Rioja and Ribera del Duero, but is also grown as far afield as Mexico and Australia. As a flavor profile, red fruits like strawberries and cherries can predominate - but with a rustic edge. Many wines made from Tempranillo will spend a few years in barrel and bottle before reaching the consumer. Many Tempranillo-based wines see a few years of oak - add that to a few years of bottle and the wine can give a subtle - and occasionaly not-so-subtle - leathery mouthfeel. The combination of the tart fruit and tannins make this wine very food friendly.


The grapes for this blend come from the estate’s two vineyards, Montebello and San Giovanni, which are only 4 kms apart. The grapes are manually harvested and then undergo a strict selection process. Valdisanti is a full bodied blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese and Cabernet Franc.

Alicante

The picturesque city of Alicante in the Valencia region of Spain has a vibrant tourism industry - which makes it all the more surprising that its wines are so little known outside of Spain. The region, lying on the southeastern border, produces a great variety of wines - from light and fruity whites to oak-aged Cabernet. It can also claim some of the best Moscatels in the country, as well as a unique rancio wine made from sun-dried Monastrell grapes called Fondillon.

Heady aromas of cherry, redcurrant, vanilla and rose oil, with a smoky nuance and a hint of cured tobacco. Sappy, penetrating, appealingly sweet red fruit flavors put on weight with air while maintaining vivacity. This impressively balanced and focused gran reserva finishes with silky tannins and excellent cut and persistence. These wines are only produced in great vintages.

Bodegas del Fin del Mundo

One of the southernmost wineries on the planet. Literally “The End of the World” Bodega del Fin del Mundo is located in the Argentine Patagonia, in San Patricio del Chañar, Neuquén, a place that was long dominated by the harsh Patagonian desert and today has been turned into an oasis of life, where the vineyards offer grapes of great quality, ideal for making top of the line wines. The inception of the project should be traced back in 1996, when moved by the ideal climate for growing vines and a team of committed highly qualified professionals, who faced the challenge to convert 3,000 hectares of Patagonian steppe into an oasis. The first vines were planted in 1999. Since then, 2,000 hectares of vineyards have been planted and 870 hectares of this area form part of the project known today as Bodega Del Fin del Mundo. It is worth noting that all the wineries located in San Patricio del Chañar were born in the remaining hectares after this project. This new viticultural region is located in the north of Patagonia, 60 km away from the city of Neuquén. Suitability of the soil and the climate together with the availability of water make a difference as about the quality of grapes and the wines obtained out of these grapes. The large temperature range (more than 20º Celsius), scarce precipitation (180 mm a year) and low humidity are determining factors for obtaining quality grapes. This type of climate also makes the grapes ripen slowly and harmoniously, thus enabling an optimal relationship between sugar and acidity, excellent colors and a good number of aromatic substances. These conditions are given by cold winters, dry and hot summers during the day and cool summers at night, as well as light, cool and dry falls. All these factors are ideal to make grapes express their best quality at the moment they are harvested. Bodega Del Fin del Mundo was opened in April 12, 2003 setting a landmark in the history of Argentine viticulture and has changed the Argentine production map forever.

4511 Iberica Bruno Prats, “Mosyca” Valencia, Alicante 2007 45

A beautifully rich and juicy wine from Alicante, Spain. This wine is one of Bruno Prats's projects, who once owned the iconic Bordeaux Château Cos d'Estournel.
