Italy not on your summer vacation list?  Not to worry!  This incredible assortment of Italian wine will transport you there!  

2004 Marziano Abbona Pressenda Barolo 

If you are a fan of Barolo, this wine will knock your socks off!  If you haven't tried a Barolo, this is an incredible place to start!  It has freshness and delineation in its aromatics, qualities that are also found on the palate, where the wine offers plenty of perfumed red fruit, spices, minerals and menthol with notable vibrancy.  This wine comes together beautifully with energy and vitality as it sits in the glass.  Rated 91 by Robert Parker.  

2010 Bastianich Rosso

A Merlot-dominated Bordeaux-style blend. An uncommonly fruit-forward and structured for a 'cold-weather' red wine, and yet it retains many of the spicy, earthy notes that characterize Friulian reds. The extra effort made in both the vineyard and the cellar helps elevate Vespa Rosso beyond the ranks of everyday reds. Rated 92 by Robert Parker.

2013 Pio Cesare Piodilei Chardonnay

Great Italian wines are not always red! This chardonnay has a very opulent style with intense white-truffle, yogurt and cooked apple character.  Full and intense with layers  of fruit and character. If you like sexy chardonnay, this wine is for you!!!  Rated 93 by Robert Parker.
