With the detailed tasting notes, you'll be able to savor the histories and traditions of Italy's prestigious vineyards, the flavors of a variety of grapes, all while learning about the various vinification processes, and the esteemed sommelier video will explain each wine's origins, the complexities of each wine, and even food pairing suggestions.

Open up your Special Tuscany box and uncork a bottle of Merlot Quintore Toscana IGT Gualdo del Re, and you'll notice that the intense ruby red is immediately striking, and the nose promptly seduces with a harmonious and elegant mix of succulent blackberries and enveloping marasca cherry jam that together give sweetness and freshness. Quintore is the newest wine from the Gualdo del Re Winery, a pure merlot from the Tuscan coast that arises from a desire to create something different and special. Made from a combination of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc grapes, as well as a small percentage of Carmenere, arises the Bordeaux blend Poggio Alle Nane le Mortelle Antinori, which rightfully falls into the category of Super Tuscans that you need to try at least once in your lifetime. Sense uniting notes of mountain herbs, black currant and thyme in this deep red wine, as well as hints of licorice, violets, balsamic and floral to complete the picture, in total harmony with sweet spices.

Your Best of Italy box brings you Amarone Della Valpolicella Ca' Rugate, the result of a classic blend of three grapes - Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella - as well as soil rich in fossils and limestone between Verona and Vicenza in the region of Veneto. With a history of over 100 years, Ca' Rugate Winery has been handed down over four generations, and boasts a traditional technique of drying grapes for five months in special drying lofts, pressing and fermenting in stainless steel vats before aging in oak barrels for up to three years. The result is a fascinating bouquet of berries and black fruit, dried flowers, anise and licorice, with a spicy, earthy finish. Described as intense, full-bodied, tannic and with great structure, the four recognizable characteristics of Sagrantino, a unique grape from Umbria, the Sagrantino di Montefalco Caprai Valdimaggio is extremely rich, with red fruit jam, sweet spices and cherry, and elegant notes of violet. Valdimaggio has become a symbol of the Arnaldo Caprai Winery, which is the best expression of the terroir and history of this spectacular wine.
