2002 Antinori Villa Antinori Super Tuscan IGT
$69.90
Villa Antinori is a mid-weight red blend of mostly Sangiovese, with small amounts of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah from vineyards across a number of appellations within Tuscany. A delicious bottle of wine. Beautiful ruby in the glass, no bricking. Very fruit forward, delicious notes of black cherries with a hint of citrus, and velvety smooth. Tastes like it could cost twice as much and you would still be impressed.
Smoky, pruny, gamey, sweaty saddle leather, black cherry, tobacco nose. Rich, dry, slightly chunky and tight palate. Peppery, smoky, prune, chocolate, resin, mineral, vanilla flavours with a distinctly meaty, cassis note on the finish. A bit chunky but very good effort for the vintage.

$51.50
$66.00
3 btls pack. Intense ruby red, with slightly spicy and vinous aromas of wild berries and cherries. Velvety, soft and full-bodied on the palate, with an almondy aftertaste.
This is one of Camparo's most representative wines, as it is the most characteristic of the only village where it is produced - Diano d'Alba. Our Sori is Bric Camparo. Sori means a vineyard with the best exposure to the sun in the local Piedmontese region. This is one of the Langa's historic wines, so it goes wonderfully with our local dishes as well as others, such as tagliatelle with meat sauce, filled pastas, cold cuts, boiled meats, poultry and semi-hard cheeses.
Diano d'Alba can be called the local farmer's wine. It used to be the most popular wine to drink with meals in the Langhe region. We like to enjoy this very simple, yet equally magnificent wine at both lunch and dinner.

Grape: 100% Vernatsch/Schiava Schiava is a Alto Adige variety that was long underrated to the point of being almost forgotten, just like the old limekiln after which the vineyard is named.

The wine’s versatility and grace will tempt you to drop the pearl of your soul into a glass of this nectar.
VINIFICATION : the small Vernatsch grapes come from the oldest vines in the vineyard, and were selected by hand for this wine. The fermentation began spontaneously in the wooden fermentation vat, with a ten-day maceration period. Following an eight month maturation period in barrique and big wood barrels, the wine was bottled in late-April.
TASTING NOTES: this wine is a pure pleasure. Luminous ruby red, fruity aromas of forest berries and cherries, velvet tannins with a unique structure and minerality make this wine unique. An ideal wine to accompany light Mediterranean cuisine.
