Voted Top 5 wine to have with a pizza by Wall Street Journal in 2017. ...Wow....that got our attention.

Aroma of wild flowers, red fruits and a touch of nutmeg. In the mouth it enters dry, fresh, just the right amount of softness as opposed to tannins.

Wine Advocate 94 points. "Montefalco Rosso is a blend of grapes including Sagrantino and Sangiovese and it always offers a slightly more accessible and versatile personality that makes it easier to pair with your favorite meat-based dishes. However, the 2019 Montefalco Rosso Riserva (packaged with a black label) shows us how much depth and complexity can also be achieved with this combination of local varieties. The wine is intense and especially concentrated thanks to ripe fruit and careful oak aging. You feel the force of Sagrantino's tannic imprint, but that power is well managed and contained. With dark and chewy fruit, this is...

Superb tannin texture. So fine, yet so powerful. This is an incredible combination of fruit and structure. Old-vine magic. Drink after 2026. JS.

98 Points, James Suckling, jamessuckling.com: "The subtlety and perfumed nature of this wine is enchanting, offering flowers, orange peel and cherries. Wonderful ripe strawberries, too. Full-bodied, but not over the top, with tannins that are polished and run the length of the wine. It’s tight, but gives you every indication of terrific wine. You want to drink it now, and you probably should do because it’s so alluring. Yet it will age beautifully as well.

James Suckling 97 points. 20th year anniversary special bottling. James Suckling Notes 97 Points, "Very attractive combination of dried fruit and spices with black cherries and plums. Aromas of flowers and sandalwood, too. Full-bodied and very refined, yet intense, with plush, velvety tannins that are wonderfully integrated and intertwined with the fruit. Ripe center palate. Tight at the end, suggesting the need for some serious bottle age. Very structured. Try after 2025." 8/21.

97 Points, Georgina Hindle, Decanter: "Wild roses and wild strawberries, the nose has a lovely fragrance and expression. Lifted and bright, this has such a beautiful delicacy to it, a creamy, chalkiness comes from the fine tannins with bright, succulent strawberry and raspberry leaf elements. You feel the savory side too, the sweet vanilla spice and dried herb aspect which counter the fruit and the high acidity. I adore the finesse here, the sharp fruit giving the energy and the chalky texture giving the layers. Feels well-controlled, and powerful yet delivered with poise. It doesn't have so much overt weight, it's definitely...

"Fabulous aromas of strawberries, orange zest and orange blossom. So pure on the nose. Very perfumed. Medium-bodied with intense linear tannins that are ultra-fine in texture. It's fresh and salty with a brightness and focus. Minerally and crisp. pH is 3.4 highlighting the strength of the acidity. Crunchy. Salty. So delicious now but this will age incredibly well." -  98pts, James Suckling.

James Suckling 96 points Antonio Galloni - Vinous Media (95) "The 2019 Il Blu is gorgeous. Dark and mysterious in the glass, the 2019 is going to need at least a few years to reveal all of its personality.

WINERY NOTE: As bright as our rosé made from 100% Merlot shines, it also tastes fresh, fruity and elegant. The grapes for this wine with fragrant and floral aromas of white flowers and watermelon come from the vineyards in Maremma. In contrast to red wine, we harvest the Merlot grapes a little earlier, so the alcohol and structure remain light and have a bright salmon pink color. We let the must ferment spontaneously at cool temperatures in stainless steel tanks without any contact time with the mash, before the young wine is aged on the lees for three more months.

The Cantina Kaltern 2020 Alto Adige Pinot Nero delivers all the goods: freshness, elegance and a no-fuss style to pair with white meat or even a spaghetti allo scoglio with seafood and chopped tomato, if served a few degrees chilled.

It also delivers ripe blackberry, black cherry, leather, tar and sweet spice. You'd do well to enjoy it with some grilled sausages in front of the fire after a day of skiing.

Wine Advocate 94 points. The Cantina Kaltern 2018 Alto Adige Cabernet Sauvignon Riserva Quintessenz comes out with gangbuster intensity, showing shapely tones of dark fruit, mature blackberry and dark plum. After 18 months in barrique (with 50% new barrels), the wine is nicely enhanced with oak spice that comes across with subtle layers of toast and smoke; however, the wood regime is never overdone. In fact, the cool-climate freshness associated with mountain wines is what gives this hearty red that extra kick of energy to enjoy with a well-marbled steak on the grill.
