  1. Passopisciaro Contrada Chiappemacine

    2012 / 750 ml. | Item#40754

    RP9292 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 29th Sep 2015
    The “C” in the 2012 Contrada C stands for Chiappemacine. This is a 1.2 hectare vineyard planted to 80-year-old vines at 550 meters above sea level. The soils here consist of a thin layer of volcanic lava that allows the roots to penetrate the sandy limestone below. This results in a softer wine with a round and plush mouthfeel. Bright berry nuances are followed by pressed rose petal and crushed stone. I would suggest a slightly shorter drinking window for Contrada C. It ages in botte grande for 18 months.

  2. Benanti Il Monovitigno Nerello Mascalese

    2009 / 750 ml. | Item#45607

    RP9292 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 29th Apr 2014
    The 2009 Nerello Mascalese Il Monovitigno is laced with flint and shaved lead pencil with tight aromas of dried fruit and black currant. The wine is exceptionally focused and tight with a sharp, forthcoming delivery. This is one of the best expressions of the grape available today. Fruit is sourced from three vineyard sites at various points of the Etna volcanic cone that range from 450 to 800 meters above sea level. Uncork this wine two or three hours before serving. Drink 2015–2022.
