Owners of the famed Grand Cru Classe properties in Margaux, Ch. Giscours and Ch. du Tertre, were intoxicated by the potential of this property located south of Pisa and purchased it in 2003. After upgrading the property with feng shui inspiried new cellars, biodynamic farming, and a crew that included a winemaker with degrees from both Dijon and Bordeaux, Caiarossa was born. Named after the red earth (think Etruscan pottery) and the mother of all gods, Gaia, the top wine is a mystical blend of Bordeaux varietals, Sangio, etc. \u003cbr\u003eAs buyers, we see deals every day, but this one was too good to pass up. In this case, we have a relative newcomer to the market that changed hands a few times among importers. Then, after the 2010 vintage hit the market, the '09 and '07 vintages (very good in their own right), were passed over by consumers. The opportunity is that these are beasty wines that required additional bottle aging, and now they are stunning to drink. Note, this is the winery's flagship Caiarossa Caiarossa wine, not their lesser wines. Also worth noting, Bolgheri's famous Supertuscan estates are located a short 25km away, and WA rated the '09 vintage 97 pts.

Brunello di Montalcino, one of the world’s top wines, grows here in the Siena area, amid Valle d’Arbia’s stark landscape and Valle d’Orcia’s wild, sunny stretches. The Peluso Centolani family, originally from Napoli, owns the company and possesses two major wine estates in Montalcino: Tenuta Friggiali and Tenuta Pietranera. Giovanni Peluso purchased the property in 1987 and his daughter Olga is now in charge of the business. Their vineyards, olive groves, arable land and woods cover approximately 200 hectares. Visitors can also stay at the agriturismo Relais housed in a restored 19\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e century villa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Region\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgricola Centolani is located in the southern part of Montalcino, close to the little town of Sant'Antimo (Siena), exactly in the heart of Montalcino’s hills. This area represents one of the best place in Tuscany to grow Sangiovese grapes and make expressive and powerful wine, like Brunello di Montalcino Pietranera 2012. Montalcino area is one of the most prestigious wine region in Italy, where Brunello di Montalcino winemaking methods involve aging the wine for a long time in large oak vats, which results in particularly complex wines. Together with its famous Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, Chianti Classico and of course Brunello di Montalcino, Tuscany has the leadership of best wine region in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeautiful aromas of plums and chocolate powder.
