Chiorri 2006 Selezione Antonio Chiorri Merlot (Umbria)
- Online Exclusive
- $30
We really like this Merlot from Umbria and are won over by its dark concentration and bright aromas of red fruit, spice, cherry fruit and leather. The fruit tastes soft and supple and the mouthfeel is shaped by oak tones of toast and light smoke.

Chiorri 2006 Grechetto (Umbria)

This is a fine example of Grechetto’s potential as a structured, food-friendly, white wine. It offers vibrant intensity and deep aromas of mature fruit, peach, pear and pecan butter with a creamy, soft texture and playful citrus on the finish. Try it with an avocado and crabmeat salad.

Chiorri 2005 Sangiovese (Umbria)
- $15
This is a modern, powerful interpretation of Sangiovese from Umbria that delivers earthy, leather tones as well as sweet spice and black fruit such as prunes and plums. It’s a distinctive, and slightly disjointed wine with a few sharp points and plenty of chocolate spice and cinnamon biscuits in the background. The mouthfeel is big and thick with blueberry flavors…

Chiorri 2007 Sangiovese (Umbria)
- Online Exclusive
- $16
Chiorri’s Sangiovese is sharp and focused, with vibrant fruit flavors and spice. The only distraction is the high alcohol. In order to diminish its effects, pair this wine with creamy pasta dishes or béchamel.

Chiorri 2008 Rosato Rosé (Colli Perugini)
- Online Exclusive
- $16
A neon pink color segues to an equally loud palate of cotton candy, cherry soda and bubblegum. The intensity is there and you might pair this wine with hearty fish soup to lose that synthetic edge.
