Drei Donà Tenuta La Palazza 2000 Graf Noir Red (Forlì)
- Online Exclusive
- $75
This is an amazingly harmonious and intense blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Franc and Negretto Longanesi made by enologist Franco Bernabei with deeply penetrating aromas of black fruit, spice, black pepper, leather and pipe tobacco. It is smooth, very rich and slightly sweet but has the heft and density to pair with important meat dishes.

Drei Donà Tenuta La Palazza 2005 Il Tornese Chardonnay (Emilia-Romagna)
- Online Exclusive
- $27
This sophisticated Chardonnay offers pretty fullness, opulence and gorgeous luminosity in the glass. Its fruit-forward aromas include ripe peach, almond, butter and pineapple but the wine also has an interesting edge that recalls mint or peppermint. The mouthfeel is less intense than the nose but the wine ends on a fruity, fresh mark nonetheless.

A score of interesting notes strive to push though to the nose such as leather, coffee, tar, almond paste, licorice and berry fruit but come off slightly muddled instead. There’s an interesting chalky or dusty feel in the mouth with solid tannins and medium length. The wine is aged 20 months in French oak.
