Drei Dona Tenuta La Palazza 2001 Pruno Riserva Sangiovese (Sangiovese di Romagna Superiore)
- $30
The high quality of this wine is obvious as soon as you raise your glass to your nose: Cherry and forest berry are nicely balanced by toasted wood notes and the mouth is characterized by intense spice, chewy tannins and coffee liquor or spice cake flavors on the finish.

Drei Dona 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.

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.

Drei Dona Tenuta La Palazza 2006 Vigneti delle Rosenere Blanc d'R White (Emilia-Romagna)
- Online Exclusive
- $13
This is a no-fussy, watery wine from the Forlì area of Italy (located on the Adriatic flank of the peninsula) that does a good job of washing down informal foods and keeping your palate refreshed. Its measured aromas include dried hay, soft yellow fruit with some nutty tones in the background for additional dimension. The mouthfeel is quick and lean.
