Gianelli 2009 Aglianico (Tuolumne County)
- Online Exclusive
- $28
Gianelli’s first attempt with this Italian variety is all that one expects from an Aglianico that is meant to be deep, dark and dense, all chocolate and cherries, tight yet bright. Save it a few years for when you’re next having osso bucco.

Gianelli 2009 Montepulciano (Tuolumne County)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
- $28
Mouthpuckeringly tannic at first, this rustic, leathery Montepulciano grown in the hills above Jamestown has a lot of soul, its Italian roots easy to trace and enjoy. Chuck Hovey makes the well-structured, full-bodied wine, a liquid bowl of ripe plums and raspberries, which could stand a bit of bottle age and a gigantic plate of food.

Gianelli 2007 Vermentino (Tuolumne County)
- $18
Vermentino is a Mediterranean variety rarely found in California. Gianelli has done a good job. The wine is crisp, with zesty flavors of limes, oranges, vanilla and honeysuckle flowers.

Gianelli 2007 Petite Sirah (Tuolumne County)
- Online Exclusive
- $26
Like an orchard in a glass, this young wine erupts with blackberries, cherries, plums and even a touch of tangerine. With its smoky sandalwood, it tastes sweet. But bigtime tannins should help it age. Now–2013.

Gianelli 2008 Verdelho (Alta Mesa)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
An easy to drink white wine, from an unusual variety. It’s crisp and clean in zesty acidity, with pleasant flavors of oranges, smoky butter, vanilla and cinnamon. Tastes sweet, but in fact it’s dry.

Gianelli 2007 Nino Red (Tuolumne County)
- Online Exclusive
- $22
Young, fresh and jammy, this blend of Grenache, Petite Sirah, Dolcetto and Sangiovese has flavors of cherries, leather, anise and cedar. It’s an easy, rustic wine to drink with BBQ.
