| IN0000212 | 0 |  | | Dolcetto 2016 | Available: | Sold Out | $30.00 | |
| The last year and a half has tried my patience. Our 2015 Dolcetto was released in November 2017; it won a Double Gold Medal at the 2018 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition. I already knew then that the 2016 was going to be equally as good. And it is, having just won a Silver Medal at the 2019 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition. I know, not Double Gold, but still really good! This release also marks the end of a chapter for our Dolcetto, as it is the last vintage that we will get from the Ken Musso vineyard in Georgetown. It was always a struggle to get him to sell me any of his fruit, after 2016 he said “no mas”. I only made 95 cases of this beautiful wine, so if you want more, better let me know soon. Release date: 2 February 2019 | |

| IN0000222 | 2 | | | Mark's Magia 2017 | Available: | Sold Out | $30.00 | |
| In only its fourth vintage, Mark’s Magia has quickly become a favorite. The 2017 vintage of this wine may have been one of the best wines I’ve ever made. Our 2017 shows many of the same qualities, with spiciness in the mid-palate and a lingering finish. The blend is 65% Primitivo and 35% Negroamaro. This is a classic blend of the Apulia region of southern Italy. Only 75 cases produced. | |

| IN0000224 | 4 | | | Estate Sangiovese 2015 | Available: | In Stock | $30.00 | |
| Vineyardist and Winemaker Mark Henry was one of the first to plant the prized new clones of Sangiovese introduced to the US by Vivai Cooperativi Rauscedo. By combining these exciting grapes with the old world tradition of planting vines very closely together, Montoliva is blessed with an annual bounty of high quality fruit. The original Italian-American settlers of Chicago Park would be proud of this earthy rich red wine. Sourced entirely from our estate vineyard. | |

| IN0000230 | 6 | | | Nebbiolo 2015 | Available: | In Stock | $30.00 | |
| This vintage of Nebbiolo follows in the footsteps of our Cal State Fair “Best of Class” 2013 Nebbiolo. It is somewhat lighter in body than the 2013 (reflecting the warmer, drier growing season), with a more pronounced rose petal/black tar nose (I know…but it works!). There is a noticeable dryness, though not as pronounced as a typical Italian Nebbiolo. 100 cases. | |

| IN0000241 | 9 | | | Primitivo 2016 | Available: | In Stock | $30.00 | |
| Our 2016 Primitivo follows in the tradition of our Primitivo exhibiting a distinct white pepper spiciness in the finish. For a long time it was believed that Primitivo and Zinfandel were the same grape; we now know that they are in fact siblings, so genetically very closely related, but not identical. Their parent is an obscure Croatian grape, Crljenak Kastelanski, grown on the island of Split in Croatia. In looking for similarities between our Primitivo and Zinfandel, don't look to Lodi for inspiration...our Primitivo is lighter on its feet, has more structure, less jam/more spice, with the earthiness typical of a Puglian Primitivo. Think more along the lines of an upper Russian River Valley Zinfandel. | |

| IN0000242 | 10 | | | Due Baci 2016 | Available: | In Stock | $30.00 | |
| This wine is a unique blend of 80% Sangiovese and 20% Aglianico. One of the joys of wine discovery is creating, or finding, something that is greater than the sum of its parts. Our Sangiovese and Aglianico compliment each other perfectly...the Aglianico adding a distinctive nose and soft finish, the Sangiovese providing an earthy mid-palate and bracing acidity. "Due Baci" is Italian for "two kisses". | |

We source the grapes from Viani Vineyard on Pilot Hill, working with owner Steve Viani to ensure we harvest as ripe as viticulturally possible while maintaining a good pH balance.

| IN0000190 | 1 |  | | Late Harvest Barbera 2016 | Available: | In Stock | $22.00 | |
| By happy accident, in 2008 we produced our first Late Harvest Barbera. It was a hit, positively reviewed by wine writer Mike Dunne, reviewed by Wine Enthusiast Magazine, everyone loved it, sold out of it rather quickly. This style of wine doesn't come every year though. The growing season has to be the absolute model of perfection, and needs to stretch into November. Residual sugar 4.9% 500ml | |
