The depth of fruit, spice and flat-out deliciousness of this 100% Sangiovese blew us away from the moment we popped the cork! And things got even better after it had time to breathe, revealing a symphony of deep red fruit, Tuscan earth and savory spice.
"In the mouth, it offers amazing potential and fullness. This is an amazing value-buy."
- Wine Advocate, January 2017
Awarding 93 points, Wine Advocate uses the word "amazing" in back-to-back sentences. That's pretty cool for any wine, let alone one that we're blowing out for just $18.99 per bottle!
If tasted blind, you might guess this as a top $35 Chianti Classico or even a modern-style Brunello. For fans of superb estate-crafted reds, the 2013 Tua Rita "Perlato del Bosco" should not be missed.
"The 2013 Perlato del Bosco is a pure Sangiovese from a vineyard located just beyond the property's main house. This is Tua Rita's biggest seller when it comes to the USA market and with good reason. It shows a unique identity with bright berry nuances backed by tangy spice, candied orange peel and blue flower. I'm also told that this is the most difficult wine to make. Sangiovese is a difficult grape to manage and special root stocks (33-19) were selected to delay ripening in order to produce smaller and more flavorful clusters. This in itself is a risky proposition because the chances of bad weather increase the longer you wait before harvest. The wine sees eight months in neutral barrique. The bouquet shows a floral component with rose petal and lavender. In the mouth, it offers amazing potential and fullness. This is an amazing value-buy. Drink Date 2017 - 2028."
- 93 Points, Wine Advocate (12/31/2017)
Median online retail is $28 per bottle. At 32% less, today's price is the lowest in the country by a wide margin. A stupendous price for a wine of this quality and depth!

A Remarkably Delicious 91-Point Italian White for $11.79!
 2016 Marchetti Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico
Marche, Italy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Over the past year, we've learned to look at the Verdicchio grape in a whole new light. First, we offered the gorgeously vibrant and complex 2015 Misco. Next we flipped out over the
2015 Pievalta. Today, we have another great example of this wonderful varietal. And, at $11.79 per bottle, it's totally priced right.
The beautiful 2016 Marchetti Verdicchio di Castelli di Jesi Classico is medium yellow straw in color with flecks of copper and silvery green. Orchard fruit and citrus aromas lead the way along with a touch of herb. The fun really begins at the first sip, with a complex stretch of P
ippin apple, white peach, preserved lemon, Marcona almond, fresh mint and thyme flavors along with a wonderful river rock mineral punch on the long, lingering finish.
The
flavor profile expands with air, so best bet is to do a gentle decant or to simply pop the cork an hour prior to serving.
Last month, Vinous published a report on new releases from the Marche region and this bottling from Marchetti stood out as one of the best values. They awarded it 91 points, a rating which we are in full agreement with, and write the following review...
"Bright straw. Lime and green apple on the nose. Then sneaky concentration to the pomaceous orchard fruit and almond flavors. The finish is long, bright and juicy. Lovely entry-level Verdicchio wine. Drinking window: 2018 - 2021."
- 91 Points, Vinous - Ian D'Agata (February 2018)
Vinous lists a price of $16. Median online retail is $15. This is a good buy at either amount and a real knock-out value at our price. If you loved the Misco and the Pievalta, you'll want to jump all over this one. If you've not recently tried a Verdicchio, you really ought to grab a few bottles to see what all the fuss is about!
Vin Chicago Price: 11.79
