Top-to-Toe Tour of Italy Dozen

Join us for a taste tour of stunning food-friendly Italian reds – with stops along the way from the north right down to Sicily. No passport needed, just your glass. Quality in this Italian showcase is very high and with two bottles of each of the above inside, the $19.99 a bottle price tag is very modest indeed – saving you $118! Start with a superb Pinot Nero (Italian Pinot Noir) from Treviso in NE Italy, from winemaker Alessandro Gallici. Visit La Parrina, a tiny, one-estate region of Tuscany for Muraccio – a gorgeous, organic classic Super Tuscan blend of Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet, and venture further south to Abruzzo for the juicy Farinelli Montepulciano. Onto Puglia for a pair of dark, velvety and best-selling Primitivos in Pillastro and Il Papavero, both from Puglia's Salento region, and round off the tour in sunny Sicily for Dino Taschetta's rich, barrel-aged Tenuta Fenice Nero d'Avola, using fruit from a vineyard revived by Dino after his Grandfather had been forced to abandon it 50 years before when an Earthquake rocked Western Sicily. An excellent collection.
