Casamatta Sangiovese

“Casamatta,” or “crazy house,” is Bibi Graetz’s creation of a Tuscan-style house wine that is, contrary to its whimsical name, consistently refreshing and seriously delicious. Characterized by balanced acidity and bright, forward fruit, these are uncomplicated, natural wines that are meant to complement foods, require no further aging and are totally accessible and enjoyable upon release.

Tasting Notes Shows the earthy side of Sangiovese, with loam, iron, cherry and plum flavors. A juicy wine, with upfront fruit and light tannins.

La Maia Lina

La Maialina’s 2007 Chianti Classico Riserva is simply beautiful. Dark fruit, leather and spices inform the supple, creamy finish. Consulting oenologist Attilio Pagli buys wines in bulk from one of Tuscany’s most elite properties, then raises and bottles them in a separate facility. These are some of the most stunning values to come out of Tuscany, or anywhere for that matter.

This soft, versatile, and delicious Toscana can be enjoyed with a multiplicity of dishes such as pasta, pizza, grilled meat or roasted chicken.
