Why do we love this case?
Some would argue the best Italian lineup was the 2006 World Cup team, but we reckon this pack is giving them a run for their money. We’re talking the best of the best, a pack of all-star players like Chianti Classico and the highly sought-after Brunello, not to mention Barolo and Barbaresco. We’ve gone maybe too far with this one, it almost feels naughty to be selling it to you. But we certainly have confidence in this team, they’re here to play and they only ever win.
Each case contains one of each of the following:

1x Ettore Germano Barolo DOCG del Comune di Serralunga d'Alba 2017
Red — Nebbiolo
Barolo DOCG — Italy
Barolo is always in the discussion of the top premium wine regions in the world. If you are bothering to read this, then you probably already know that it is a small area in Piemonte in Northern Italy that produces only red wines made from nebbiolo. Barolo itself is divided into 11 communes (sub-regions). Serralunga d’Alba, one of the most famous of the communes, is home to Ettore Germano. Now run by Sergio Germano, the winery is one of the top producers in Serralunga d’Alba and has been making wine since 1856.
The 2017 vintage was not without its challenges for Barolo. But the top producers were able to craft incredible wines and this comes across so clearly in Ettore Germano’s Barolo del Comune di Serralunga d’Alba. In the glass, the colour is a bright ruby garnet. The nose opens up quickly with strawberry, cherry, pomegranate and rose petals. After the few years it already has had in bottle, hints of leather and tobacco have integrated with the dark fruits evident on the palate. The tannins are fine, readily present and elegant. Ettore Germano is one of the most exciting Italian producers we’ve imported to date. If you are into Barolo, this is certainly a must have.
You’d pay $100 full price.

1x Marco Lazzeretti Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2017
Red — Sangiovese
Tuscany — Italy
This is our fourth vintage of this stunner and it’s been a hit with our mofos. It’s not a wine for the faint of heart, but rather one that’s concentrated, dense and explosive in flavour. Perhaps you’d open a bottle or two this year just to get a feel for the wine, but then lay the rest down to age. It’ll unwind beautifully as the years go on with absolutely no rush to pop a cork. Look out for blackberries, leather, forest floor, cherry, anise and pepper on the nose and palate. The tannins will be tightly wound and quite apparent now, but those will integrate nicely as time goes on. One for the ages for sure.
You’d pay $80 full price.

1x Lornano Chianti Classico Gran Selezione DOCG 2016
Red — Sangiovese
Tuscany — Italy
Time after time, Lornano overwhelms us both with what’s in the glass and what the critics have to say about the wines. They truly bring the best of Chianti to our Mofos. This is Gran Selezione 2016, a new wine from the range for us that earned a grandiose 4.2 on Vivino (all vintages). It’s basically the prime choice amongst all of their Chianti Classico. We’ve tasted and couldn’t agree more. It’s all dark-fruited, leaning towards black and blueberries with complementary cedar, tobacco, pepper and cinnamon. Those dried violet notes peek out as well, providing great tannic structure that hints at a long life for this gorgeous wine.
You’d pay $90 full price.

1x Socré Barbaresco DOCG 2017
Red — Nebbiolo
Piemonte — Italy
This is a new vintage of an absolutely stunning wine that we’ve been lucky to work with for four years now. This is Barbaresco, Barolo’s younger sibling that tends to be slightly more delicate, approachable and seductive. Bring out the Barolo when you want to impress your boss. Bring out the Barbaresco when you want to impress a wine lover. This wine offers a heady bouquet of tangy forest berries and cherries, with violets, rose petals, earth, mocha and licorice root. There’s tannin on the palate, but not so much that you can’t open it young. Make sure to decant to get the most out of this layered and structured wine.
You’d pay $90 full price.
