German Vintage Guide: 2017
Grape of the Week: Barbera


 
Wine As Art:
 
Petrolo
 
In 2011, Italy approved one of Tuscany’s newest appellations: the Val d’Arno di Sopra (also written as Valdarno di Sopra). The quality of the region has been known for centuries: in 1715, a Medici duke decreed it one of only four regions notable for its high-quality wine grapes.
 
Petrolo is the most notable producer of these wines, drawing inspiration from ancient traditions of their regions and their belief that great wine is “nature as dreamed by man.” Petrolo’s wines provide a wonderful introduction to this undervalued corner of Tuscany due to both their quality, but also thanks to their forward-thinking. Their impressive single-vineyard wine, Bòggina, the wine and the name of the vineyard planted in 1952, is 100% Sangiovese.

Ancient Vines @ Low Prices

Carl Loewen
 
While the Mosel is best known for its sweet Rieslings, some of the finest producers craft dry and barely off-dry bottlings. If you’re looking for powerful expressions from old vines, look no further than Carl Loewen.
 
Loewen’s holdings include some of the oldest vines in the entire Mosel. His aim is to preserve these cherished parcels, returning them to their historic esteem and often elevating them to new heights. The wines are textural, rich and complex, often from ancient, ungrafted parcels. But the real magic behind these staff-favorite Rieslings are their low prices, reminding us that there is still value to be found in one of Europe’s most hallowed vineyard lands.
