12 Bottles of Classic Tuscany Red Wine

Opening Bid: $950

Q

12 Bottles of Classic Tuscany Red Wine Shipped to Your Home

Estimated Value $1,200

Enjoy a unique selection of classic Tuscany red wines, chosen by our sommelier team. Labels and vintages hard to find in the US, with high critic scores. You'll receive descriptive notes for each wine along with a video presentation and guided tasting with our sommelier.

Your classic Tuscany red wine package includes 3 bottles of each of the following wines:

Brunello di Montalcino Cielo D'Ulisse Le Ripi 2015. The wine displays a spectacular, intensely red garnet color. The aromas are characteristic of the Sangiovese Grosso grape, with hints of blackberries, raspberries and plums, accompanied by elegant notes of undergrowth and balsamic bursts. Aging in large oak barrels brings out the typical, delicate notes of vanilla. Fresh in the mouth, with vibrant tannins. The sip is rich and fruity, the structure is powerful and determined, all divinely supported by an acidity that gives the wine a unique balance. An absolute jewel!

Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Conti Capponi Vigna La Fornace 2016. The color is a magnificent ruby red with garnet reflections. The nose is a sequence of aromas that ranges from ripe plum and blackcurrant to forest wildflowers. The aging in oak does not cover the fruit notes, but instead compliments them with hints of delicate, warm spices. There are lovely hints of moist tobacco. In the mouth it is soft and balanced, fragrant and fresh. The tannins are thick but at the same time fine and graceful. A bottle that distinguishes itself for its elegance and finesse.

Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Montemercurio Messagero 2016. In the glass, the color is an intense red ruby. Aromas consist of typical ripe berries and plum, followed by hints of vanilla and light licorice, cloves and black pepper. In the mouth the wine is round, smooth, ideal tannins, not too dry and not too sour with a long finish. Absolutely easy to drink, both clean and crisp. Il Messaggero is most certainly a champion of balance. A wine well done, very versatile in food pairing. Of course it goes well with red meat and game, but also a lovely dish of pasta with an important meat sauce ragù can stand up to this elegant wine without being overpowered.

Bolgheri Ruit Hora Caccia Al Piano 2017. Ruit Hora is a classic exemplar of this philosophy. In the glass it displays an intense ruby-red color. The nose is rich and full, with hints of dark berries and aromatic herbs. Interesting hints of spice combine with woody and toasted notes. The sip is rich and mature. The tannins are not aggressive and are perfectly integrated with the wine’s acidity. The medium structure has a long persistence, well supported by the aromatic complexity.

Once the shipment has cleared U.S. customs, a tracking number will be issued and forwarded to your attention in order for you to follow the status of the shipment.

The nine small worlds on the islands of the archipelago may appear to be small in size, but have much to boast about. The Azores are actually the tops of some of the tallest mountains on the planet, as measured from their base at the bottom of the ocean! An ecosystem with unique characteristics, the Azores are also one of the largest whale sanctuaries in the world, with more than 20 different types of cetaceans frequently spotted in the surrounding waters. With majestic whales and friendly dolphins, the blue Atlantic Ocean becomes even more magical around these nine islands. Azores has also won multiple awards, including Europe's Leading Adventure Tourism Destination 2022 by World Travel Awards, earning the title of one of Europe's safest destinations, and being in the top 10 of the best islands in Europe by Condé Nast Traveler's 2022 Choice Award!

Discover the fascinating history of the wine culture on Pico Island as you hike the emblematic trail through the Protected Landscape of the Pico Island Vineyard Culture area. You'll traverse a 1500 year old lava field and hike through ancient walls that were built from lava rock as you make your way to the Wine Museum. As you enter the main room of the building, be prepared to relive the history of the island's wine, from the introduction of grape growing and the golden times of the Verdelho, exported to Brazil and Russia, to the ruin caused in 1852 by the powdery mildew and the phylloxera. In this land, the vine is cultivated over rocky lava beds, very rich in potassium.

Stay in the comfort of a one-bedroom apartment, including a living room and kitchenette, and featuring gorgeous views, during your stay in a small village on Pico Island. On the premises you'll find a heated infinity pool, a multi-use panoramic room, a restaurant, a small grocery shop, as well as a gift shop. Pico Island is one of the most beautiful and underrated islands of the Azores, and stands majestically in the middle of the Azorean central group. Volcanic eruptions ended 300 years ago so Pico is considered a dormant volcano, which adds to the mystique of the island, where the landscape is a sublime mixture of lava rock and exotic vegetation. Though the island is sparsely populated, it boasts some of the best swimming holes in the Azores.
