About this wine
Sell-out alert!! Chablis is a hot commodity these days, and man that went quick. Let's keep it rolling with beauty that over delivers from Tuscany!!!! Ah, is there anything better than OLD VINE Tuscany? Especially stunning, new drops of 93 POINT Isola del Cinghiale! Tusks out, Italian wine lovers, ‘cause we are CHARGING today! Get this…UNDER $30!!! If you scored our first ever drop of Isola del Cinghiale – you know what a find this is! A Last Bottle only, USA EXCLUSIVE bottling of ancient vines from the beating heart of Chianti Classico in Toscana! To many, Isola del Cinghiale’s Ema Graetz is Bibi Graetz’s lesser-known, supremely talented cousin – but to me – he’s simply the BEST guy to know in all of Italy! He’s the wizard behind the curtain that has helped broker some of Last Bottle’s ULTIMATE Italian deals – from La Massa, to Roberto Voerzio, to Biond-Santi’s Castello di Montepo…and even a few choice Champagnes, too! He’s built a vast, authentically-driven network of sooooo many of Italy’s greatest small, family-run producers – and there’s no two ways about it – he’s our Italian Ambassador of Quan. But here’s the kicker…his own wines absolutely ROCK! He’s as crazy passionate about soil, and old vines, and traditional winemaking as you will ever find, ANYWHERE…and you really haven’t lived until you see him dive headfirst into the dirt to grab a handful of galestro soil and wax poetic about what it does to transform Tuscan vineyards into something ethereal and downright magical. And THAT is just what we have here!!! Read the 93 POINT review, and tell me that doesn’t make you want a sip, a bottle, or a whole case! Mostly Sangiovese, with some local Tuscan red grapes like Colorino, Canaiolo, and Ciliegiolo, and even including a small amount of white grapes like Trebbiano and Malvasia! This is simply GORGEOUS stuff – so youthfully charming, and vibrant, with a heap of entrancing florals, and uplifting spices, and juicy, robust fruit character…WOWZA! I’ve been serving this with EVERYTHING – it is simply the ULTIMATE food companion! Pizza, and pasta, naturally – but also with burgers, grilled chicken, and BBQ pork! YUM!!! These old vines – all interplanted up to 75 years ago(!) – hail from a singularly gorgeous 4 hectares of vines tucked between Panzano and Montefioralle in the heart of Chianti. Spiced plums and luscious cherries, with this heady incense and cigar box note, roasted Tuscan herbs, all with this zesty blood orange brightness, and wisps of freshly milled cedar…just HEAVEN! UNDER $30 makes this flat-out UNBEATABLE…and our most trusted source in Tuscany has CRUSHED it yet again! Not as much as before – so move with haste, and secure enough to last, ‘cause this Island of the Boars is sure to vanish as quickly as it has come!
