Staff Pick Notes

Punta Crena Pettirosso from Liguria + a big plate of meats and cheeses = my February plans. Paolo Ruffino, whose family has run the vineyard for generations, says of their farming practices, "We’re not organic... We just do everything the same way our ancestors have for hundreds of years."

Native grapes rossece and crovino are co-vinified in a single fermentation, and the wine spends 4 months on the lees.

Sangiovese has shown itself in recent years to be an excellent complement to Cabernet Sauvignon in red Italian blends; this grape duo forms the basis of many of the...
