Introducing… NEW & EXCLUSIVE PORTFOLIO from Italy’s MARCHE region. JOIN US for a wine tasting SAT. MARCH 14, 2-5 pm (Belmont & Concord)

The story of these wines begins with a chance encounter…a year ago, Mirco Gaggioni was visiting the Boston area– he is from Marche, Italy; his wife is from Acton, MA. While strolling through West Concord, he came into VINTAGES, and was very surprised at the tremendous selection and quality of our Italian wines. He introduced himself and we agreed to taste his portfolio of wines from the Marche region.
Now it was our turn to be surprised–we immediately recognized the quality and uniqueness of Mirco’s properties. VINTAGES found an importer to bring in the wines and they have just arrived! Yet another example of how VINTAGES works to find distinct, unique wines and introduce them to our customers and our market, continuing to broaden the selection of quality Italian wines in Massachusetts.

VINTAGES is very excited to introduce these exclusive wines from Le Marche to our customers and to the U.S. market! We hope they are not “exclusives” for long – our goal for all these great wines is for them to find the larger audience and exposure they deserve. By the way, did we mention– these wines are EXCELLENT VALUES!

NEW to our market, from LE MARCHE, ITALY:
The Marche region is located in central Italy along the eastern, Adriatic coast. Long known for excellent VERDICCHIO white wines, Marche’s other native grapes are attracting notice and gaining popularity. Elegant, fragrant, stylish wines are the calling card of this new portfolio.

2007 FIORINI BIANCHELLO del METAURO “Vigna Sant’ Ilario”  $12.99
Fine and complex white wine from the Bianchello grape; delicate fragrance, fresh ripe fruit and a pleasing minerality on the finish. Vineyards are situated on hillsides overlooking the Metauro river.

2007 CONTI di BUSCARETO Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi $15.99
Low yields and stringent selection of grapes create a classic example of this historic wine from Le Marche. Straw-colored, with white flower aromas, vibrant, crisp fruit on the palate.

2007 CONTI di BUSCARETO Lacrima di Morro d’Alba  $17.99 100% Lacrima Nera; unique, aromatic, grape with ruby color. Opens with aromas of rose petal and red berries, followed by light woodsy and spicy aromatics. Fresh fruit flavors, soft tannins, and persistent floral and fruit notes through finish. Amazingly beautiful!

2006 CONTI di BUSCARETO Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi “Ammazzonte” $25
“Ammazzonte” is the top white wine of this estate. This late-harvest selection of Verdicchio grown at high elevations is hand-picked at full ripeness to showcase the distinctive characteristics of this grape variety. Silky, smooth texture; burgundian elegance and minerality on the finish – outstanding!

JOIN US for a tasting of these Le Marche wines  next Saturday, March 14!
