Thanksgiving Italian Wine Collection Plus

Picture it: The clink of glasses, a fire crackling softly in the background, and a table laden with dishes as evocative as they are delicious. Yet, it’s the wine—bottles handpicked from Italy’s most storied vineyards—that elevates this gathering from memorable to legendary.

Start with Duca di Dolle Prosecco Valdobbiadene Superiore EXD. This isn’t a mere bubbly—it’s the essence of a starlit Italian evening distilled into each delicate, effervescent sip. Floral, crisp, with a depth of ripe pear and apple that whispers its heritage in every bubble. Perfectly light, impossibly fresh, a beginning worthy of any celebration.

Next, Castellucci Miano "Miano" Bianco, from the Madonie Mountains overlooking the vast Thyrranean Sea. A white wine jampacked with stone fruits and zest. Miano is known for pressing all the "touch points" of the palate creating a sensuous Sicilian experience. 

And then you reach Ugolini “Pozzetto” Valpolicella Classico. The wine that somehow manages to balance freshness with the warmth of dark cherry and subtle spices. It’s a portrait of Veneto’s gentle hills, perfect for lengthy conversations that meander into the night.

Now, enter Antico Borgo Taurasi Riserva 2018. Bold, complex, with hints of dark plum, leather, and tobacco—a wine aged for those who appreciate a life less hurried. This is the taste of Southern Italy, deep and layered, meant for savoring as slowly as the southern sunsets that inspired it.

Battaglio Barbaresco 2021 follows—a Nebbiolo crafted with the grace of a classic novel, yet as intense as the Piedmont mist it comes from. Roses and cherries, truffle and earth—each sip as layered as an Italian fresco, each glass as evocative as a walk through a vineyard at dusk.

And then, as the pièce de résistance: Corte dei Venti Brunello di Montalcino 2021. Majestic, robust, with an elegance honed by time. Aromas of red fruit, cedar, and a hint of balsamic rise from the glass, and with every sip, it’s as though you’re strolling through the Tuscan hills themselves, feeling centuries of tradition distilled into a single, unforgettable wine.

The Italian Wine Collection PLUS isn’t just wine—it’s an invitation. To savor, to linger, to taste Italy’s finest expressions and let them speak across time and distance. Because some evenings deserve nothing less than extraordinary.
