Vinitaly has created a system at <strong>the</strong> service of companies designed to interpret markets<br />

and promote business. This system includes initiatives such as OperaWine, Vinitaly Wine<br />

Club, Vinitaly International Academy and wine2wine, joined by Wine South America in<br />

Brazil and, as of <strong>2020</strong>, Wine to Asia in Shenzhen, China. In <strong>the</strong> meantime, we are working<br />

on a new initiative in North America. All <strong>the</strong>se international events are dedicated to <strong>the</strong><br />

promotion, commerce, and culture of wine.<br />

In Italy and <strong>the</strong> Old Continent, we take wine culture for granted, yet it still has to be<br />

developed in areas where wine consumption is much more recent and where taste and<br />

trends are still evolving. <strong>5StarWines</strong> - <strong>the</strong> <strong>Book</strong>—with its selection of a wide range of wines<br />

assessed by an accredited jury of oenologists, sommeliers, buyers, and journalists—is a valid<br />

starting point for new ‘wine lovers’ and a landmark publication for admirers and operators<br />

active in <strong>the</strong> wine sector, including wine-making companies <strong>the</strong>mselves.<br />

<strong>5StarWines</strong> - <strong>the</strong> <strong>Book</strong> is a product that is by no means limited to <strong>the</strong> pages of a guide: it is<br />

interpreted as a brand that companies whose wines have been selected can exhibit during<br />

trade fairs and on <strong>the</strong>ir bottles, as well as in a series of initiatives and events around <strong>the</strong><br />

world ranging from b2b to master classes and tastings.<br />

This concentration of expertise seeks to enhance <strong>the</strong> commitment of those wineries that<br />

invest to improve <strong>the</strong>ir production by helping <strong>the</strong>m achieve even more market recognition.<br />

This mission is part of Vinitaly’s DNA: going back 53 editions, Vinitaly has always worked as<br />

a tool to promote <strong>the</strong> Italian and international wine sector.<br />

Wine is a fascinating yet complex product and a tool such as <strong>5StarWines</strong> - <strong>the</strong> <strong>Book</strong> is<br />

essential for its promotion by bringing wines, wineries, old and new consumers toge<strong>the</strong>r and<br />

stimulating <strong>the</strong> international market.<br />

This year, 676 5Star wines were assessed for Vinitaly by <strong>the</strong> specialist jury in <strong>the</strong> only guide<br />

created by an international trade fair, starting off from a base of 3,100 entries compared to<br />

2,733 in 2018.<br />

This is a clear sign of <strong>the</strong> authoritativeness that companies recognize in this format (first<br />

launched three years ago) and in a jury made up of 100 experts arranged by geographical<br />

specialization and led by Lynne Sherriff MW, Pedro Ballesteros Torres MW, Robert Joseph,<br />

Daniele Cernilli, Monty Waldin, and Bernard Burtschy.<br />

Only 22% of <strong>the</strong> wines entered by 1,100 wineries in Argentina, Brazil, Canada, <strong>the</strong> United<br />

States, France, and obviously Italy were included by <strong>the</strong> jury in <strong>the</strong> guide—in o<strong>the</strong>r words, only<br />

<strong>the</strong> labels that achieved a score of at least 90 hundredths. This internationally recognized<br />

assessment score in hundredths ensures that correct values are given to wine production.<br />

There were also growing numbers for <strong>the</strong> 2019 edition of Wine Without Walls, <strong>the</strong> section<br />

dedicated to natural, biodynamic and low-sulphite wines: this year 63 wines were selected in<br />

this category (compared to 24 selected for <strong>the</strong> same category in 2018) starting from a base<br />

of 135 entries (as opposed to <strong>the</strong> 45 total entries received last year). This is clear testimony to<br />

a growing interest on <strong>the</strong> market and among wine producers for what was a niche segment<br />

only a few years ago.<br />

This result attests to <strong>the</strong> credibility of a tool designed to make <strong>the</strong> difference between<br />

professionals in <strong>the</strong> HoReCa sector, buyers and distributors, taking its own place in Vinitaly’s<br />

mission of becoming a preferential promotion vehicle on Italian and international markets alike.<br />

Every year organizing <strong>5StarWines</strong> presents a new challenge and this year was no exception.<br />

However, our team has embraced each obstacle as an opportunity to improve and—<br />

hopefully—we have made progress with regards to <strong>the</strong> formation of <strong>the</strong> team of judges<br />

(both reconfirmed and new), <strong>the</strong> organization of <strong>the</strong> event, and <strong>the</strong> smooth running of<br />

operations for our three-day tasting marathon leading up to Vinitaly. Let me remind<br />

readers that <strong>the</strong> main objective of <strong>the</strong> <strong>5StarWines</strong> selection is to facilitate <strong>the</strong> showcase of<br />

participating producers with a special attention to <strong>the</strong> awardees (our “5Star” wines).<br />

In order to do this, a dedicated team is required not just during <strong>the</strong> three-day affair, but also<br />

before and after <strong>the</strong> event to maximize awardees’ promotion during Vinitaly. In particular,<br />

every year, <strong>the</strong> tasting finishes late into <strong>the</strong> evening, after <strong>the</strong> General Chairmen tally <strong>the</strong><br />

final score for <strong>the</strong> wines (grazie Pedro, Robert, Bernard, Monty, and Lynne!). That same<br />

evening, and well into <strong>the</strong> early hours of <strong>the</strong> following day, our team works to publish <strong>the</strong> list<br />

of all <strong>the</strong> producers awarded with 90 points and above. The next step entails liaising with<br />

<strong>the</strong> IT team from Veronafiere so that <strong>the</strong>y can properly assign <strong>the</strong> winners on <strong>the</strong> Vinitaly<br />

App and push notifications of winners on <strong>the</strong> App while <strong>the</strong> expo is in full swing in <strong>the</strong><br />

fairgrounds. At first glance this process may sound straightforward enough. However, you<br />

must trust me when I tell you that it takes extreme patience and dedication to streamline<br />

various teams to make <strong>the</strong> magic happen. On that note, I would like to firstly thank our<br />

<strong>5StarWines</strong> team: Marina who dedicates most of her life to shape <strong>the</strong> guide in its current<br />

form; Karla and Franco for taking on every query that comes <strong>the</strong>ir way always with a smile;<br />

Gaia and Andrea for coordinating all aspects of <strong>the</strong> event.<br />

8


After Vinitaly <strong>the</strong>re are plenty of things to follow-up including Wine Searcher listings, special<br />

tastings during our various Vinitaly events in Verona and abroad, planning <strong>the</strong> new Web App<br />

for <strong>the</strong> next edition, not to mention planning <strong>the</strong> following edition of <strong>the</strong> book. All this work<br />

cannot happen without a <strong>5StarWines</strong> support team: Michela, Giulia, Daniela, Joy, Ornella,<br />

Rebecca, Nasir, Marco, Giacomo, Veronica, Lucrezia, Luca, Maria, Mauro, Francesco, Franco,<br />

Daria, Bruno, Stefano, Sabrina, Lenalisa, Marta, Elisa, Silvia, Flavio, Monica, Alessandro, Fabio,<br />

and everybody else that I may have forgotten.<br />

Gianni Bruno, Brand Manager at Vinitaly, and his dedicated team also deserve a special<br />

mention for continuing to believe in this project and assisting in every possible way in its<br />

organization.<br />

I would like to thank, once again, ICE-Italian Trade Agency for <strong>the</strong>ir unwavering support in<br />

bringing our international cohort of judges to Verona.<br />

Special thanks to <strong>the</strong> Assoenologi association—in particular to President Riccardo Cotarella<br />

and Director Paolo Brogioni—for continuing to endorse <strong>the</strong> event. Thank you to lead<br />

enologists Giacomo Moretti and Andrea Zanni for <strong>the</strong>ir seamless organization of <strong>the</strong> wines<br />

on site before, during, and after <strong>the</strong> event.<br />

This year, <strong>the</strong> “Chief Indian Editor” was Monty Waldin who has also already provided some<br />

excellent—and some typically esoteric—suggestions as to how we can improve <strong>the</strong> book<br />

for <strong>the</strong> next edition (please let us at least wrap this one first!). I would like to thank him for<br />

all his work and precious input in <strong>the</strong> event.<br />

<strong>5StarWines</strong> is truly a collective effort. Team members and affiliate partners have been<br />

outstanding and generous in <strong>the</strong>ir support and efficiency even at stressful times and, once<br />

more, I would like to extend my most sincere grazie di cuore to all involved.<br />

INTRODUCTION<br />

11


One of <strong>the</strong> most encouraging aspects of this year’s <strong>5StarWines</strong> - <strong>the</strong> <strong>Book</strong> blind wine tasting<br />

from an Italian perspective was how well many of <strong>the</strong> wines from cooperative wineries fared.<br />

Right across <strong>the</strong> board from Trentino-Alto Adige and <strong>the</strong> Veneto in <strong>the</strong> north, to Puglia, Sicily<br />

and Sardinia in <strong>the</strong> south.<br />

Historically, Italy’s cooperatives have found <strong>the</strong>mselves—like <strong>the</strong>ir peers in o<strong>the</strong>r European<br />

countries—in <strong>the</strong> invidious situation of needing to generate cash flow by supplying base<br />

wines in bulk to independent, privately owned producers and merchant-blenders who quite<br />

rightly have no substantive interest in acknowledging <strong>the</strong> source of <strong>the</strong> wine publicly when<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir focus is consolidating <strong>the</strong> building of <strong>the</strong>ir own brand and margins. And worse, <strong>the</strong><br />

private producers (and dare I say my fellow commentators in <strong>the</strong> media) can often be ra<strong>the</strong>r<br />

dismissive about <strong>the</strong> very concept of <strong>the</strong> cooperative model, arguing that <strong>the</strong> winemaking is<br />

akin to making soup, whereby everything goes into <strong>the</strong> pot, nullifying wine’s most cherished<br />

shibboleth, namely terroir expression.<br />

But this argument falls down when we remember that <strong>the</strong> virtue of soup is that it often does<br />

contain a range of flavours precisely because of <strong>the</strong> range of ingredients within. Likening<br />

onions, carrots, peas and so on to say Corvina, Rondinella, Oseleta, and Corvinone may seem<br />

strange but is indubitably valid. And blending Corvina, Rondinella, Oseleta, and Corvinone<br />

grapes from say a dozen cooperative producers provides potentially nearly fifty lots to work<br />

with, assuming of course <strong>the</strong> cooperative has <strong>the</strong> fermentation space.<br />

Ano<strong>the</strong>r reason in favour of cooperatives (President Trump, please look away now…) is<br />

climate change. This is challenging everyone, and everything we take for granted, from <strong>the</strong><br />

availability of our customary foodstuffs in <strong>the</strong> shops or even <strong>the</strong> availability of <strong>the</strong> train we<br />

usually hope to catch to go to work.<br />

Disrupted transport services apply to grapes, too. If sap movement in <strong>the</strong> vine phloem stops<br />

because of extreme heat and dryness, this compromises <strong>the</strong> crop in terms of both quality<br />

and potential yield. The ability cooperative winegrowers have to share fixed costs in times<br />

of uncertainty—historically political uncertainty, now climatical—is a comforting advantage, if<br />

not of course a panacea.<br />

Editing <strong>the</strong> tasting notes for <strong>the</strong> <strong>5StarWines</strong> - <strong>the</strong> <strong>Book</strong> winners can be both a trauma and a<br />

pleasure. Let me explain, by starting with <strong>the</strong> pleasure.<br />

The pleasure is having a truly international panel of judges. This is <strong>the</strong> only way Italy, or<br />

any o<strong>the</strong>r wine producing country, can measure itself against international yardsticks for<br />

wine quality, wine style, and value for money. Not only does <strong>5StarWines</strong> - <strong>the</strong> <strong>Book</strong> attract<br />

globally renowned Masters of Wine and Sommeliers as judges, it also reels in viticulturists and<br />

oenologists as well as marketing, branding and sales experts. The mix of judges, <strong>the</strong>refore,<br />

means each wine not only gets tasted by different palates, but also by minds whose<br />

interpretations can be as diverse as <strong>the</strong>y are synergistic regarding styling, value for money,<br />

or terroir expression. This diversity is important in an international tasting whose wines are<br />

drawn from both hemispheres, not just Italy, and with wines from 17 countries in total.<br />

The trauma comes with trying to distill <strong>the</strong> several individual tasting notes each wine<br />

generates into a single note that perfectly represents each 5Star wine on its own merits.<br />

But words are no substitute for tasting <strong>the</strong> wines yourselves, of course.<br />

JUDGES<br />

The significance of <strong>5StarWines</strong> - <strong>the</strong> <strong>Book</strong> lies in <strong>the</strong> highly-qualified,<br />

international panel of judges comprising Masters of Wine, Master<br />

Sommeliers, sommeliers, wine journalists, and oenologists. Under<br />

<strong>the</strong> scientific guidance of Lynne Sherriff MW, <strong>the</strong> international team<br />

of judges was led by an expert panel of General Chairmen: Pedro<br />

Ballesteros Torres, Master of Wine from Spain and Member of <strong>the</strong><br />

Governing Council of <strong>the</strong> Institute of Masters of Wine; Bernard<br />

Burtschy, President of <strong>the</strong> French Wine Press and columnist for<br />

Le Figaro; Robert Joseph, Editor at Large for Meininger’s Wine<br />

Business International; Daniele Cernilli, “Doctor Wine” and cofounder<br />

of Gambero Rosso; Monty Waldin, wine writer (Decanter),<br />

broadcaster, and author of 13 books on arganic and biodynamic wine.<br />

Wines were initially tasted by working panels of judges and<br />

assigned points up to 100. In order to receive <strong>the</strong> 5StarWine<br />

recognition, wines that scored 90 or above during <strong>the</strong> first<br />

panel tasting were re-sampled by <strong>the</strong> General Chairmen.<br />

The whole group of judges featured 100 professionals with<br />

high credentials. <strong>5StarWines</strong> judges are also Michelin-starred<br />

restaurateurs, importers, educators, and o<strong>the</strong>r wine sector<br />

professionals that give this guide immense credibility and standing.<br />

On <strong>the</strong> importance of <strong>the</strong> <strong>5StarWines</strong> selection for <strong>the</strong> wineries,<br />

Pedro Ballesteros adds: “From a professional point of view, it’s good<br />

for Italian wines. Here, <strong>the</strong>re is a majority of foreign experts in wine<br />

who are going to be able to position Italian wines in relation to <strong>the</strong><br />

competitors from o<strong>the</strong>r country. They are going to introduce an element<br />

of ‘international taste’, which should be extremely helpful for Italian<br />

producers. <strong>5StarWines</strong> should be a major tool for Italian producers<br />

to receive feedback on how <strong>the</strong> quality of <strong>the</strong>ir wines is perceived by<br />

top-level experts from all over <strong>the</strong> world. A unique opportunity for<br />

Italian producers to source precious information about <strong>the</strong>ir wines.”<br />

The international and expert reputation of <strong>the</strong> judges coupled with <strong>the</strong><br />

participation of over 3000 wines from continents such as Europe as<br />

well as North and South America highlights <strong>the</strong> growing importance<br />

of <strong>5StarWines</strong> globally.<br />

A textbook Barolo with everything in its proper place. The red fruit<br />

aromas are bright and clearly defined. In <strong>the</strong> mouth <strong>the</strong> wine shows<br />

<strong>the</strong> best of <strong>the</strong> Nebbiolo grape from which it is made, being savoury,<br />

intense, elegantly smooth with fine grained tannins and lightly spicy,<br />

mouthwatering fruit.<br />

This classic Sardinian red was made by fermenting toge<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong> hand<br />

picked grapes of Cannonau and Bovaleddu. The evident concentration<br />

A powerful Chardonnay, almost like an old-style Californian wine, but<br />

with a fine line of acidity to create refreshing mineral streaks which<br />

keep <strong>the</strong> fruit pure and fresh. The wine aged 10 months in 500-litre<br />

oak casks ra<strong>the</strong>r than smaller 225-litre barrels to avoid excess oakiness,<br />

allowing <strong>the</strong> ripe stone and tropical fruit to reach <strong>the</strong>ir full expression.<br />

ALTO ADIGE DOC LAGREIN GRIESER RISERVA<br />

“PRESTIGE LINE” 2016<br />

This red from Lagrein grapes grown in Alto Adige’s warm Bolzano<br />

(Bozen) valley ripened slowly, helped by pebbly, heat retentive soils<br />

in which tiny quartz fragments twinkle when <strong>the</strong> sun shines. A wine<br />

with very rich, ripe blackberry fruit and a fine-grained mouthfeel. Worth<br />

savouring over two days to see how <strong>the</strong> fruit relaxes and expresses.<br />

ALTO ADIGE DOC SAUVIGNON “KOFL” 2017<br />

A Sauvignon Blanc with ripe gooseberry and basil aromas with a twist<br />

of nectarine. The oak is nicely balanced–not always easy to achieve<br />

with a sometimes pungently aromatic grape like Sauvignon Blanc–<br />

and augments a rich palate whose layers of tangy citrus and classic<br />

gooseberry freshness, end on an elegant note of wet stone.<br />

sensitive oak ageing allowed <strong>the</strong> tannins to fill out fully. Balsamic<br />

notes are lifted by tangy sour red cherries. Fig and sultana flavours are<br />

sprinkled with dusty dried floral notes. Drink over <strong>the</strong> next 5-8 years.<br />

ORVIETO DOC CLASSICO SUPERIORE MUFFA NOBILE<br />

VINO BIOLOGICO “CALCAIA” 2015<br />

The gently golden hues of this sweet Umbrian white come from <strong>the</strong> nobly<br />

rotten (‘muffa nobile’) grapes it was made from. Look for flavours of<br />

candied fruit, calendula, orange blossom and its subsequent marmalade<br />

fruit, hay, oregano, and wood spices. Its lightly oily texture makes it a<br />

good choice with toasted unsalted bread spread with liver paté.<br />

A sweet white wine made with hand picked, sun-dried Moscato<br />

A zinger of a Zibibbo (Muscat of Alexandria) from organic vines in<br />

TAURASI DOCG “VIGNA CINQUE QUERCE” 2011<br />

You can tell from its bright, rich, jammy cherry fruit with a likeably spicy<br />

edge that this wine comes from <strong>the</strong> luminously bright climes of Avellino<br />

province in Italy’s deep south. But because <strong>the</strong> Aglianico grapes are<br />

grown at very high altitudes <strong>the</strong> richness is tempered, forging a fine<br />

inner structure which gives <strong>the</strong> wine its insistent mouthfeel.<br />

AGLIANICO DEL VULTURE SUPERIORE DOCG<br />

“CARATO VENUSIO” 2012<br />

91<br />

An Aglianico del Vulture with ‘superiore’ on <strong>the</strong> label like this one will<br />

have been oak aged, which in <strong>the</strong> case of this smooth operator was<br />

French oak. The result is a lush savory wine with masses of dark plum<br />

and black cherry fruit, sumptuous, majestic, spicy and fine-grained. Still<br />

youthfully grainy, so a braised Basilicata lamb would pair well.<br />

91<br />

A brooding Aglianico from <strong>the</strong> prized Rionero area on <strong>the</strong> slopes of<br />

blueberry-fruited red, with gentle vanilla oak so as not to overwhelm.<br />

Decant before preparing <strong>the</strong> typical local dish of slow roast lamb with<br />

An unoaked Sicilian red made from very low yielding vines planted on<br />

a high, exposed site at 400 metres (1,310 feet) in 1974. The richness of<br />

texture and a layered, compact style of fruit expression makes for a<br />

well-proportioned wine. Decant before serving. Look for dark, ripe fruit,<br />

savoury herbs, bay leaf, tobacco and balsamic notes.<br />

CHIANTI CLASSICO DOCG RISERVA 2016<br />

91<br />

This Chianti Classico made from 100% Sangiovese was praised for<br />

being a great example of <strong>the</strong> more traditional style, unencumbered by<br />

heaps of new oak or fancy winemaking techniques which can make <strong>the</strong><br />

fruit shiny and polished, but often hollow too. It is savoury with herbal,<br />

balasmic and cypress notes. A juicy Tuscan tagliata would pair well.<br />

MARCHE IGT ROSSO “LUKONT” 2015<br />

91<br />

Deep ruby in colour this rich, complex, well-structured & appealingly<br />

juicy red shows notes of soft lea<strong>the</strong>r, hay, toast & baking spices, along<br />

with a warming effect from masses of dark blue and black fruit from<br />

<strong>the</strong> Montepulciano grape. Vanilla influences from oak ageing make this<br />

finely assembled red more suited to main courses than on its own by<br />

<strong>the</strong> glass.<br />

MARSALA DOC VERGINE RISERVA<br />

“N.167 SINGLE BARREL” 2001<br />

91<br />

The judges ran out of words to praise this beautiful, amber coloured<br />

marvel of a Marsala which aged over 15 years in a single cask. Very<br />

concentrated, it shows an excellent balance between richness,<br />

sweetness and acidity, a complex range of dried fruits, caramel, nuts<br />

and fantastic, fascinating oxidative aromas and flavours.<br />

MODENA DOC LAMBRUSCO SPUMANTE DRY<br />

“PRUNO NERO” 2018<br />

91<br />

A lovely example of <strong>the</strong> Lambrusco Grasparossa from its homeland<br />

of Modena, showing characteristic almond notes over an elegant<br />

mouthfeel, oozing juicy blackberry, raspberry and blueberry fruits with<br />

fine fizziness. It is exuberant and youthful with a well-balanced richness<br />

to <strong>the</strong> fruit and streamlined tannins.<br />

MONREALE DOC NERO D’AVOLA “VUARIA” 2015<br />

91<br />

A bone dry Nero d’Avola red from around Palermo, Sicily whose deep<br />

undercurrent of lea<strong>the</strong>r, mineral and game is overlaid by rich, full-bodied,<br />

but impeccably balanced and juicy dark fruit. A worthy representative<br />

of Monreal or <strong>the</strong> ‘Mount Royal’, named after its conquest by <strong>the</strong><br />

Norman counts 900 or so years ago.<br />

MONTEPULCIANO D’ABRUZZO DOC “NEGUS” 2012<br />

91<br />

The richness of this red made from 100% Montepulciano grapes<br />

in Abruzzo is due both to a hot season and letting grapes mature<br />

later on <strong>the</strong> vine than usual before picking. A lick of soft French oak<br />

adds smooth vanilla topping to very dense and dark cherry, kirsch,<br />

and chocolate notes. A big wine in need of a lavishly carniverous dish.<br />

MONTEPULCIANO D’ABRUZZO DOP<br />

“PERSONALMENTE” 2008<br />

91<br />

Beautifully refined and elegant on both <strong>the</strong> nose and palate. The cooler<br />

2008 vintage shows through here. There is a great balance between<br />

dark berry and cherry fruits, well used oak, spice notes and lingering,<br />

fresh acidity. A wine that is in great shape now, but will drink well for<br />

at least five years.<br />

NURAGUS DI CAGLIARI DOC “PERLAS” 2018<br />

A very well made expression of what is often a neutral grape variety.<br />

A wine of exceptional purity, harmomy and balance. Intense aromas of<br />

waxy yellow plums, white peach, plantain and wild mint recall Sardinia’s<br />

mediteranean scrub and present a savory counterpoint to <strong>the</strong> vibrant<br />

fruit. Pure and evocative of where it’s grown.<br />

PRIMITIVO DI MANDURIA DOC “ATER” 2014<br />

Primitivo di Manduria is one of Italy’s most forceful reds, hailing from<br />

Puglia’s dazzlingly bright, torrid, almost endless Salento peninsula.<br />

Descriptors like sumptuous and juicy, powerful and chocolatey are<br />

often applied to Primitivo’s dark fruits flavours here, and this wine is a<br />

classic example, seasoned with charred oak notes from wood ageing.<br />

“MARIA COSTANZA” 2013<br />

91<br />

Bottle age has allowed <strong>the</strong> often exuberantly rich textures of youthful<br />

Nero d’Avola to round out, allowing <strong>the</strong> fruit a fuller, broader expression<br />

as its sinks comfortably into this wine’s naturally rich tannins. Look for<br />

notes of deep wild blackberry compote, with cocoa, coffee, smoke and<br />

wild garrigue herbs.<br />

Delicious late harvest character here made as a dry wine. Intense,<br />

rounded, elegant notes of barely ripe pineapple, white peach &<br />

nectarine. Soft, creamy yet with very well balanced acidity. The finish<br />

has quite a bit of salty licorice (from volcanic soils) suggesting <strong>the</strong> wine<br />

might become even rounder and fruitier with time.<br />

Very clean and fresh on both <strong>the</strong> nose and palate, this is a very nice<br />

example of zero dosage Prosecco. Extremely dry on <strong>the</strong> palate, <strong>the</strong>re is<br />

a load of minerality here, with an almost salty aftertaste. The wine has a<br />

VINO SPUMANTE DI QUALITÀ EXTRA BRUT<br />

“VERVE” 2013<br />

91<br />

A pale, salmon pink coloured sparkling wine whose bubbles are lively<br />

and persistent. The mouthfeel has a strong, savory, mineral-driven,<br />

almost understated edge, which is hard to achieve but makes for an<br />

especially food friendly fizz. Add some pristine pale red fruit notes<br />

from <strong>the</strong> Pinot Noir and you have a versatile, classy sparkler.<br />

MILLESIMATO VINO BIOLOGICO 2014<br />

The Funaro family founded <strong>the</strong>ir winery in 2003 having decided<br />

to make wine from vineyards that had been in <strong>the</strong>ir family for three<br />

generations. Their sparkling Chardonnay shows marvelous balance and<br />

finesse. The creamy, elegant texture and lingering finish complement<br />

<strong>the</strong> delicate citrus and stone fruit arrayed in multiple layers,<br />

ALTA LANGA DOCG SPUMANTE EXTRA BRUT<br />

MILLESIMATO “CUVÉE AURORA” 2014<br />

A very fresh and notably assertive Pinot-Chardonnay fizz both on <strong>the</strong><br />

nose and on <strong>the</strong> palate. Very fresh tasting with really bright fruit, a good<br />

structure and a crisp, mineral feel to it. Good yeastiness too, which<br />

adds density but without making <strong>the</strong> wine at all heavy. An excellent<br />

candidate not just as an aperitif but with lighter dishes too.<br />

new and old oak, this shows a balance of refinement and power. Fine<br />

concentration, <strong>the</strong>re is some lovely fruit purity here. Great to drink now.<br />

A big Amarone on every level. Masses of spicy red forest fruit, huge<br />

tannins that feel like big beanbags you could seat yourself and a couple<br />

of friends on, lashings of oak from barrel ageing and with lots of fruit to<br />

balance everything out. Very generous, but very balanced. Bravo.<br />

AMARONE DELLA VALPOLICELLA DOCG “Q” 2016<br />

A deep ruby colour with medium intensity on <strong>the</strong> nose of plum, cherry<br />

jam and a sultana twist. The palate has a well-worked, medium level<br />

of acidity which gives good flow to <strong>the</strong> wine with <strong>the</strong> alcohol wellintegrated<br />

into deep, robust but round and powerful fruit flavours which<br />

are precise and thus neatly avoid <strong>the</strong> obvious pitfall of jamminess.<br />

A typically intense Amarone in terms of flavour and fruit weight,<br />

but one which is really nicely balanced, mainly because any residual<br />

sweetness is hidden in <strong>the</strong> background. This allows <strong>the</strong> fresh red fruit<br />

notes with a touch of preserved cherry to shine, along with rosemary<br />

BARBERA D’ASTI DOCG SUPERIORE “MENEGO” 2015<br />

A Barbera d’Asti with notable balance and genuine typicity.<br />

Characteristically bold and forward wine for <strong>the</strong> vintage with lots<br />

of drippingly ripe blackberry and dark cherry. The concentration<br />

is significant but <strong>the</strong> acidity keeps <strong>the</strong> wine light, fluid and super<br />

digestible.<br />

BAROLO DOCG “DURÈ” 2014<br />

This is a succesful Barolo from what was a tricky vintage with clean fruit<br />

and excellent balance even at this young stage. Beautiful and complex<br />

aromas of floral, fruit, herbs, and savoriness. Appealing black cherry and<br />

raspberry with iron shavings and tobacco. Concentrated flavours where<br />

<strong>the</strong> fruit holds. Balanced and <strong>the</strong> aftertaste is persistent.<br />

vats and lightly toasted French barrels. It shows classic Nebbiolo fruit<br />

A deep, inky purple Campanian red with lifted aromatics of kirsch<br />

and blueberry toge<strong>the</strong>r with rhubarb and licorice root. The palate is<br />

SICILIA DOC GRILLO VINO BIOLOGICO “KHEIRÈ” 2018<br />

Finely tuned aromas of stone fruit, quince and lemon drop. The palate,<br />

mid-weighted and dry, is far from being aggressive, <strong>the</strong> acidity instead<br />

being subtly forthright so as to power <strong>the</strong> fruit notes forcefully through<br />

<strong>the</strong> mid-palate and on into <strong>the</strong> aftertaste. Overall, it is very satisfying.<br />

TERRE DEL VOLTURNO IGT PALLAGRELLO BIANCO<br />

“CALÙ” 2018<br />

Persuasive nose of ripe fleshy green apple fruit and white flowers with<br />

citrus hints. Similarly it has a distinguished palate, it is mouth filling, with<br />

exemplary balance and length. A convincing blend of local varieties<br />

which showcases <strong>the</strong> lesser known Palagrello grape.<br />

TERRE DI CHIETI IGP PECORINO 2018<br />

A very original Pecorino that needs a little time in <strong>the</strong> glass to reveal its<br />

array of flavours, such as ripe yellow apple and juicy apricot. In <strong>the</strong> mouth<br />

it shows richness and density but without being at all over-bearing.<br />

A stony minerality <strong>the</strong>n leads to a lovely salty and mouthwatering finish.<br />

berries, cherry cola, and black pepper. Very fresh, juicy, clean, simple - a<br />

very pleasant red.<br />

VALDOBBIADENE DOCG SUPERIORE DI CARTIZZE<br />

SPUMANTE BRUT “FORTUNATO” 2018<br />

A pale lemon coloured Cartizze with a good intensity level to its pear,<br />

lemon, green apple and white blossom flavours. A pleasant refreshing<br />

palate shows a creamy mousse, fresh floral notes with honeyed twists<br />

vying with equally mouthwatering stone fruit. Great typicity and<br />

complexity and length.<br />

SPUMANTE DRY “BASTÌA” 2018<br />

A pale lemon green Cartizze with pronounced aromas of golden<br />

apple, ripe pear and yellow flowers. The palate is rich and complex,<br />

balanced by good acidity. Creamy mousse, good intensity of stone fruit,<br />

integrated fruit and honey on <strong>the</strong> palate. Just enough acidity to carry<br />

<strong>the</strong> creamy sweetness.<br />

A Cartizze with white flowers, pear, lemon peel and pine needle notes,<br />

ripe and refreshing. The mouthfeel is voluptuous, almost exotic, with<br />

honeydew and a clever hint of lemon bitterness to make <strong>the</strong> richness<br />

more mouthwatering and thus irresistible. Will age well in bottle too for<br />

at least a decade – if you can resist its soft, foaming charms.<br />

Very classic Prosecco. Beautiful freshness despite being made in a<br />

deliberately oxidative style. This leaves simple but elegant fruit, and<br />

avoids superfluous unfermented sugar to create an artifice of overexaggerated<br />

fruitiness. Notes of white peach, citrus, orange blossom<br />

and apple. Delicate white flowers, too. Very good.<br />

This Valdobbiadene Prosecco won high praise for its notably fine<br />

balance between fruit expression, palate weight, <strong>the</strong> mousse, overall<br />

mouthfeel and, if we can coin a phrase, its ‘Prosecco-ness’. Notes of ripe<br />

yellow pear and soft-centred apricots create a lovely smooth, yellowfruited<br />

VALPOLICELLA DOC CLASSICO SUPERIORE<br />

“CATERINA ZARDINI” 2017<br />

This is a very solid, dense expression of <strong>the</strong> heavier ripasso expression,<br />

drawing on riper and darker fruit tones and force of extract, body and<br />

A Valpolicella Ripasso with real freshness of fruit, both aromatically and<br />

VERDICCHIO DEI CASTELLI DI JESI DOC CLASSICO<br />

Boccafosca was founded in 2006 by two families who renovated an<br />

old cooperative winery. Their Stellaria is a precise interpretation of<br />

<strong>the</strong> marvelous Verdicchio grape. Its quietly persistent, salty undertow<br />

is mouthwatering, its citrus fruit more about elegance than power,<br />

its roundness of form better suited to mains ra<strong>the</strong>r than starters.<br />

VERONESE IGT CORVINA “CRESASSO” 2013<br />

A very generously formed and generously complex Corvina. The<br />

mouthfeel is built around deep, vibrant and refreshing fruit. This takes<br />

time to emerge fully, making this still young wine a good candidate<br />

for decanting. The aftertaste is persistent with hints of dried fruits and<br />

spice. Delicious.<br />

“A - COLFONDO ANCESTRALE “ 2017<br />

The yeast lees play <strong>the</strong> key role in <strong>the</strong> increasingly popular Prosecco<br />

fine lea<strong>the</strong>r, dried herbs, and some rich tarry notes, like Nebbiolo. T<br />

he mouthfeel is very lively, delicate with fine-grained tannins and very<br />

subtle fruit. Lovely personality and delightfully esoteric.<br />

VERDICCHIO DEI CASTELLI DI JESI DOC CLASSICO<br />

SUPERIORE VINO BIOLOGICO “ATAVICO” 2018<br />

The soft bruised apple notes on <strong>the</strong> nose are matched by marginally<br />

crunchier pears and <strong>the</strong> same flavour and textural <strong>the</strong>mes extend to <strong>the</strong><br />

mouthfeel. This is defined by crunchy, tightly wound fruit and refreshing<br />

acidity. Really good Verdicchio typicity, and ending with a classic saline<br />

finish.<br />

TERRE SICILIANE IGP CATARRATTO MACERATO<br />

VINO BIOLOGICO “CINQUE INVERNI” 2014<br />

91<br />

Deep orange-bronze colour and slightly oxidative (but not oxidised).<br />

There is a distinct cordite gunflint note in what is a power-driven aroma<br />

profile, almost with a savoury cedar ra<strong>the</strong>r than resinous note making it<br />

interesting and distinctive. Has real vibrancy and interest on <strong>the</strong> palate<br />

Wine Without Walls is <strong>the</strong> natural wine section of <strong>the</strong> <strong>5StarWines</strong> -<br />

<strong>the</strong> <strong>Book</strong> guide. The Wine Without Walls category featured natural,<br />

organic, biodynamic, and low sulphite wines coming from every corner<br />

of <strong>the</strong> world. The 2019 edition of Wine Without Walls opened its doors<br />

to companies producing wines with sulphite levels below 80 mg/lt,<br />

an increase from <strong>the</strong> previous limit of 50 mg/lt. The intention behind<br />

this change was to make Wine Without Walls slightly more inclusive,<br />

but without going so far as to include every single organic, natural or<br />

biodynamic wine ever made.<br />

Biodynamic wine writer Monty Waldin retained <strong>the</strong> scientific direction<br />

of Wine Without Walls. Waldin was joined by four fellow judges:<br />

Christopher Barnes, Founder and Editor at Grape Collective; Gill<br />

Gordon-Smith, CEO at Fall From Grace, Vinitaly International Academy<br />

Wine Expert, and artisan wine producer based in <strong>the</strong> McLaren Vale<br />

region (Australia); Richard Kershaw MW, winemaker and Founder at<br />

Richard Kershaw Wines in South Africa; Mark Cuff, owner of The Living<br />

Vine Inc. (Canada).<br />

Wine Without Walls jury rated biodynamic and organic wines using <strong>the</strong><br />

same numerical assessment method used for <strong>the</strong> <strong>5StarWines</strong> grand<br />

tasting. For <strong>the</strong> first time, along with a final score and a personalized<br />

commendation, participants also ran for <strong>the</strong> “Best Winery” and “Best<br />

Wine Without Walls Wine” trophies.<br />

to judge <strong>the</strong>m as if <strong>the</strong>y were tasting <strong>the</strong>m with friends at home ra<strong>the</strong>r than with fellow<br />

pointy-headed wine professionals. Hence, low- or zero-sulfite wines that some blind tastings<br />

would have thrown out with a ‘no score’ because <strong>the</strong>y were a little ‘bretty’ or ‘mousey’, for<br />

example, managed to gain high scores. Our Wine Without Walls judges were looking for<br />

enjoyment, savoriness, salinity, freshness, individuality, balance and most of all ‘whe<strong>the</strong>r my<br />

friends and family members might like to drink this wine.’ You cannot have wine tastings<br />

like Wine Without Walls with judges who turn up wearing metaphorical surgeon’s overalls,<br />

stethoscope and scalpel in hand ready to dissect every last sinew of <strong>the</strong> cadaver in <strong>the</strong><br />

bottle.<br />

Wine Without Walls by its very nature is all about alternative wine — less than 8% of <strong>the</strong><br />

world’s wine at most would qualify as a ‘Wine Without Metaphorical Wall’ around it. We<br />

celebrate this way of judging and thinking, and we actively welcome feedback both from<br />

<strong>the</strong> wine producers of course, and from those who sell <strong>the</strong>se wines or share <strong>the</strong>m with <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

respective family and friends. We see this way of growing and making wine as <strong>the</strong> future. It<br />

is a journey that we need to make as a species, too.<br />

Diversity breeds strength and gives space to alternative views and ways of doing things.<br />

The climate is changing. We are going to have to change our behavior and expectations<br />

accordingly.<br />

Despite predictions that <strong>the</strong> organic, natural and biodynamic wine-growing category would<br />

be nothing but a passing fad, it not only continues to grow, but is showing signs of increased<br />

maturity and coherence in terms of its organizational and communication capabilities.<br />

More space is being given to organic, natural and biodynamic wine producers in wine bars<br />

and restaurants, government monopolies and supermarket chain stores, and private cellars.<br />

The world biggest shop—Amazon—now owns one of <strong>the</strong> biggest purveyors of organic<br />

produce in Whole Foods. This reflects both a desire to drive margin from well-to-do, healthconscious<br />

(if not always environmentally friendly) consumers, and that <strong>the</strong> supply of such<br />

wines will continue to increase.<br />

The leading international wine trade fairs are also waking up to vinous greenery, not least of<br />

course Vinitaly, which continues to provide a dedicated and growing area to <strong>the</strong> category<br />

called Vinitalybio. This suggests that what not so long ago was considered ‘alternative’ at<br />

best and an unnecessary indulgence at worst is here to stay.<br />

Italy continues to be a global leader for organic, natural and biodynamic wine production.<br />

Its surface area of certified organic and biodynamic vineyard doubled between 2011 and<br />

2017 and continues to grow. Italian winegrowers, both conventional and organic, are getting<br />

toge<strong>the</strong>r at both local level—Montalcino, Panzano in Chianti, Colline Lucchesi in Tuscany—<br />

and regional level too—BioVenezia in Veneto, various initiatives in Sicily.<br />

Forming local discussion and action groups to collaborate more closely in finding individual<br />

solutions to universal challenges—<strong>the</strong> obvious one being climate change—makes sense.<br />

Distorted wea<strong>the</strong>r patterns create an increased risk to vineyard real estate via soil<br />

erosion and compaction caused by Amazonian force downpours for example. Warmer<br />

temperatures encourage insects spreading potentially deadly vine viruses. Dealing with<br />

issues at local level makes economic and environmental sense, and means wine growing<br />

and wine styling can be maintained more economically or adjusted more easily. Use of<br />

milk-based products, whose lactic bacteria help reduce or eliminate <strong>the</strong> use of copperbased<br />

vineyard sprays, is still very small-scale in Italy but is increasing. And <strong>the</strong> use of o<strong>the</strong>r<br />

effective micro-organisms via aerated compost teas for both vine and soil is also on <strong>the</strong><br />

rise. Creating colonies of <strong>the</strong> beneficial microbes you actively want on your vine leaves<br />

means <strong>the</strong>re is less or no space left for <strong>the</strong> pathogenic microbes you would ra<strong>the</strong>r avoid.<br />

This self-sufficient and biodiverse approach challenges <strong>the</strong> monoculture model, not just at<br />

<strong>the</strong> individual farm level, but at a global level too.<br />

Recent supranational corporate mergers mean <strong>the</strong> world’s six biggest pesticide companies<br />

have morphed into just three. Do not expect such efficiencies of scale to be in farmers’ or<br />

winegrowers’ interest. Less competition usually means higher prices for farmers and thus<br />

weakened communities, <strong>the</strong> added value being moved into <strong>the</strong> pockets of shareholders and<br />

board members in far-flung lands. Environmental sustainability, economic sustainability, and<br />

social sustainability go hand in hand. Fostering this should be Italian wine’s strategic goal.<br />

One of <strong>the</strong> key aspects <strong>the</strong> Wine Without Walls judges remarked upon was <strong>the</strong> consistency<br />

and quality of <strong>the</strong> wines overall, with half of all wines submitted gaining a 90-point score<br />

or higher.<br />

The judges had a mix of backgrounds: winemaker, importer, retailer, wine educator, and<br />

Master of Wine. Their stated aim was to score wines on <strong>the</strong>ir coherence and enjoyability,<br />
