Item Description

This vertical consists of 24 aged rare bottles of Barbarescos and Barolos from some of the best producers in Piedmont, and Brunellos and Super Tuscans (Italian Cabernet blends) from some of the best producers in Tuscany.

The vertical features four Gaja, Barolos and Barbarescos; seven Giacosa, Barolos and Barbarescos (including four specially red-labeled [almost impossible to find] reservas); and a handful of the highest rated Brunellos and Super Tuscans Tuscany has ever pro­duced, including the legendary 1990 Sassicaia Italian Cabernet blend rated 98.

This is a rare opportunity to own, drink, and share some of the finest and rarest Barbarescos, Barolos, Brunellos, and Super Tuscans Italy has ever produced, and be hosted by Dennis and Diane Rawlinson for a fabulous dinner for two groups of eight at their home. Mark Kline Catering will prepare a special menu to reflect and enhance the beauty of these Italian Wines, and don’t be surprised if Dennis and Diane intro­duce some additional wines from their cellar at dinner!

This lot will be sold as a table of eight people, up to two tables.

All of these wines have been kept since purchase in a temperature-controlled wine cellar at 55°.

You will enjoy the following wines (Robert M. Parker Jr.’s Wine Advocate or the Wine Spectator’s ratings on a 100-point scale are set forth in parentheses).
