Fattoria La Vialla Casa Conforto Chianti Superiore 2020

The LARGEST organic and biodynamic farm in Europe – one sexy, 94 POINT Chianti Superiore…all for less than $20. Take THAT, Monday!!!

Dang! Dang, dang, dang… I simply can’t wait for you to taste this EPIC Fattoria La Vialla Chianti! Mind-blowingly epic Tuscan ambrosia of the highest order. This is like being in Madrid, on the same day that Carlos Alcaraz wins a second consecutive title at Wimbledon, and then watching the Spanish men’s national team win the Euro Cup on the very same day! Oh, wait…that totally happened!!!

BOOM! Fattoria La Vialla Casa Conforto is BACK! You almost NEVER see this beauty stateside – maybe in some high-end Italian Trattoria run by Danny Meyer or something, but man, this is RARE! Traditional style, old-school depth, full of finesse, high-toned complexity, warmth, and high-level crushability. THIS PRICE!! It baffles. The winery is an oasis some 15 minutes from the magical village of Arezzo and the wonderful attention put into this wine (sangiovese mostly, with a bit of the local canaiolo) is utterly mind-expanding with black tea, blood orange, cherries, ultra-fresh and mouth-watering, black plums, iron, violets and roses, and that signature dash of earthiness hinting at black truffles. SERIOUS stuff!! Light on its feet, too, fresh and pumping on all cylinders. I downed a bottle of this with a heaping bowl of bolognese last night and…WOW!! The perfect pairing. This wine just tastes of Tuscany...the rolling hills, the fertile soils, the warm, sun-baked grass. Savor every sip of this rare beauty at the best price this side of Italy!

What else is there to say??! 94 POINTS? Check. Under $20? Check. BEST PRICE in the USA? Check. This wine needs to be consumed with heart-bursting joy and rays of Tuscan sunshine beaming through your soul...NOW. NOW! LOAD UP while we got it!

** Want to give a shout-out to Ashlynn, an amazing server at Calistoga’s favorite breakfast joint, Cafe Sarafornia. Her kindness and genuine caring for an elderly woman having a tough morning was everything I needed to see – restoring some much-needed faith in humanity. Kindness doesn’t cost a thing…pay it forward today. **
