Antonio Sanguineti, Caruso
(ka-ROO-zoh)

 

Tasting Notes: Quite simply one of the most interesting wines we have ever tried from Italia, Caruso is, to use an unusual descriptor, visionary. Antonio “Il Maestro” Sanguineti has brought together three of his closest friends from across Italia–Giuseppe Lonardi in Valpolicella (North), Alessandro Bocci in Toscana (Central), and Giuseppe Martorana in Sicilia (South), to make a single wine from the three major zones of Italia. Perhaps best described as a “SuperItalian,” it is a “baby Amarone” meets “baby SuperTuscan” meets Sicilian Nero d’Avola. Wow!
