"With over 800 grape varieties, Italy is a unique adventure for wine lovers. Food friendly and a great range of famous styles, this Millesima Discovery Wine Gift Set will make you feel like you are in a piazza sipping al fresco with a homemade bowl of pasta.

The Millesima team has curated the Italian Discovery Wine Gift Set with three bottles from the famed Tuscany wine region. Each bottle expresses the diversity of the iconic Sangiovese grape, showing how this variety can shine on its own or as a major player in a red wine blend. Sangiovese is known for its balanced nature of bold tannins and acidity. Dark fruit such as black cherry, blackberry and hint of herbaciousness is the fundamental structure of the variety, while each area within Italy permits different styles showing the wide range of this popular grape.

The Italian Discovery Wine Gift Set contains three unique bottles: Castello di Volpaia sits atop the Chianti hills producing lovely classic Italian wines through organic practices; Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona wines are consistently impeccable with an affordable price tag; and Poliziano is a family run winery passed down through three generations making beautiful wines that reflect their homeland.

Please note that for deliveries outside of New York City, gift boxes will be disassembled for safe and proper shipping of the wines. "

The 2012 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon artfully combines the classic elegance of the old world and the ripe fruit of California. It displays an opaque garnet color with a bouquet driven by fruity aromas of blackberry liqueur. It also offers the savory components of sage and molasses. These complex aromatics are complemented by sandalwood and nutmeg characteristics indicative of American oak aging. This is a well-structured wine with a compact and rich mid-palate buttressed by silky tannins and generous acidity. Given proper cellaring, this wine will provide drinking pleasure through 2037.

About the bottle tote: Inspired by their partnership with ReserveBar, Billykirk designed the 504 Bottle Carrier to offer a stylish way to bring a bottle from A to B.

American full-grain leather offers a resilient flexibility, allowing the carrier to age gracefully and develop a unique character as it does so. Designed to be lightweight and easy to transport, the minimal design is able to collapse nearly flat.

The wine finishes with silky tannins, cedar, and bramble flavors."

In 2003, Allen Shoup selected master winemakers from around the world whom he felt could showcase the pinnacle of what the noble varietals/blends, grown on the best sites in the Columbia Valley, could achieve. He partnered with each of them on their projects and gave them creative license and necessary resources to develop each project as they saw fit.

Every year each of the wines receives high ratings from the likes of Robert Parker, Jr., Jeb Dunnuck and other highly respected wine publications.

"Bordeaux is distinctly classified by the Left and Right Banks referring to which side of the Gironde River the vineyards are on. The Left Bank is known for its gravel and graphite soils perfect for Cabernet Sauvignon, while the Right Bank has more clay soils which the Merlot grape thrives in. The Cabernet Sauvignon driven wines are known for their longevity and ability to cellar, while the Merlot driven wines are more plump and supple.

The Millesima team has hand selected bottles for the Bordeaux Classic Wine Gift Set from both the Left and Right Banks. The Left Bank consists of wines from famous appellation such as Saint-Julien, Pauillac Saint-Estephe and Margaux. Saint-Julien wines are bold and express a complex bouquet. Pauillac, surely the most prestigious appellation of the Medoc, offers earthy reds with plenty of aromas and lively fruit. The Right Bank is home to the unique terroir of Pomerol where wines are distinguished by their velvelty and complex bouquet of cherries and fresh flowers.

The Bordeaux Classic Wine Gift Set contains three unique bottles: Chateau Fayat is the product of three historic estates merging to create diverse and expressive wines; Chateau Branaire-Ducru boasts unique soils making consistently balanced and dynamic wines; Chateau Batailley is one of the oldest and most influential estates in the Medoc region with consistent and definitive wines.

Please note that for deliveries outside of New York City, gift boxes will be disassembled for safe and proper shipping of the wines. "
