ONE TIME OFFER $79 (Retail Value $95) 108 bottles remaining and then it's gone forever: Corte dei Venti — The Cool Year That Changed the Tone. Not every Brunello arrives on a wave of heat and power. In 2018, cooler winds moved through Montalcino. Evenings fell gently over the vineyards. The grapes ripened slowly. Deliberately. The result? A Brunello of poise. Bright red cherry instead of jam. Rose petal instead of weight. Fresh acidity that promises decades of quiet evolution. It doesn’t thunder across the palate. It lingers. It converses. It remembers. Some collectors believe that when this vintage turns twenty… it will be the one everyone wishes they had tucked away. Balanced. Elegant. Almost northern in its refinement. Add a bottle of the 2018 Corte dei Venti Brunello — and experience the composed, age-worthy side of Tuscany. Because not all legends are born in heat. Some are shaped in the cool of evening.

Wines of Tuscany


Chianti. Montalcino. And the Origin of Wine Itself.
Three thousand years ago — before Rome, before Florence, before the Renaissance — a powerful civilization flourished in the hills of Tuscany.

They built cities of stone.
They traded across the Mediterranean.
They cultivated vines long before the modern world understood what wine could become.

And in doing so… they may have given us more than a beverage.

They may have given us the very word.

How did Tuscany shape not only wine culture — but the language of wine itself?

Why do the hills of Chianti and Montalcino still produce wines that feel timeless… almost ancestral?

And what does that mean for us today?

👉 On Wednesday, March 19 at 7pm ET, join me, Tony Margiotta, for a live Tuscan Wine Experience on Zoom.

Together, we’ll travel across Tuscany — glass by glass — exploring the wines that helped shape Western civilization and continue to define Italian identity.

This isn’t a tasting you rush through.
It’s a rediscovery of origin — of land, legacy, and lineage.


✅ The ancient civilization that laid the foundation for Tuscan wine
✅ The surprising linguistic roots connected to the word “wine”
✅ Why Sangiovese expresses power in Montalcino and elegance in Chianti
✅ How Tuscan wines became some of the most age-worthy in the world
✅ Four Tuscan wine & food pairings that reconnect you to Italy at home



We’ll taste four carefully selected wines from Tuscany — including wines from Chianti and Montalcino — wines that express not only terroir, but history written into the soil.

For Italian Americans, Tuscany is more than a postcard.

It is part of the cultural inheritance that shaped our families, our language, and our table.

Join us for a virtual hour of depth, storytelling, and connection as we uncover what Tuscany gave the world — and why it still matters.
