\"Montefalco(June 2024) …<\/strong><\/em> It is always a mixed bag in this tasting – what I have learned is that wine is really about two things: the vintage and the winemaker: good wines can be made by good winemakers despite the year.<\/p>\n

In a good vintage, a good winemaker knows to stay out of the way, allow the fruit to express itself and only intervene when necessary.<\/p>\n

In a troublesome vintage, a good winemaker knows it’s his job to shepherd these wines through the trouble spots and with each vintage learns how to handle things now and also for the future.<\/p>\n

Bottom Line:<\/strong> Good wines can be made by good winemakers despite the year. And there are plenty of both making up this list.<\/em><\/p>\n
