Continuum
The Mondavis have been innovators in the Napa Valley for more than 100 years. A great winery in Napa, Continuum is the Mondavi family vision to produce world-class Cabernet as they have for decades. The Mondavis have a storied past in Napa. Cesare Mondavi brought the family to America, to wine, and to the Napa Valley.

Tim Mondavi, a virtuoso, from a young age came into the family business and blazed trails globally, developing wines of world-class quality. Now, he and his sister Marcia Mondavi Borger, along with their adult children, have created Continuum, They now produce a new wine, their ‘Sentium’ is a Sauvignon Blanc that is inspired by the Mondavi Fume Blanc.

MenoDodiciIGP: Borgo Tollena - Toscana Rosso IGT Scicchèria 2025
di Roberto Giuliani La Vernaccia è il vino simbolo di San Gimignano, giustissimo perché rappresenta la prima DOCG di un vino bianco italiano, caratteristico di quel territorio. Però si fanno anche vini rossi: San Gimignano DOC, Chianti Colli Senesi DOCG e vini IGT. Spesso sono molto buoni e di ottima bevibilità, ma schiacciati dai vicini Brunello di Montalcino, Chianti Classico e Nobile di Montepulciano. Il rosso Scicchèria, sangiovese e canaiolo, è semplicemente una goduria. Rubino bellissimo, naso di ciliegia e lampone, ma anche viola, melagrana; bocca succosa, fresca, pimpante, irresistibile! Prezzo medio web 10 euro

A Tour of Wine Grapes: Petit Verdot
Petit Verdot 🍷 Image by Urlula Brühl on Wikimedia Commons If you’ve ever had a Bordeaux blend, you’ve probably tasted Petit Verdot—even if you didn’t realize it. This bold, dark grape, long known as a blending agent in Bordeaux red wines, is now also a great varietal. Petit Verdot, pronounced “ pah-tee vur-doe, ” is an old grape. In fact, it’s believed to be older than Cabernet Sauvignon in its native region of Bordeaux, France. Its name translates to “little green, ” because it ripens much later than other varieties. It often remained green and unripened on the vine during the cool French autumns. For centuries, winemakers only grew a small amount of it, using just 1% to 2% of the grape to add color, structure, and tannin to their blends. Petit Verdot boasts some of the thickest skins in the wine world, resulting in wines that are deep in color. Aromas associated with Petit Verdot include blackberry, plum, along with floral notes and dried herbs. The flavors of Petit Verdot include b
