New & Exclusive: 
ALESSANDRIA Barolo!
VINTAGES is excited to offer these superb 2011 Barolos from Alessandria! A warmer vintage, the 2011's are open, radiant, and very expressive already, enjoyable in the near-term, and have much to offer fans of Barolo and Alessandria.

2011 ALESSANDRIA Barolo Monvigliero $65
Signature vineyard of the estate in Verduno. Crushed flowers, spices, orange peel, dried red cherries and mint are all laced together in the Barolo Monvigliero.

2011 ALESSANDRIA Barolo Gramolere $60
From 50 year-old vines in one of Monforte's top sites, Gramolere bursts from the glass with dark cherries, plums, graphite, cloves and menthol. Violets, lavender, smoke and licorice meld into the explosive finish.

2011 ALESSANDRIA Barolo San Lorenzo $55
A single-vineyard cru in Verduno offers dark cherries, plums, tar, licorice and incense blossom on an elegant, yet powerful frame. 

Stay tuned for upcoming tastings of these Alessandria wines!

 
2012 MONTERVERTINE Montevertine $55 ($120 1.5L)
In every vintage, challenging or textbook, Martino Manetti at Montevertine delivers a gorgeous, pure sangiovese. "The 2012 Montevertine is the perfect choice ...lovely depth and freshness ... red cherry, plum, tobacco, wild flowers and mint open up in a soft Montevertine that should give up its charms relatively early." -- Vinous

 
Grower Champagne Special:
NV MARIE COURTIN Extra Brut "Resonance" $55
Save 20% on six-bottle case purchase = $44 ea
Carolyn and Eric's "house" champagne can now be your house champagne.
This extra brut bubbly has earned place of pride on our table over the past several months. We are pleased to offer a special discount on 6 bottles so you can try it, too. 100% pinot noir, non-dose. "The NV Resonance is quite attractive. There is a lovely sense of energy and tension in the glass. White peach, savory herbs, crushed flowers and chalk all pulse with notable vibrancy." -- Vinous
 
Call 978-369-2545, ext 1 or 617-484-4560 to order. 


 
2013 JEAN-MARC PILLOT Saint Romain Blanc "La Perriere" $40
Great value in village-level white Burgundy. "Chalky aromas of lemon ice and crushed stone. Juicy, supple and sweet, with a dominant flavor of lemon curd. Nicely silky and dense ... finishes smooth and persistent." -- Vinous


 
ITALY'S ICONIC WHITE
2012 EDOARDO VALENTINI Trebbiano d'Abruzzo $125 
(qty. discounts apply)
Valentini is one of Italy's cult producers, known to only a very few. VINTAGES is very pleased to offer this exceptional wine to our customers; since it's been out of the MA market for many years, our last offer was for the 2002 vintage, nearly a decade ago.

"Undoubtedly one of Italy's top dozen wine estates in terms of sheer quality, Valentini only produces 3 wines, all of which are proven to be especially age-worthy. 
Run today by Francesco Paolo Valentini, the estate's Trebbiano d'Abruzzo may well be Italy's best white wine, and examples from the 1950's are still in fine form today." --Vinous


 
2013 ALBINO ROCCA Nebbiolo d'Alba Reg. $30; Now $25!
Nebbiolo in name; Barbaresco in character: now at a new, lower price! Always a great value, this "baby Barbaresco" is a no-brainer at this price.
"Layered and expressive with dried flowers, tobacco and licorice, this nebbiolo is a stand-out for immediate enjoyment and great personality. Quite frankly, Rocca's Nebbiolo d'Alba compares favorably with a number of Barolos and Barbarescos." -- Vinous

 

What?? You missed the Spanish Wine Extravaganza last weekend? 
A new generation is pushing the envelope of rediscovered terroir,
old-vines, old barrels, & natural yeasts; look for less oak, less alcohol, more finesse and precision of aroma and flavor! It's revolutionary! 
Six regions, six wineries, NINE different RED wines!

All wines are still available in both VINTAGES locations. 
 


 
AMAZING Savings on AMARONE!
2008 TOMMASO BUSSOLA 
Amarone Classico $65
Save 30% on 12 bottles = $45.50 ea! 
Save 20% on 6 bottles = $52 ea 
Deep, powerful, rich, full-bodied, voluptuous red by the masterful Tomasso Bussola, drinking beautifully now. Perfect fireside wine in cold-weather months. Our call? Go long on Bussola Amarone save a bundle, and be deliciously prepared for the long winter ahead.

Call 978-369-2545 or 617-484-4560 or email Eric.


 

2013 DOM. TEMPIER Bandol Rouge $50
75% Mourv�dre, 14% Grenache, 9% Cinsault, 2% Carignan. Organic.
"Buckle up for another vintage of pure, raw, mighty Bandol. Tempier's rouge remains a classic representation of the appellation, with chewy tannins framing profound black fruit, along with notes of animal and baked earth that unabashedly contribute to its formidable complexity. The Mourv�dre grape, which comprises three-quarters of the blend, doesn't give a damn about what you think. Accordingly, serve this wine at a table where you eat with your hands and won't be chastised for cracking a dirty joke." -Anthony Lynch



 

NEW Arrivals for Fall:

Enjoy these two very beautiful, yet completely different expressions of the cru vineyard "Gallina." They were both "winners" at the taste-off last week!

 

NEW! 2011 CANTINA del PINO Barbaresco "Gallina" $60

For fans of the estate, 2011 marks the debut of Renato Vacca's Barbaresco "Gallina." Gallina is an historic grand cru vineyard in the Neive township. Characterized by elegance and finesse, with aromas of wild berry, blue flower, licorice, asian spice and flinty mineral, this captivating Barbaresco will offer years of drinking pleasure ahead. Highly recommended by our wine director!

 

NEW! 2011 ODDERO Barbaresco "Gallina" $50

A favorite single-vineyard bottling from Oddero. Strawberries, floral notes, autumn leaves, fennel and spice notes are layered in a tasty textured palate. Superb!
