$15.99 btl / $182.29 cs "Maurizio Marchetti is one of the lucky ones. He lives in a castello (small castle) on the Adriatic coast and, free from monetary concerns, makes small quantities of the wines he loves. He produces a mere 12 barrels of later harvest Verdicchio, an amazingly complex white. Full-bodied and lush, this is not a sweet wine. It is just a hair off-dry, with ripe fruit flavors of pear and melon, a touch of honey balanced by citrus fruit that retains beautiful acidity. Esquin orders this rarity early in the year, directly from the importer to ensure an adequate supply." - Arnie Millan

$39.99 btl / $455.89 cs "450 cases are produced annually of the Privilegia, a blend of 50-50% Cabernet Franc and Corvina (dried/raisinated). This is a rich, spicy wine, like an Amarone but less unctuous. The complex nose of dark fruits is slightly smoky but the full palate is awash with dense cherry/berry flavors, white pepper and baking spices. The finish lasts and the harmonious structure, backed by smooth tannins, should allow the wine to age another 7-10 years. The Privilegia was voted the Wine of the Year by the Associazione Italiana Sommeliers (Italian Sommelier Association)." Arnie Millan
