Spring at Endrizzi Vineyards<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

April offers a bevy of good wines from which to choose, but one wine clearly stands out to me and that is Endrizzi\u2019s 2011 Serpaiolo Maremma \u2013 this month\u2019s Premier Series Top Pick.\u00a0 The 2011 vintage posed some challenges in Chianti Classico and throughout much of Tuscany due to excessive heat, but Tuscany\u2019s cooler coastal areas such as Maremma escaped the heat\u2019s wrath and produced exceptional wines.\u00a0 And in many cases the region\u2019s producers turned out their finest wines to date.\u00a0 In Maremma, 2011 was a banner year for Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot as well as for region\u2019s Sangiovese, which is why the 2011 Serpaiolo (a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Sangiovese) offers exceptional depth, flavor, and structure and earns this month\u2019s Top Pick.\u00a0 It is a Super Tuscan to enjoy now and for the next 5 plus years.\u00a0 Enjoy!<\/p>\n
