We had an unusually high level of interest from our membership in this month\u2019s Primary Collectors Series red wines, which necessitated us choosing two outstanding Italian wines for the same category: the 2008 Il Palazzino Bertinga and the 2010 Revello Barolo. Each expresses the essence of its respective region. The 2008 Bertinga hails from one of Tuscany\u2019s most renowned vineyards and producers, and it epitomizes the greatness of Cabernet, Merlot, and Petit Verdot in Tuscany. Revello\u2019s 2010 Barolo emanates from several choice vineyards in La Morra, Barolo\u2019s most renowned commune. Moreover, Revello\u2019s Barolo captures both the elegance and power of Barolo, and this is particularly true in the outstanding 2010 vintage. For these reasons, the 2008 Il Palazzino Bertinga and 2010 Revello Barolo share this month\u2019s Top Pick.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy!<br \/>\nDon<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.winemonthclub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Top-Pick-Jan-2015-Collectors-e1420664024921.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3181\" src=\"http:\/\/www.winemonthclub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Top-Pick-Jan-2015-Collectors-e1420664024921.jpg\" alt=\"Top-Pick-Jan-2015-Collectors\" width=\"595\" height=\"359\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.winemonthclub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Top-Pick-Jan-2015-Collectors-e1420664024921.jpg 595w, https:\/\/www.winemonthclub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Top-Pick-Jan-2015-Collectors-e1420664024921-300x181.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 595px) 100vw, 595px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whether it is Domaine Fournier\u2019s super premium 2012 Cuv\u00e9e Silex Sancerre or any number of the month\u2019s exceptional reds, all of January\u2019s Collectors Series features should please the most discerning of palates.
