It's an Bodegas marqués de Murrieta Rioja castillo ygay gran reserva especial 2010, the best wine in the world. The awaited selection of the authoritative magazine decreed it W, the bible of wine enthusiasts around the world who religiously drink in its verdict every year to understand how the planetary world of wine works.
The Borgedas Marqués de Murrieta, a cellar that dates back to 1852 and which has profoundly marked the whole Rojas region with its avant-garde vision, was awarded "For its history, its quality, its call for commitment and vision" . And for the record, its cost is not stratospheric, it is between 130 and 140 euros, if not within everyone's reach at least within the reach of many.
You have to move to the States to find wine second classified. is the Aubert pinot noir Sonoma coast uv vineyard 2018. “Powerful and structured – this is the judgment of the Wine Spectator experts ranging from mineral richness to red fruit and spices. The brilliant finish displays impressive purity and sharpness of warm stone, silica and undergrowth. At its best between 2021 and 2026”. And even in this case it can be found, if it can be found, for 100 dollars.
Great Italian triumph for the coveted third place in the world selection. On the third podium was a Tuscan wine, San Filippo brunello di Montalcino le lucere 2015 by Roberto Giannelli. "An impressive red" was defined by the drafters of the Ranking, as is the impressive story of Roberto Giannelli, a Florentine entrepreneur who dealt with real estate brokerage.
Less than ten years ago they had asked him to put the San Filippo company on the market. Seeing her, falling in love with her and deciding to make her was all one.
Giannelli bought the company and devoted himself body and soul to its production of high quality wine, with the results now authoritatively noted by Wine Spectator. Rare example of perfect synthesis between winemaking tradition and modernity, to ensure a San Filippo which was originally placed on the market at 90 euros and which is now sold out in the company, you have to pay around 190-200 euros, (price after the award ) but it's worth it.
Great satisfaction in Montalcino for this remarkable statement. The president of the Brunello di Montalcino Consortium, Fabrizio Bindocci, interpreted it. “We are happy with this recognition – he said – because it will give an important hand to the whole denomination and we congratulate a company, San Filippo, which, as in our best tradition, has been pursuing total quality for some time. But we are also particularly proud of our 2015 vintage which has allowed us to limit the damage in this tragic year. It is a product – he added – which amazes for its perhaps unprecedented average quality, but which will have to share the scene with 2016, a vintage considered extraordinary even before being put on the market”.
Behind our Brunello was a wine from Napa Valley, the Mayacamas cabernet sauvignon mount veeder 2016.
We then return to Europe with the fifth classified a Domaine de la vieille julienne Châteauneuf-du-pape les trois sources of 2016, historical name, dates back to the seventeenth century, with ups and downs for which we touch 350 euros.
Sixth place for another USA wine, the Kistler chardonnay russian river valley vine hill vineyard 2017.
And we find at seventh place, in the world top ten, another excellent Italian wine Massolino Barolo 2016, a winery closely linked to Serralunga d'Alba and the tradition of the Langhe, a wine that is born and evolves in the purest classic style but which also finds the reason for its exceptional nature in its history.
The list of the top ten wines in the world closes: Bodega Piedra Negra Chacayes Los Chacayes 2015, Beaux Frères, Pinot Noir Ribbon Ridge The Beaux Frères Vineyard 2018 and Bollinger, Brut Champagne La Grande Année 2012.
