New Cellar - A Journey Through Italy & Spain

Today at Flickinger Wines we would like to showcase a recently acquired cellar of wines solely from Italy and Spain.

Italy and Spain have long defined the essence of Old World wine—regions steeped in history, tradition, and the artistry of terroir. Today, we are thrilled to offer a collection that captures the very best of both.

From Italy, discover the elegance of Piedmont with Nebbiolo’s haunting aromatics and structure, or the supple richness of Tuscan Sangiovese, where rolling hills and sun-soaked vineyards impart depth and finesse. Venture south to Sicily, where volcanic soils give wines an energy and minerality found nowhere else in the world. Each bottle tells a story of place, crafted with centuries of winemaking wisdom.

Across the border in Spain, Rioja delivers its signature blend of spice and silk, marrying tradition with modern precision. Ribera del Duero brings darker, more powerful expressions, with Tempranillo showing strength and complexity. For something truly distinctive, explore Priorat, where old-vine Garnacha and Carignan thrive on rugged slate soils, yielding wines of profound intensity and elegance.

This curated selection represents the beating heart of Mediterranean wine culture: generous, soulful, and made to be shared. Whether you’re building your cellar, seeking perfect pairings for autumn meals, or simply enjoying the pure pleasure of a great glass, these wines are essential.

The following are the wines remaining from the offer sent on Thursday, September 18, 2025. Please enter your desired quantities and click the 'Add' button.

Cavallotto	2016	Barolo Riserva Bricco Boschis Vigna San Giuseppe (1.5 L)	$395	1
	VM 95+ (2/2022): The 2016 Barolo Riserva Bricco Boschis Vigna San Giuseppe is a powerhouse. Huge swaths of tannin wrap around a core of dark fruit in a brooding, almost somber Barolo that demands patience. Hints of licorice, spice, leather, menthol, incense and black cherry fruit begin to emerge with time in the glass. I won’t be surprised if the 2016 turns out even better than this note suggests. There is a ton of potential here. I find the combination of power and translucent energy both evocative and quite promising. Antonio Galloni.
Elio Grasso	2016	Barolo Runcot Riserva (1.5 L) ETA 90-120 Days; No cancellations or returns. This item may be subject to tariffs.	$571.99	2
	VM 100 (1/2025): The 2016 Barolo Riserva Rüncot is every bit as magical as it has always been. Deep, layered and explosive, the 2016 dazzles from start to finish. It possesses remarkable textural depth and mind-blowing balance. Even so, it has shut down considerably since I first tasted it. Rüncot is a wine that typically needs time to be at its very finest. That is especially true for the 2016. (Drink between 2024-2036). Antonio Galloni.   JD 99+ (5/2024): The ripe ruby-colored 2016 Barolo Riserva Runcot was raised for 48 months in entirely new French barriques, but the oak spice is surprisingly well-integrated. Boasting noes of baked red cherries, polished leather, savory sweet tobacco, menthol, and cigar box, it offers a plush a rounded texture on the palate, with a nicely balanced, salty, mouthwatering feel, a ripe core, and its polished oak spice perfume lasting on the finish. It’s going to drink well over the next several decades. This is a profound wine that I wish I had in my cellar. (Drink between 2024-2044). Audrey Frick.   WA 94 (4/2024): The Elio Grasso 2016 Barolo Riserva Rüncot is intense and powerful. However, there are a number of tertiary notes, some veering all the way to porcino mushroom and wood pile, but you also get threads of ripe black cherry, plum and even some dried prune. You can't escape a note of painters' studio with linseed oil. Bitter cacao or rhubarb also appear. This is an excellent example of an aged Barolo Riserva, but ultimately, you'll get more pleasure drinking this in the medium term without having to age it. She's ready to go.
Fattoria di Felsina	2015	Berardenga Chianti Clasico Gran Selezione Colonia	$119	1
	VM 96 (2/2019): The 2015 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Colonia is the richest and most overt of Fèlsina's three top Sangioveses (the other two being Rancia and Fontalloro). Dark and explosive in the glass, the 2015 Colonia possesses layers of super-ripe dense fruit to match its decidedly virile, muscular personality. As always, Colonia has a stronger French oak imprint than the other wines in the range, but the oak is better balanced today than it was in the first few years. The 2015 is an impressive Colonia. (Drink between 2025-2045). Antonio Galloni.
	2013	Berardenga Chianti Classico Riserva Rancia (1.5 L)	$115	4
	VM 96 (1/2018): A huge, vibrant wine, the 2013 Chianti Classico Riserva Rancia will need at least a few years in bottle to be approachable and much more than that to be at its best. Huge swaths of tannin give the wine its energy and feel. The essence of Sangiovese from Castelnuovo Berardenga comes through loud and clear. Readers should expect an especially virile, potent Rancia in 2013. Antonio Galloni.
Giuseppe E Figlio Mascarello	2019	Barolo Villero Lightly Bin-Soiled Label	$165	1
	JD 96 (5/2024): Spicy, with a very noble feel, the 2019 Barolo Villero is a pale ruby hue and offers upfront aromas of candied orange peel, ripe raspberries, and red cherry, as well as a hint of rustic wild herbs, with darker undercurrents of violets, black fruit, pine sap, and truffle coming through. Medium-bodied and powerfully structured, with taut tannins and bright acidity, it's mouthwatering and sanguine with salty earth and mineral backbone. It demands some time in the cellar and will drink at its best 2026-2056. Audrey Frick.   WA 94 (1/2025): Showing dark fruit, crushed stone and spiciness with cumin, aniseed and black pepper, the Giuseppe Mascarello 2019 Barolo Villero shows good intensity and dark fruit. Its overall mouthfeel and consistency are slightly thinner on the mid-palate, and the tannins feel resolved to offer a silky finish and good freshness.
