Chateau Montelena is one of Napa Valley’s oldest estate vineyards, but discovered new fame when its 1973 Chardonnay took first place in the 1976 Tasting of Paris.

Clos des Papes is one of Rhone Valley’s most venerable estates. The family has been making Chateauneuf-du-Pape for 300 years. The original vineyard was part of the papal estate inside a chateau.

Tenuta di Sesta is an historic estate that crafts award-winning Brunello di Montalcinos. Gambero Rosso notes that the family-run estate “is justly famous for classic interpretations” of the appellation wines. These wines are Tuscan stars.
