Orazio's Italian Picks: Sassicaia, Boroli, Timorasso, and Fèlsina Back in Stock

The 2023 Sassicaia earned 100 points from Wine Advocate. It is the finest vintage from this estate in years — and we are in the final round of pre-orders. That would be enough for one newsletter. But this week we also have three 94-point Barolo at prices only K&L customers see, a new Direct Import from Piedmont that I consider one of the most exciting discoveries I have made this year, and Fèlsina back in stock at market low after a long absence. Italy is delivering right now. I would not wait on any of this.

The 2023 Sassicaia earned 100 points from Wine Advocate and 98 from Decanter. More importantly—it is one of the finest vintages I have tasted from this estate in years. What makes it unusual: Sassicaia is famously closed in youth. The 2023, however, is generous and aromatic from the first pour, yet the structure is all there. Early pleasure and long-term power in the same bottle is rare here. Yields were down 20% after a brutal growing season. Supply is limited. This is the final round of pre-orders. $284.99 · 100 WA · 98 Decanter · Pre-Arrival · Est. delivery 06/15/2026. Pre-order 2023 Sassicaia . Pre-order 6-Pack in OWC

These three single-vineyard 2021 Barolo are 94 points across the board. We are not publishing the price online. Click each to see what we're offering. If you want to understand what makes 2021 such a special vintage for Barolo, start here. Boroli has quietly become one of the most exciting producers in Castiglione Falletto—and these three single-vineyard wines are the proof. A decade ago, Boroli made a decisive return to traditional winemaking and large oak casks. That decision has completely unlocked the soul of their vineyards. The new enologist, Cristiano Garella, is taking things even further. What you find in these bottles is exactly what I am always hunting for: nervous tension, saline precision, and a deep connection to the earth. Three crus. Three distinct expressions of Castiglione Falletto. One exclusive price that you will not find anywhere else. Click each wine to see our insider pricing.

The Colli Tortonesi is one of Piedmont's most exciting emerging regions—and Vigneti Repetto is why. Timorasso (the "White Barolo") and serious Barbera, brought in directly so we can offer prices unavailable anywhere else nationally. Read more On The Trail.

One of Chianti Classico's benchmark producers is back—and we have market-low pricing across the full range, from everyday Colli Senesi to Gran Selezione and beyond.

Three producers. Three distinct regions. All making the case that Italian white wine is having a moment.

Planeta is one of the great names in Sicilian wine — a producer that almost single-handedly introduced the world to what this island is capable of. But I want to be honest with you: the Planeta I am most excited about today is not the one you may remember. This is a producer in full evolution. Across their operations — from the chalky coastal soils of Menfi to the jet-black ash of Mount Etna's northern slopes — Planeta has shed the rich, heavily-wooded style that defined their early reputation and replaced it with something far more interesting: tension, volcanic energy, and a fierce connection to the land. These are not polite, commercial wines. They are alive. And right now, we have them at market low prices.

The K&L Discovery Series is how we bring benchmark Italian appellations to every customer—Brunello, Barolo, Nobile, Super Tuscan—at prices that make these wines accessible.

These don't fit neatly into a category. They're just genuinely great bottles that our team keeps recommending.
