  (SERPICO Feudi Di San Gregorio) Serpico Dear Friends, Working an extra hour (or three) can pay off and while I was tempted to pack it in for the week hours ago, this deal began to percolate just before we closed and I finally have it set in stone.... After waiting 2-3 years, this wine has finally turned a corner that many thought improbable. It keeps getting better as it rests in the cellar and this is the right time to offer it (they should have waited to release it until now). Once acidic and lean, the 2003 Serpico is a testament to how wine can change dramatically given the right amount of cellar time. Due to limited quantities, that's all I will say (James Suckling was right on the money below - the 2003 Serpico needed time and the years have been very kind): THIS IS NOT AN AUCTION PARCEL OF UNKNOWN ORIGIN OR FROM THE GREY MARKET 2003 Feudi di San Gregorio "Serpico" IGT (Aglianico) Thank you, Jon Rimmerman Garagiste Seattle, WA Italy8988

  (SERPICO Feudi di SG) Serpico Dear Friends, I’m running at the moment so this will be brief - the price says it all. I must be honest, this wine has been downright perplexing. I’ve had bottles that were incredible and bottles that were one step above sandpaper mixed with Drano. I tried a bottle yesterday and it finally showed the potential that made this the highest rated wine of the year in 2006 by Daniel Thomases (98+pts). I’ve talked to the powers that be and they know the wine is tannic but they urge everyone to have patience with the Serpico - it needs at least another 5-8 years to come together. We’ll see... ...until then, this is another crazy price that is about the lowest I’ve ever seen on this wine. ONE SHIPMENT ONLY with perfect provenance directly from the source 2003 Feudi di San Gregorio “Serpico” Thank you, Jon Rimmerman Garagiste Seattle, WA Italy7430
