Long Term Pre-arrival sales ensure you’re getting the best possible price and that you have also secured the product before it hits the normal retail supply chain. The lead time for Pre-arrival goods is generally 4–8 months, sometimes longer based on supply chain and the logistics of transporting goods overseas. The expectation, from our team, is to communicate to the customer the location of their purchase every step of the way.
This product is offered as a full case purchase option, minimum order quantities may be applicable. When available, multiple case options will be presented. If you are purchasing a Pre-Arrival item you must order a solid case.

Made with Magliocco grapes from the Tenuta Rosaneti, the Librandi 2023 Megonio reveals a pretty bouquet with pressed rose, tart berry and a dusty note of rock candy or watermelon Jolly Ranchers. I love the effect with that vein of sweetness that cuts through the bouquet. There is a wild side with bramble and black olive. This is the revamped version of the estate’s Magno Megonio, now with a shorter name. As a matter of housekeeping, I will note that my sample is identified as 2023 on the back label and 2022 on the front, but I am going with 2023 since that is the current vintage on the market.
There are few countries in the world with a viticultural history as long or as illustrious as that claimed by Italy. Grapes were first being grown and cultivated on Italian soil several thousand years ago by the Greeks and the Pheonicians, who named Italy 'Oenotria' – the land of wines – so impressed were they with the climate and the suitability of the soil for wine production. Of course, it was the rise of the Roman Empire which had the most lasting influence on wine production in Italy, and their influence can still be felt today, as much of the riches of the empire came about through their enthusiasm for producing wines and exporting it to neighbouring countries. Since those times, a vast amount of Italian land has remained primarily for vine cultivation, and thousands of wineries can be found throughout the entire length and breadth of this beautiful country, drenched in Mediterranean sunshine and benefiting from the excellent fertile soils found there. Italy remains very much a 'land of wines', and one could not imagine this country, its landscape and culture, without it.

Winery Notes
Ruby-red in color, aromas of plums and black fruits complement undertones of pepper, tobacco, licorice, and chocolate. On the palate, zesty acidity and velvety tannins make for an exquisite experience with this indigenous varietal.
