Mario Batali makes a few Italian wine recommendations to Fortune magazine. According to the chef/restaurateur, "wine doesn't have to come out all dusty and musty from some corkdork's cellar to be good." But it might have to cost you $775! He also makes suggestions on what to pair with each wine.
Splurges
- Bruno Giacosa, Barolo Rocche del Falletto, 2000, $775 for a magnum
- Dal Forno Romano, Amarone, 1999, $575
- Cerbaiona, Brunello di Montalcino, 1990, $239
Deals
- Montevertine, Le Pergole Torte, 2001, $90 - I'm not quite sure how $90 us considered a deal, but then again, this list appears in Fortune magazine, and $90 must be quite a steal for a CEO.
- Planeta, Syrah, 2000, $40
- Morellino Di Scansano, I Perazzi, 2003, $15 - Now that's more like it.
