A publicação norte-americana Wine Enthusiast (WE) divulgou semana passada a sua tradicional lista dos TOP 100 vinhos do ano, onde um italiano da região de Chianti Rufina saiu.

Sem dúvida, o TOP 100 da Wine Enthusiast é mais democrático que o da Wine Spectator, já que esta última supervaloriza os rótulos norte-americanos.
