THE US PORTAL "INTERNATIONAL WINE REPORT", CONSIDERING REPORTAGE AND TASTING NOTES, RANKED THE BEST WINES ON THE MARKET: "TOP 100 WINES OF 2014". MANY ITALIAN WINES AND THE TENUTA DELLE TERRE NERE PREPHYLLOXERA 2012 IS NUMBER ONE

The US portal "International Wine Report (www.internationalwinereport.com), has been ranking the best wines on the market, considering wine reportages and tasting notes, since 2011, based on three criteria: quality expressed in cents; "excitement", i.e., all those factors that affect the producer, yearly challenges and the vintage area wine comes from and the quality / price ratio. The number one wine in the "Top 100 Wines of 2014", is Italian, the Sicilian Prephylloxera 2012 Tenuta delle Terre Nere, ahead of Cabernet Sauvignon, Kronos Vineyard 2011 Corison (Napa Valley, California) and Chardonnay Bentrock Vineyard 2012 Sandhi (Sta. Rita Hills, California).
Of course, France and Italy are the most represented countries in the standings (Italy leads in the top 10), respectively with 33 and 34 labels, ahead of the US, at 22. There are one, two or three wines from Portugal, Argentina, Chile, Spain, Australia, South Africa, Germany and Austria. Scrolling down the positions, at the foot of the podium, number 4, there is another Italian wine, Vietti Barolo Lazzarito 2010, ahead of the Rosso Toscana 2011 Tenuta di Trinoro at number 5. Another Californian wine is at number 6, Pinot Noir L'Esperance 2012 Soliste, followed by Brunello di Montalcino 2009 Cerbaiola of Salvioni at number 7. Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon 2012 Toe Kenward (Napa Valley) is at number 8 and rounding out the top ten, the first French wine in the standings, Champagne Fût de Chêne Aÿ Grand Cru Brut Henri Giraud (number 9) and at number 10, the Austrian Riesling Reserve 2009 Nikolaihof Steiner Hund.
