La Della Rose, Primero Rose Extra-Dry $21
Fine and persistent pearls. Elegant perfume thanks to delicate red fruits and flower hints. Fragrant and harmonic palate with long lasting freshness.
Ai Gialli, Pinot Grigio Rosado $21
A nice liveliness and moderate fruit levels. Fruit and a hint of elderflower on the nose - oodles of dry, slightly grassy notes.
Manfredi, Gavi $24
Lovely balanced white, with bags of tropical and stone fruit flavor. The palate is generously fruity, with an opulent mouthfeel and weight, but with a lively crisp and fresh acidity so typical of the great wines of Gavi. Delicious.
Nicchiaia, Chianti Classico $26
Vibrant color purple good clarity. with a scent that is very reminiscent of red fruit jam, such as blackberry, strawberry and raspberry. In the mouth it is round and soft with full and fruity finish.
Filetto, Chianti Superiore $38
Underbrush and iris aromas lead the nose along with a whiff of used leather. The straightforward, accessible palate offers ripe Maraschino cherry, orange rind and a hint of mocha alongside pliant tannins.
Leone, Montepulciano D’Abruzzo $26
Fruity, easygoing, medium-body red. No oak! Fruity, smooth, lively and balanced, no wonder we love this easygoing, versatile red. A crowd-pleasing wine from a co-op of farmers.
Manfredi, Barolo 2015 $47
Earthy aromas of leather, scorched earth and dark-skinned berries lead the nose. The straightforward palate offers dried black cherry, tobacco and vanilla alongside assertive, rather astringent tannins
Leone, Amarone Valpolicella $58
The Terre di Leone's Amarone della Valpolicella Classico is made with a blend of 40% Corvina, 30% Corvinone, 20% Rondinella, 10% Oseleta grapes. Intense garnet red color; intense, spicy and delicate aromas; the tasting shows complexity, a full-bodied wine, persistent with velvety fruity notes.
