Ratti Battaglione Barbera d’Asti DOCG V18 750ML

Intense red color. Fragrance of ripe fruit against a spice background. Full flavored, pleasant and elegant, with good persistence. It’s a rich and structured wine, also suited to medium aging. A wine for first courses and red meats. Renato Ratti founded his winery in 1965 and was the first to map the region of Barolo, paving the way for the commercial idea of terroir in Italy. After Renato’s death in 1988, his son Pietro has carried on his father’s legacy, Ratti's Barbera d'Asti is the winery's most accessible and versatile wine. A cold and rainy spring replenished the water resources in the soil. A warm and sunny summer with significant daily diurnal range gave ideal conditions for fruit development. Harvest occurred in late September.

Allegrini Palazzo della Torre Veronese IGT V21 750ML

Allegrini’s Palazzo della Torre wine comes from the eponymous cru in the Valpolicella Classico subzone of Fumane, adjacent to the Renaissance-era Villa della Torre, where Allegrini hosts hospitality and events. About 30% of this wine undergoes the appassimento process; in this way it is similar to a Ripasso wine, but distinct in that no re-fermentation takes place. Rather than add “fresh” wine to leftover grape must - as is traditional - Allegrini blends a finished appassimento wine (in effect, an Amarone) with a finished "fresh" wine. A small percentage of Sangioveto - a local clone of Sangiovese - adds lift. The result is a broad, round, and versatile expression of the region and a calling card expression of the estate

Allegrini La Grola Veneto IGT V15 750ML

The 2015 La Grola IGT is a deep ruby red with an expansive, alluring bouquet and elegant, harmonious palate. Fruit notes of ripe plum and wild berries blend with hints of coffee, backed by firm tannins. Full-bodied and intense while maintaining its finesse, the wine is made from Corvina Veronese and Oseleta grapes grown on terraces. The high plant density and the resulting low yields add to the wine’s unique concentration. Aging potential is 10-15 years.

Argiano Solengo Toscana IGT V18 750ML

This 2018 Argiano Solengo Toscana IGT is a balanced and harmonious Solengo with a nose of spice and berries. It is velvety on the palate with great structure and a long finish. VINIFICATION: Varieties were fermented separately, with about 20 days on the skins. Malolactic fermentation occurred naturally in cement tanks. VINTAGE: The 2018 vintage began with a cold winter followed by a mild spring without too much rain. The summer was characterized by heavy rains at the end of June and a very warm August, but the season ended favorably with large diurnal shifts that allowed for optimal maturation.

Argiano Brunello di Montalcino DOCG V15 750ML

Argiano’s Brunello di Montalcino is distinguished by its harmonious depth, elegance and length.

On the well-structured palate, juicy notes of cherry, plum and blackberry blend with hints of soft leather and licorice. Medium-bodied, this Brunello has fine, soft tannins, refreshing acidity and a persistent, lingering finish.
