Incredibly aromatic dry white from Calabria. The wine displays a zippy acidity, mineral note, and clean crisp texture. Indigenous yeast, 6 months on the lees.

Review is on the previous vintage.

Mellow, rounded and soft on the palate, lightly cidery with floral and herbal notes. Nutty with an appealing lemon bite on the aftertaste

Toast to love! With Cavicchioli 1928’s Valentine’s Day Limited Edition Prosecco bottle

Cavicchioli Prosecco ‘Love’ DOC Extra Dry Limited Edition (NV) should be enjoyed as an aperitif; particularly suitable for appetizers, delicate first courses and fish-based dishes. Serving temperature: chilled to 40°F.

Made from 100% Sangiovese grown in the Ramitello and Martarosa vineyards and handharvested
in October, this wine is aged in stainless steel and large oak barrels for six months
to achieve greater smoothness and softness while preserving the supple fruit-forward
characteristics of Sangiovese.

Bright red in color, aromas of violets and red berries complement undertones of leather and
anise. On the palate, this wine is dry and mellow with smooth tannins that make for a crowdpleasing,
easy-to-drink red wine.

Serra Sanguigna is the name of a prime zone in the interior of the Ciro appellation that is not only particularly beautiful but is responsible for producing classic wines of the appellation. The hillside vineyards are planted to a mix of Gaglioppo, Malvasia Nera and Greco Nero and from there, on a clear day, one can see the entire Gulf of Taranto to the north and the Capocolonna promontory to the south. The “Serra Sanguigna” is generally composed of 70% Gaglioppo, 15% Malvasia Nera and 15% Greco Nero. It is the most rustic wine of the estate marked by a powerful plum-infused fruit, robust in weight, deep ruby in color and surprisingly lithe on the palate.

This delicious red is the sweeter side of Lambrusco.

For those who like their reds on the sweet side, this fruit-filled treat is just the thing. Lots of juicy red berries that are hard to resist. You could go ahead and put a chill on this and enjoy it out in the sun, or take it along to your next barbecue. Heck, take it anywhere. This is definitely party wine; no thinking required, just lots of luscious sweet grapes. - PJ

Off Dry sparkling red.
Fabio Lini's artisanal approach to sparkling wine production, their bright red fruit and berry
flavors are balanced by juicy minerality. Their clean but lingering finish makes them an ideal
pairing for a wide variety of cuisines.

Deep garnet-red in the glass, a brooding melding of red and black fruits and loamy earth. Scents of sappy black cherry, cassis, mulberry, saddle leather, dark spice, and turned earth carry over to a taught, full-bodied palate with powerful structure coming from 40-50 days' fermentation with skins. Riserva level aging (1 yr in stainless steel, 2 years in large oak barrels. All grapes are harvested manually with no fining or filtration. The Bea family's history in the Montefalco area dates to the 1500s, but only in the last 20 years or so have the wines blown up on the international stage. The tiny estate is the classic Italian fattoria, producing wine, raising farm animals for trade and home consumption, and working the land to produce olives, fruits, and vegetables. To this day, the Bea family raises and produces much of what they consume on a daily basis. The entire property encompasses 15 hectares: 5 of which are dedicated to the vineyards, 2 to olives, and the remainder to fruits, vegetables, and grains that are grown.

A light-bodied white, offering nectarine and clementine fruit flavors that are bright and juicy, with pretty cherry blossom, sliced almond and pickled ginger accents. Chalk-tinged finish. Drink now.

This dry Italian white is a great example of what Pecorino can achieve. A straw-yellow color with a subtle toasty element and lovely minerality on the back end. This has an elegantly floral bouquet with a touch of jasmine that is quite inviting. The racy acidity holds throughout keeping it fresh and bright. Hard to beat at this price!

This family-run estate is situated in Castel di Lama in the Ascoli Piceno region, in southernmost Marche, with vineyard holdings (45 ha) straddling the Abruzzo line. The main vineyard, in Offida, is hilly (280m-350m), with eastern exposure and a loose clay soil. First planted in the 1950s, the winery is managed today by proprietor/winemaker Quinto Fausti and his son Alighiero. The Offida DOC is Pecorino's key appellation – it is the only DOC-level appellation that allows varietal wines from the grape.

Tenuta De Angelis is one of a handful of Italian wineries that have gone through the laborsome process of getting their Organic certification. All wines are fermented with native yeasts and sulfur is at a minimum.
