From the excellent 2020 vintage, this deeply coloured Crozes exudes charming field berry scents enhanced by smoky and licorice hints. Medium bodied, quite supple, velvety and elegant, with good length. Soft acidity assures balance and freshness. This (already) enjoyable red displays ripe tannins for short term ageing (3 to 5 years). A great match with grilled veal or porc. Enjoy!
Obviously from the Alvarinho grape, this lovely white is a great example of high quality Vinho Verde! Charming fruity nose displaying citrus, peach and apple.

Try with fried calamari or grilled shrimp. Enjoy!
A deeply coloured organic red from the Lagrein varietal (a cousin of the well known Teroldego), from the northern region of Alto Adige. The nose exudes lovely field berry scents with subtle smoky, spicy hints. A fresh, charming, elegant and balanced medium bodied red. From perfectly ripe fruit with refreshing acidity, this easy drinking rosso is quite reminiscent of high quality Loire Cabernet Franc. Good aging potential : 3 to 5 years. A few minutes (30) in a decanter will enhance its lovely nose. Try with Italian sausage and grilled veggies pasta, should match perfectly. Enjoy!
This surprising blend dominated by Merlot with typical Piemonte varietals (Nebbiolo, Dolcetto and Barbera) displays a charming juvenile fruity character. Dark plum, blackberry and cherry, in this light, fresh and well balanced everyday red. Try this tasty rosso with your favorite Italian sausage and grilled veggies pizza. Don’t miss this great value red! Enjoy!
