Sorelle Bronca “Particella 181”
VALDOBIADDENE PROSECCO SUPERIORE, ITALY | 2021

Lackner-Tinnacher, Morillon “Eckberg”
STYRIA, AUSTRIA | 2020
”Morillon or Chardonnay is well suited to the soil and climate of Styria, and in the hands of Katharina, it absolutely dazzles.”

Agricola Cirelli “Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo”

Cerasuolo sits delicately between rosés and full-blown reds, boasting a hue reminiscent of Cerasuolo’s English translation: cherry red.
Barrialto “Santa Brigida”
SANLÚCAR DE BARRAMEIDA, SPAIN | 2020
Barrialto's limited production - mere hundreds of bottles - reflects Rafa's meticulous craftsmanship and profound respect for Sanlúcar's winemaking heritage.

Tenuta La Viola "Il Colombarone"
ROMAGNA SANGIOVESE SUPERIORE, ITALY | 2019
While Brunello di Montalcino and Chianti Classico get most of the hype, the Sangiovese of Romagna can be every bit as complex and ageworthy.
