Gavi del Comune di Gavi 2020
TASTING NOTES:
Let’s not split hairs, you’re going for a Gavi di Gavi and not just a Gavi.. so expect 2x the Gavi structure, right? Bright, clean, crisp but aromatic and easy to drink.

Characterized by a clear structure with an intense mineral taste, with fruity and spicy aromas.

Rivetto
Langhe Nebbiolo Terracotta 2018

This wine was born from the wish of Enrico Rivetto to rediscover an ancient way of vinification when blending different vintages was a necessity. Now the main purpose of crossing the time is the search for the balance. The result is a timeless wine.

Elena Fucci
Aglianico del Vulture Titolo 2018
TASTING NOTES:
Smoke leads to sandalwood and herb infused flavors of raspberry jam and green olives. A long finish promoted by volcanic soils and high altitude Aglianico vineyards offers the most complex varietal example from the region.
Tenuta Argentiera

Press:
James Suckling: 96-97
TASTING NOTES:
Deep ruby red color with a nose expressing complex cherry, plum, and spice tones on a backbone of leather, black pepper, and almonds.
