Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2011
A true Montalcino classic and a sure bet from the appellation, This 100% Sangiovese has a charming nose (violet, vanilla, forest fruit) and is warm on the palate. Its lovely chiseled structure offers a good potential for cellaring, but it can also be consumed now.

A true terroir wine from one of the greatest Italian names. This Gran Selezione (Chianti’s most selective category) is both faithful to its 100% Sangiovese origins and its specific soil that give it an elegant maturity and aromatic persistence.
CHIARA BOSCHIS
Barolo DOCG "Via Nuova" 2009
Tailor-made in Barolo. Respecting the environment and the terroir through working the vineyard manually, the wines from this estate come from a real passion. This Via Nuova 2009 is 100% Nebbiolo. It stands out with its intense nose of dried flower, spice and almond aromas, and has a velvety texture.
CONTERNO FANTINO
Barbera d'Alba DOC "Vignota" 2016
Indulgence from the foot of the Alps with the use of biological vineyard practices, manual-worked vineyards, fermentation with indigenous yeast, low use of sulphites, and subtle oak. These are pure wines from 100% Barbera that offer great fruity freshness.
