SARTARELLI, Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi “Tralivio” 2018.
100% Verdicchio Grapes
 “Bright straw. Very ripe, generous, showy aromas and flavors of white stone fruit, pomaceous orchard fruit and balsamic oils. Solid underlying acidity lifts the rich but juicy texture on the long, tactile finish, which features a strong marzipan presence. Made from grapes grown in the Tralivio vineyard and others in the area. A very rare estate in Italy that devotes itself completely to just one grape, Verdicchio. [The Sartarelli family] have raised Verdicchio wine making to an art form, and nobody produces as many successful wines from the grape as they do. Tralivio Verdicchio [is now] one of the best Verdicchio wines made anywhere.” – Ian D’Agata, VinousMedia.

ERMANNO COSTA, Chardonnay “Balin” 2019.
100% Chardonnay Grapes

Hailing from a small farm in Roero this 100% Chardonnay will surprise you with the pure fruit sensation and great minerality. Totally produced in stainless steel tanks. The quality of the fruit and the production procedures create a pure fruit experience for those who eschew overwhelming oak in their white wines. 

 The red wines will be served with: Cheese ravioli in a tomato roasted butternut squash sauce and Slow roasted short ribs in ragu

COLTERENZIO, Pinot Nero Riserva “St. Daniel”  2016
100% Pinot Noir Grapes

Medium-intense garnet; red colour a seductive bouquet of cherry, damsons, red fruits and cinnamon; medium-rich on the palate, supple and luscious with flavours of black and red berries, velvety tannins and discreet hints of oak spice.
92 Points James Suckling.

ERMANNO COSTA, Rosso Piemonte “Alba” 
60% Nebbiolo 40% Barbera Grapes

A combination of 60% Nebbiolo and 40% Barbera perfectly expresses the inherent acidity and structure of the Barbera with the elegance and tannin of Nebbiolo. Intensely ruby red in color with a persistent nose of red raspberry and blackberry. Refined in french oak tonneaux for 20 months before bottling.
