Sandrone 742

Valmaggiore

Nebbiolo d'Alba

August 05, 2018
Valmaggiore is the product of Luciano’s incredible passion for the Nebbiolo grape variety and its different expression. Just 15 miles away from Barolo, in the Roero region, Nebbiolo produces a lighter structure and ripe, smooth tannins that are not unlike those of Pinot Noir.

James Suckling -July 12, 2019 "The tile and dried flowers highlight the dark fruit nicely. Medium body, firm and silky tannins and a savory finish."

Attems 738

Cicinis

August 05, 2018
The Cicinis Sauvignon Blanc is an utterly distinctive expression of Sauvignon Blanc. From a single vineyard in the Collio area, the tremendous density and aromatics are joined by a deep and complex texture due to the aging in oak barrels and cement eggs. Truly the Attems flagship.

James Suckling -July 24, 2020 "A dense and beautiful sauvignon with  lime, kiwi and lemon character, as well as soil and stone. Full body.  Flavorful and long. Excellent energy and brightness at the end. Phenolic…

Wine Enthusiast -September 01, 2022 "Part of the Bollinger group, this nonvintage cuvée is sophisticated, with ripe fruit, acidity and tangy orange-zest flavors all in balance. A final fresh twist gives a great lift."

Wine Spectator -September 30, 2024 "A hint of marzipan on the nose underscores the palate's flavors of persimmon, ripe green apple, plum skin and preserved lemon in this bright, well-spiced Champagne, with a lively mousse.…

Quinta do Noval 619

Tawny 20 Year Old Port NV

Douro Valley, Portugal

August 05, 2018
Noval 20 year old Tawny is a blend of old Ports from different vintages that have matured in oak casks, with an average age of 20 years. Irresistible freshness with all the complexity of age. Harmonious and balanced, fine, elegant and long, with all the aromatic complexity typical of Noval Tawny Ports. 

Decanter -January 19, 2021 "A chip off the (40-year-old) block, Quinta do Noval’s 20-year-old has excellent structure and drive. Together with the fresh acidity, heady yet controlled Cognac-like spirit harmoniously buoys its orange peel,…

Wine Spectator -August 08, 2018 "This is a shade darker and richer than its peers, with warm toffee, hazelnut cream, roasted vanilla, cinnamon and walnut husk leading the way, backed by halva, pistachio oil and…
