Masciarelli Montepulciano d’Abruzzo 2022

Abruzzo

February 02, 2026 - Masciarelli Montepulciano d’Abruzzo has proudly served as the global benchmark for Montepulciano for nearly 40 years, and, for countless wine drinkers, continues to be the ideal introduction to the wines of Abruzzo. This wine shows how, when handled with care, the late-ripening Montepulciano grape produces refined wines of soft acidity, ripe and moderate tannins, and bright red berry and cherry notes with a distinct, spicy character.

Marqués de Riscal Rioja Gran Reserva 2018

Rioja Gran Reserva DOCa

January 27, 2026 - Marqués de Riscal Gran Reserva is a timeless wine which represents almost two centuries of winemaking skill. It has the traditional style of the Rioja Alavesa, with an elegance to its complex concentration, and recalls the aspirations of the founders of the bodega back in the 19th century. It is the wine made today that is a direct link to the bottles found in Riscal’s historical cellar, the largest such cellar in Europe with a collection of over 140,000 bottles dating back to 1860.

Marqués de Riscal Rioja Reserva 2021

Rioja Reserva DOCa

January 26, 2026 - The calling card of Marqués de Riscal and arguably the single, iconic representation of the Rioja region the world over. This Reserva wine is made exclusively - and remarkably - from Tempranillo vines planted at elevation before the 1970s, and grown in the best clay-limestone soils of the Rioja Alavesa. Riscal has, simply, the greatest collection of old vines in the world. This incredible material is then gently handled, and the trademark refined and seductive wine effortlessly gives pleasure on release and for years.
