Ornellaia Ornellaia 2023

Bolgheri

September 04, 2026 - Ornellaia is the estate’s flagship wine—a Grand Vin that embodies the power, elegance, and Mediterranean soul of Bolgheri. First produced in 1985, it is crafted from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot, harvested by hand and aged for 18 months in French oak. Blended after the first year, it returns to barrel for further refinement. With its remarkable balance and depth, Ornellaia captures the unique identity of each vintage and has the structure to evolve beautifully for decades.

Marqués de Riscal Frank Gehry Selection Rioja 2022

Rioja DOCa

September 03, 2026 - A wine destined to write some of the most beautiful pages of Rioja wine in the 21st century. It takes its name from one of the greatest architects of modern times and the creator of the emblematic Hotel Marqués de Riscal. From vineyards of over 80 years, the Frank Gehry Selección is a wine of pure hedonism. A wine to caress the senses. The second glass is better than the first, when it has had a chance to breathe and opens up to reveal the quantity of nuances it displays. When it is made, production is between 3,000-5,000 bottles.

Frescobaldi Tenuta Perano Chianti Classico 2023

Chianti Classico DOCG

September 03, 2026 - Tenuta Perano Chianti Classico is crafted from vineyards perched 1640 feet above sea level in Gaiole, benefiting from optimal sun exposure and a unique amphitheatre layout. This distinctive terroir imparts a brilliant purplish hue, intense fruity aromas, and exceptional tannic structure to the wine, which exhibits an elegant vibrancy. The hand-harvested grapes undergo fermentation in stainless-steel tanks, with maceration and pump-overs for maximum polyphenol extraction. Maturation in oak barriques and bottle-aging further refine the wine's complexity and depth.
