Sandrone Barbera d’Alba 2022
Barbera d'Alba
March 11, 2026 - Barbera is a delicate and demanding grape variety. A meticulous search in the area for the very best soils, agronomical decisions and particular attention to vinification enable Sandrone to show the very best qualities of this wine. Barbera d’Alba is made to be a medium-weight wine that will drink well for a decade. It shows delicious and plump berry and black fruits. As Barbera possesses almost no natural tannins, the use of tonneaux gives the wine some much-needed structure. It is a perfect match with rich dishes as the bright acidity keeps it from being too heavy.

E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie La Turque 2019
Cote-Rotie
March 04, 2026 - E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie La Turque was replanted in 1980 and '81 after the family acquired the site through their purchase of Vidal-Fleury. Though dormant for decades, Etienne Guigal remembered the quality of wines once made from this vineyard and led its revival, starting in 1985. La Turque occupies a unique position on the Côte Brune with soils that give the wine a rich, exotic character. Stylistically, it bridges the power of La Landonne and the elegance of La Mouline, combining intensity with seductive finesse.
