Sandrone Barbera d’Alba 2023
Barbera d'Alba
March 16, 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.

Le Macchiole Scrio 2022
Toscana IGT
March 13, 2026 - This deep, spicy red was first produced in 1994, and the inspiration for its creation was the desire to produce a 100% Syrah, one of Le Macchiole’s favorite grapes. Rare and original and produced in very small quantities, Scrio quickly became a benchmark in Bolgheri. The name of the wine, inspired by a Tuscan expression that means “pure, candid, whole,” perfectly describes its defining characteristics.

The production numbers are tiny, never exceeding 5,000 bottles.
