Red wine. Chieti, Abruzzo, Italy. Sustainable. 100% Montepulciano. Dark ruby color. Aromas and flavors of raspberry, cherry, strawberry, toffee, and roses. Ample red fruit on the lively, luscious palate, with medium-plus acidity and a hint of sweetness. An excellent value Montepulciano.

Red wine. Piedmont, Italy. Sustainable. 100% Barbera. Bright ruby red. This Barbera really delivers for the price. Aromas of raspberry, some coffee and chocolate. The palate is really fresh, with medium acid and tangy sour cherry fruit. The freshness of the fruit is key here as its tank fermentation lends to its brightness. Great with pizza, tomato-based dishes and pastas of any kind.

Red wine. Piedmont, Italy. Sustainable. 100% Barbera. A beautiful mid-weight wine with a good deal of aromatic nuance. Sweet tobacco, leather, spice, menthol and dried herbs are all beautifully delineated. Medium in body, with the elevated acidity that is such a signature of the vintage. Specifically, it is the interplay of the freshness of the vintage with the rich expression of fruit that is typical here that makes this wine so satisfying

Red wine. Dark ruby red color with glints of purple. Integrated. 100% Sangiovese. On the nose, medium intensity with aromas of strawberries, red cherries, cloves, and smoke. Dry and medium-bodied on the palate with harmonious tannins and concentrated flavors of strawberries and cherries. Solid length on the finish with lingering spiced notes, predominantly clove and cinnamon.

Red wine. Piedmont, Italy. Sustainable. 100% Nebbiolo. Traditional vinification, using only indigenous yeasts, gentle extraction and aging in older Slovenian foudres. Lifted, precise and impeccable in its overall balance. Sweet floral notes meld into a core of dark stone fruits, lavender, menthol and sage. Dark, layered and inviting, this captures the essence of the Manzone house style.

Red wine. Piedmont, Italy. Sustainable. 100% Barbera sourced from a 60-year-old vineyard. Temperature controlled fermentation followed by brief aging in tank. The age if the vines and the type of soil make it possible to produce a ready-to-drink wine with structure, but which retains its aromas and flavors after aging. Aromatic bouquet of black cherries, plum, and pepper. A fresh, beautifully balanced wine.

Red wine. Chianti Classico, Tuscany, Italy. Integrated. 90% Sangiovese, 5% Canaiolo Nero, 5% Colorino. Castello di Uzzano is a property located in Greve in the heart of Chianti Classico. The wine is aged for a year in stainless steel tanks before spending six months in large wooden barrels to round out and soften the wine. The result is an expressive Chianti Classico which shows beautiful fruit, depth, and balance. Expect flavors of sour cherry, cranberry, and red plum, there is a herbaciousness and spice on the finish along with great acidity to bring you back for another sip. This is a quintessential wine for a pasta with a hearty Bolognese sauce, or grilled steak served with broccoli rabe sautéed with garlic, anchovies, and chili flake.
