2020 AGRICOLA BRIGALDARA | VALPOLICELLA | VENETO, ITALY

Bright ruby. Vibrant aromas of redcurrant, blackberry and candied violet on the knockout nose. Quite juicy on the palate, with floral red berry flavours given laser-like precision by lovely harmonious acidity. Very well-balanced wine, clean and clear.

From the Winemaker: "Valpolicella is produced from the vinification of fresh grapes, mainly Corvina and Corvinone. The harvesting period is very important for this wine, due to the delicacy of its aromas and to the fragile sensory balance in which acidity plays a fundamental role. Our Valpolicella is a very drinkable wine that expresses the traditional aromas of the valley, which range from cherry up to more or less pronounced spicy notes, depending on the vintage. The perfect olfactory balance is achieved with a short refinement in steel that emphasizes the sensorial peculiarities of the wine."

2018 CONTESA | TREBBIANO D'ABRUZZO | ABRUZZO, ITALY

92 points Wine Enthusiast: "Perfumed aromas of yellow apple and cantaloupe are lifted by bright lemon and alpine herb accents on the nose. The rounded palate shows creamy orchard fruit flavors gently dusted with sweet spices and driven by bright, lemony acidity. It's a well-balanced, fuller-bodied white that balances richness and freshness."

From the Winemaker: "Deep yellow with shades of amber, this wine expresses notes of Mediterranean essences and ripe fruit. It has a fresh and structured taste, with good persistence, finishing with a pleasant almond taste. This wine is at its best 2 years after production. This wine goes well with fish dishes. medium-aged cheeses and cured meats, as well as tomato-based first courses and roasted white meats."
