Featured Wines
Château Les Religieuses Saint-Emilion Grand Cru
The nose has wonderful aromas of black cherry, plum and subtle vanilla. Subtle notes of cedar and bay leaf. The firm but balanced tannins, ripe fruits of plum and cherry are well integrated on the palate thanks to the 12 months in oak barrels. The blend of Merlot and Cabernet are a perfect marriage in the glass and on the palate.
Region: Saint-Emilion, Bordeaux France
2019 Primo di Stato
A “Bordeaux-blend” from Italy, this robust wine with significant aging— 30 months in French oak, exemplifies the marriage of Italian winemaking traditions with the earthy, complexity of Bordeaux varietals. With notes of red fruit and rich spices, the wine offers bold tannins and a lingering finish.
Region: Montello Asolo (Northeastern Italy)
Nittardi Ad Mairoa
On the nose there are dark berry fruit aromas such rasberry, blackberry, and blueberry. Upon second approach you can find underlying hints of tobacoo, leather and spice. The ripe fruit, overall acidity, round tannins and alcohol converge to bring you a rich wine with fantastic complexity and long finish. In the mouth you can find some black cherries and licorice. This wine was aged 18 months in 30% new French oak barrels, 6 months in concrete vat and 12 months in the bottle before release.
Region: Toscana, Italy
Augustus Toscana
This wine combines both the appassimento-style of wine making with the historical method of aging wines in amphorae. After harvest, the grapes were dried for two and a half months, losing 50% of their liquid and concentrating the flavors. Once fermented, the wine was then aged in amphorae (large clay jars) for 16 months with additional months in oak barrels. The ending result is a rich and expressive wine packed with black fruit and berry notes that end with a lush, full finish.
Region: Tuscany, Italy
