A Prosecco that stands apart from the crowd thanks to its mineral and crushed vitamin notes, soapy floral tones like dried lavender and sage, and nutty aromas. Pretty perlage and loads of complex, almond-like flavors in the mouth.

This bright Riserva Merlot offers chewy cherry flavors followed by elegant notes of spice, tar and cola. The mouthfeel is rich and velvety. Pair this ruby-colored wine with duck confit seasoned with ginger and orange.

Masottina delivers an irresistible blend of Pinot Bianco, Chardonnay, Incrocio Manzoni, Sauvignon and Riesling. The wine is plush and thick with creamy soft vanilla nuances backed by exotic fruit and almond blossom. The finish is driven by orange zest and tangerine.

This blend of Pinot Bianco, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling starts off with barrel-fermented notes of butter and baked apples, then folds in tropical fruit flavors. But for all its buttery ripeness, it avoids going over the top, and finishes long, with lemony acids holding its components together.

Wood and toasted oak greet the nose at first, but are followed by soft chocolate, spice and cherry. Creamy and soft in consistency, with a bright, acidic close, this Cabernet Sauvignon would pair well with a long list of foods, from wild mushroom risotto to stewed meat.

A nosing reveals a pungent bouquet of lemon-lime and clover. The flavors of ripe apple and Bartlett pear are pure and unmistakable, while more apple comes on strong on the powerful finish. Very good and balanced, with just the right touch of sugar.

This delicately fragrant wine is made from Incrocio Manzoni 6.0.13 grapes (a cross between Pinot Bianco and Riesling). Perfumed aromas of spring flowers and passion fruit lead into a wine that’s well structured and creamy in the mouth with zesty peach flavors.

Very nice and intense, with baskets of exotic fruit, plush peach flavors and a creamy, full mouthfeel. Ends crisp and polished, and has enough acidity to set your palate back to zero. Imported by Speciality Brands, Spirits & Wines.
