Ripe fruit, raspberry and strawberry open the nose of this extracted Merlot from Central Italy. Austere aromas of toast and spice give the wine more depth and persistency. Try it with grilled sausage and sauerkraut.

This interesting barrel-fermented Pinot Grigio from central Italy is one of the most fragrant—incredibly so—expressions of the grape available. The nose is redolent of spicy sage, white peppercorn and pink grapefruit. It’s creamy and slightly sweet in the mouth with cooling acidity on the close.
