Sulin |
Casorzo DOC |
Bright red. Very fresh and floral aromas and flavors of small red berries and aromatic herbs. A very well balanced, dainty wine that offers lots of personality and only 5% alcohol. Made with the Malvasia di Casorzo variety. A bowl of fresh red fruit and a glass of this a day will keep the doctor away. |

Verbena |
Brunello di Montalcino |
Aromas of dried fruit and hot stones follow through to a full body, soft and silky tannins and a fresh and vivid finish. Another outstanding Brunello for this producer. Why wait?

Valderiz |
Tomas Esteban |
Rich and a bit rustic with pronounced herbal and green olive aromas. A ripe, bold wine with very serious dry tannins and good length. |
