2022	Di Giovanna	Nerello Mascalese 'Vurria'	The 2022 Nerello Mascalese di Giovanna Vurria is wildly fresh and pure in style, offering blackberry and sage complemented by a tinge of exotic spice. Juicy and round, it washes across the palate with mineral-inflected red and blue fruits riding a wave of juicy acidity. The finish brings a cascade of violet inner florals and a twang of sour citrus.

2023	Cape Mentelle	Semillon-Sauvignon Blanc 'Marri'	Bombastic, and hard not to compare to the famed Marlborough SB style, there’s some flinty, oniony reduction, punchy stone and citrus fruit, jalapeño and bell pepper notes to start. A lovely waxy texture to the palate is more distinguishing. It’s cut through with crisp acidity and peachy fruit concentration to the finish. Best Buy.	Wine Enthusiast	Best Buy		2025-06-30
2023	Cape Mentelle	Chardonnay 'Marri'	Bright citrus, green-tea and lemongrass notes are rounded and tempered by richer ones like nougat and cashew. The palate is equally rich and mouthfilling but is lifted by a lovely line of acidity—the fruit and nut flavors lingering to the finish. Sip beside buttery seafood, poultry or creamy pasta dishes.

2021	Davide Fregonese	Barolo 'Cerretta'	A wildly expressive and untamed Cerretta that dances between savory depth and bright vitality. Ancient incense and mixed spices weave through memories of sacred spaces, while a vibrant core of wild cherry bursts forth with electric energy. The tannins are precisely crafted, present but refined, providing elegant structure without overwhelming. Brilliant acidity drives the wine forward, creating a thrilling tension between tart fruit and those deeper, contemplative elements. This is Cerretta speaking its truth, both sacred and spirited, traditional yet thoroughly alive. Drink now–2040.	Wine Enthusiast	94		2025-06-30

2023	Cape Mentelle	Cabernet Sauvignon 'Marri'	Aromas of raspberry and black currants sprinkled with dried mint, coca powder and underscored by black olives and graphite float from the glass of this Cab, from one of the region’s long-standing producers. There’s a lightness here that’s welcome amidst the sturdy tannins, which take over the mouth. The fruit squeaks through the cracks but falls off quickly. Best Buy.	Wine Enthusiast	Best Buy		2025-06-30
