Terre di Melazzano – Sofie IGT Toscana
Sofie is our favorite. We call her the "baby" Super Tuscan. Only two varietals are needed to showcase the true beauty of Chianti country. The serving temperature of this wine has an enormous impact on the flavor. Served cold, as the label states, blends the two varietals perfectly to create a wine that empties the bottle before you realize it. As the wine warms to room temperature, the silky and blodied tones of the Merlot shine. The result is so easy to drink that it can be served as an aperitif, a dinner win, or a post-dinner sunset sipper.

Villabella Ripasso
It is produced with Corvina, Rondinella, and Corvinone grapes from vineyards situated in the Valpolicella Classico area, following the traditional ripasso technique: the wine is kept in contact with the skin (still impregnated with sugar and aromatic components) of the dried grapes used for the production of Amarone. In this way, the resulting gains greater structure and complexity. Intense fruity notes of cherries, dewberries, bilberries and plums, together with suggestions of spices. Dry, with notable structure, it has a rich taste of red fruit and elegant spicy tones, reminiscent of cinnamon, cloves and pepper.
