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.

Branko – Fruilano Collio DOC
Genuinely Friulian, by history, lineage and emotional resonance, the Friulano grape keeps its pledge to deliver a generous, warm drinking experience to which time adds personality and new dimensions of sensory gratification. The instantly recognisable array of bitter almondsedged aromatics frames an outstandingly fresh-tasting palate, the result of maturation in stainless steel subtly enhanced by a small proportion of wine conditioned in 400-litre oak casks.

Branko – Pinot Grigio Collio DOC
Like many other varieties, Pinot Grigio was imported from France. The grape achieves excellence here and owes Collio much of its fame. This fruit-forward, characterful wine melds very special aromas from fermentation and partial maturation in oak, its initial swagger giving way to more harmonious perceptions that thrill the senses. Sun-dried hay and walnut skin aromas accompany nectarines and confectioner's cream, comparisons that spring instinctively, and very clearly, to mind. The warm, plush mouthfeel with its discreet acidity and pleasing sensation of elegant fullness derives from the fact that at least ten per cent of the wine is conditioned in mid-sized oak casks.

Branko – Sauvignon Collio DOC
Branko’s richly aromatic and highly distinctive Sauvignon offers a range of perceptions reminiscent of pennyroyal, sage, rosemary and elderflowers, tempting the nostrils with a thrillingly satisfying aromatic banquet. The fragrances derive from the grape’s genetic heritage and Igor has chosen not to layer them with the elegant toasty nuances of maturation in small oak, a procedure which is not used with this wine type. Structure and savoriness find perfect balance.

Cascina Boschetti Gomba – Barolo Sori DOCG
Nebbiolo is the star variety of northern Italy's Piedmont region. Nebbiolo is an elegant variety with mouthwatering acidity and a compelling perfume of rose petals, violets, fresh tar, licorice, clay, and dried cherries. Light in color and body, Nebbiolo is a more powerful win than one might expect. Its firm tannins typically need time to mellow. With age, it develops a velvety texture and a stunningly complex bouquet.

Casteggio Sangue di Giuda
The name Sangue di Giuda or Judah's blood comes from it's deep ruby red color, with purple hues just like blood. Legend says, after Judah’s betrayal and hanging, Jesus forgave him and allowed Judah to come back on earth, specifically in the area of Oltrepo’ by the town of Broni. When the local farmers recognized him, they wanted to kill him, but they spared him when he helped to heal their vines that had been affected by a disease. In return, they named the grape after him. Another explanation is that this wine is a "traitor" because it is so delicious that you can get tempted without much effort.
Intense ruby red color with characteristic perfume aromas of cherry and more specifically of bing cherry. Fizzy, sweet and fruity taste.
