This historic vineyard located right in the village of Barolo, is often considered one of the best, if not the most famous. Light in colour, it is aromatic and rich with fruit and floral fragrances, and strong warm spiced scents. Light, elegant, feminine, and velvety, this 100% Nebbiolo will age for many years. An elegant and velvety wine, it is characterized by its structure and balance. Gorgeous.

Subtle aromas of sunbaked earth, ripe berry and camphor take shape in the glass along with a floral note. The elegant palate is on the lighter side of medium-bodied, offering tart red cherry, ground clove and a hint of mocha alongside polished tannins.

Its unique recipe, highlighting an aromatic blend of juniper berries, lemon & orange peel and subtle hints of vanilla and elderflower, creates an unprecedented gin experience. The flavour profile is mellow, smooth and well-mannered — it's delicious neat yet stands tall when mixed with tonic.

This entry-level Gibson’s is cut from the same fine cloth as the exquisite Gibson’s 18 and their lavishly flavorful 12 year old. Immediately, rum and butter laced with spirit and hot pepper seep into sweet and sizzling rye spices. Then light berry-ish notes turn to Concord grapes, pear juice, and soft yellow apples, as bitter walnut skins counter rich maple ice cream. A slight waxiness lends a satisfying weight.

Gibson's Finest Venerable 18 Year Old is a smooth, rich Canadian whisky with a complex flavor profile. It's known for its oaky, vanilla, and caramel notes on the nose, along with subtle spice and fruity rye. On the palate, it offers caramel, vanilla, and sweet corn flavors, with hints of pepper and oak. The finish is well-balanced, with lingering notes of pepper, zesty lemon, oak, and rye spices, and a sweet, fruity aftertaste.

La Bota de Gin 81 "Bota NO" is a complex and elegant gin, perfumed with a subtle sherry character. It has its origin in the finest distillate, London Dry Gin style, with marked citrus and juniper berries aromas, later aged for almost four years in a single cask previously used for ageing Fino from Jerez until it has been bottled at cask strength. The outcome is a symphony of aromas and flavours and a delicate palate that reminds of manzanilla pasada rather than spirits—an exceptional gin. We do not know any other one like this.

At the beginning of 2014, we selected several old casks that had previously been used for maturing sherry or brandy for over forty years to mature this magnificent gin. One was almost completely emptied for this edition of the "La Bota" series. It is, therefore, an exclusive product, which will last as long as it takes to sell out the few more than six hundred bottles that have come out of this single cask.

Nose: Juniper berries, citrus zest, hints of coriander and pine.

Taste: Smooth and crisp, with dominant notes of juniper and citrus. Subtle hints of spice and floral undertones.

Palate: Well-balanced and refreshing, with a zesty burst of citrus followed by a warming spice. Lingering finish with a touch of pine and a hint of sweetness.

Without denying its dry gin character, Ginetic Rose Gin revolutionizes the art of mixology for a look at life through rose-tinted glasses.

Ginetic Rose Gin has a delicious floral and fresh profile. An exceptional range of aromas and fabulous flavours from this blend of juniper and herbs. This characterful, pale pink gin is delicious and unique, exuding powerful aromas in a subtle balance of juniper, coriander, angelica, and lemon zest, enhanced with flavours of red berries. Ideal for preparing colorful and original cocktails. The nose expresses notes of pepper enhanced with light aromas of fresh fruit. Smooth and soft on the palate, with a persistent aroma of juniper and subtle, fresh raspberry flavours.

The Giovanni Almondo Arneis Vigne Sparse is a great entry into the joys of Arneis, one of the most important white varieties in the Roero. Clean and sharp flavors of white pepper, almond, under-ripe pear and mineral-driven citrus blend into a finish loaded with energy and sparked by a salivating finish.

Wine Advocate-Barbaresco, Piedmont, Italy- "This wine offers a unusual bouquest of candied cherry and cola aromas that are distinct to this wine. There is a savory side to the wine, with cedar and baking clove, its center of gravity defers to that candied cherry or creme de cassis characteristic."

Mature plum, vanilla, toast and toasted oak sensations lead the nose. The palate opens with juicy black cherry and plum layered with coffee, dense chocolate and bitter espresso that slightly diminish the impact of its Nebbiolo pedigree and purity. It's already accessible but should also age well. — Kerin O’Keefe, Wine Enthusiast

"This opens with aromas of plum, espresso, truffle and just a whiff of barnyard. The ripe palate delivers juicy black cherry, crushed raspberry, roasted coffee bean and mocha alongside muted, drying tannins. It's already accessible and evolving quickly so enjoy it sooner rather than later. Drink through 2016." - Wine Enthusiast

From the Piedmont wine region, BARBARESCO 2014 is an intense and full-bodied Barolo with dark fruit, underbrush and earthy flavours on the palate and would benefit from a couple more years in cellar.

Aromas of tilled soil, underbrush and dark berry lead the nose. On the savory easygoing palate, fresh acidity and pliant tannins frame black cherry, clove and a hint of licorice- KERIN O'KEEFE ( Wine Enthusiast)

From the Piedmont wine region, Giribaldi 2014 is an intense and full-bodied Barolo with dark fruit, underbrush and earthy flavours on the palate and would benefit from a couple more years in cellar. The wine was aged in oak cask for 30 months and tannins are still quite firm

This wine is bright and focused, with a lasting finish. Its aromas and flavors of black fruit and pinpoint minerality should pair it beautifully with rosemary-accented lamb kebobs.

"White spring flower and white stone fruit aromas lead the nose. On the tangy, refreshing palate, bright acidity accompanies green apple, white peach and a hint of lemon drop before closing on a hazelnut note. Kerin O'Keefe."

"A ruby-colored sparkling dessert wine from northern Italy, Brachetto d'Acqui enjoys a long history rooted in Italian tradition, and it can be paired with sweet foods and savory ones alike. This is soft and round with notes of raspberry and candied cherry on the close."

The Vicini family, established near Pescara around 1500, has been engaged in agriculture since their wool merchant days, with their wine cantina built in 1853. Recently, Chiara Ciavolich inherited the vineyards from her aunt Giuliana Vicini and launched the Giuliana Vicini label to honour her grandmother and showcase the terroir. This crisp Pecorino wine, sourced from vineyards near Miglianico at 250 meters elevation, offers refreshing citrus and white flower notes. Once thought extinct, Pecorino is now prized in Italy’s eastern coastal regions. Vinified in stainless steel, it serves as a vibrant alternative to Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio!
