The showy and intoxicating 2019 Hombros is floral and perfumed, heady and ripe at 14.5% alcohol, in a decadent style that is still well-oaked but less than in the past. The destemmed but uncrushed grapes fermented in 5,000-liter oak vats with indigenous y...
This is a powerful and pointed Xinomavro, showing off some typical rusticity but having just enough fruit to balance (some of) the power. It's earthy and complex. Very dry, a bit acidic and astringent?in other words, Xinomavro?this is an old-school versio...
The 2019 BenMarco Malbec was produced with fruit from Chacayes in the Valle de Uco, it is floral, spicy, aromatic, showy and expressive, with lots of aromatic herbs, black pepper and flowers. It has both good ripeness and freshness, with very fine tannins...
DESCRIPTION: Claré JC is a unique wine, our take on the forgotten days ofNebbiolo, when it was enjoyed in its lighter and fresher garment. The winemakingprotocol follows the 1606 writings of G.B.

VARIETY: 100% Nebbiolo.
VINEYARD AND TERROIR: Fruit from our young Nebbiolo vineyards.

The 2017 Barolo Bricco delle Viole is classy and elegant to the core. Medium in body and wonderfully translucent, the 2017 captures all of the finesse of this site. Naturally, the 2017 also shows the ripeness of the year, but it retains its sublime sense ...
