Tasting Notes

The complete "Italian Sweethearts" collection, made up of quality, authentically made Rosé, Prosecco, Sparkling Rosé, and Red wines as shown in the photo and described below.

LE BIGNELE "LU.MI" ROSÉ VERONESE IGT 2018
[Corvina , Corvinone, Rondinella, and Molinara]
[LIGHT & FRUITY]
From the Valpolicella Classico region, and made with the region's traditional grapes, this wine has a beautiful pink color and fruity aroma. Nicely dry and fresh on the palate.

LE RUGHE PROSECCO DOC BRUT NV
[100% Glera]
[LIGHT & CRISP]
From one of the oldest wineries in Valdobbiadene-Conegliano, the heartland of Prosecco. Brilliant, light-straw yellow with persistent perlage. On the nose, medium intensity and delicate aromas of grapefruit. The palate has citrus, acacia, pear and apple, and the very pleasant combination of acidity, effervescence and sweetness lead to a lingering, complex finish.

ANGORIS "1648" SPARKLING ROSÉ BRUT 2009
[100% Pinot Noir]
[RICH & CREAMY]
From a historic estate winery that once supplied the royal courts of Europe. The colour is onion-skin copper with fine and persistent perlage. On the nose, delicate raspberry and strawberry aromas mingle with floral, mineral, and yeast notes. On the palate, it is soft, fresh, creamy, balanced, and persistent.

PIANDACCOLI "BACIAMI" SPARKLING ROSÉ BRUT 2018
[100% Mammolo]
[FRUITY & CRISP]
From the Chianti DOCG region and made from a little-known grape, this is a delightful and surprisingly complex wine. The color is a slightly pale pink reminiscent of elegant Provençal nectars. The perlage is intense and fairly persistent. The nose has clear floral and fruity notes, with small red fruits (raspberry, blackberry and black currant) predominating, and a subtle citrus flavor interspersed with light and pleasant mineral deposits. In the mouth it is delicately exuberant; fruit-forward but fresh and crisp at the same time.

TRULLO DI PEZZA "NINELLA" ROSSO SALENTO IGP 2015
[80% Negroamaro, 20% Primitivo]
[EARTHY & SPICY]
Ripe red fruit and a hint of cocoa on the nose. Full-bodied and beautifully balanced with flavors of dark cherries accented with spicy and herbal notes.

ROCCA VINI "AMORNERO" ROSSO SALENTO IGT 2017
[Blend of Primitivo and Negroamaro]
[BIG & BOLD]
Aromas of ripe dark berries such as blackberries and blackcurrants, paired with notes of prunes and raisins, licorice, cinnamon and spices. These aromas are reflected on the palate. The wine is soft and round, full bodied and well balanced on the palate, with a very pleasing finish.

CORTE DEI VENTI "SILVANA" SUPERTUSCAN ROSSO TOSCANA IGT 2016
[60% Sangiovese, 30% Syrah, 10% Merlot & Cab Sauv]
[EARTHY & SPICY]
Well-defined aroma with strong blackberry and blueberry notes, blended with sweet and fresh, strong spicy aromas. Round on the palate, warm and embracing, good acidity, firm tannic structure, and with a very pleasing flavor.
