Tasting Notes

It's cold outside! These wines evoke and complement being warm and dry, fall fruits & spices, and rich, creamy goodness!

They all pair well with fall and winter comfort foods, holiday favorites, and sipping by the fireplace or wood stove.

This mixed case includes 2 bottles of sparkling white, 4 bottles of white, and 6 bottles of red wine.

LE RUGHE PROSECCO DOC BRUT (ITALY) (2 BOTTLES)
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. Serve well chilled.

"FORAL DE MEDA" BRANCO DOURO DOC 2018 (PORTUGAL) (2 BOTTLES)
Pale citrine color. Fresh, citrusy flavor and even some tropical notes. In the mouth, it is fresh with well-balanced acidity.

"KASTA" BRANCO DOURO DOC 2016 (PORTUGAL)
Clear and citrine color. Fruity aroma with pineapple, peach and tropical notes. Well-balanced acidity, resulting in a long and very pleasant white wine.

CLOS DEL PINELL GARNACHA BLANCA TERRA ALTA DO 2019 (SPAIN)
We found this wine to be a lovely surprise, inviting a second glass. Its qualities are best appreciated when it is well chilled. Bright gold color. Aroma of ripe white fruit and minerals. In the mouth it is creamy, fleshy, and full of freshness. Its mid-palate is quite long and silky.

"REMAJOR" MONFERRATO DOC ROSSO (ITALY) 2016
Bright ruby red in colour. Intense, complex aroma of cassis, cherries, raisins, smoke, licorice, bitter almond, vanilla, cloves, pepper, violets and blackberry. On the palate it is very elegant, with luscious dark fruit, velvety tannins, delicate spices, mineral notes, and a long finish.

SOTTANO CLÁSICO MALBEC 2019 (ARGENTINA)
(2 BOTTLES)
Gleaming, intense red-violet colour. Complex aroma of ripe red plums and raspberries is enhanced with subtle chocolate and vanilla. On the palate it is well structured, with velvety and elegant tannins and a lingering finish.

"EXPRESIÓN" MALBEC (ARGENTINA) 2018
Full ruby red colour with violet hues. Black raspberry and violet aromas are perfectly combined with elegant tannins. Very good persistence.

SOTTANO CLÁSICO CABERNET SAUVIGNON 2020 (ARGENTINA)
Deep and intense ruby colour. Coffee, cassis, cappuccino, tobacco and various spices contribute to this wine’s complex bouquet. Full bodied in the mouth, its tannins are firm, its flavour deep and rich.

TERRA D'ALTER ARAGONEZ ZERO SO2 2018 (PORTUGAL)
Intense dark red color. Aromas of ripe dark cherries and fresh blackberries. Smooth and rich tannins with a well-balanced acidity structure on the palate. Long, spicy, fruity finish.
