Tintero Langhe Nebbiolo: Nebbiolo is the classic grape used to make the famous (and expensive) Barolo wines. In this version, you still get the definitive flavors and structure of Barolo. Rose petal aromas, dark red fruits, meaty notes and some tannins add up to one serious wine without a serious price tag.
Tintero Bianco: This light, refreshing white is a blend of local, indigenous grapes including Favorita and Arneis, with a splash of Moscato that adds hints of ripe peach and orange blossom notes without being sweet. Chill just slightly for maximum pleasure.
Sorbief Crémant du Jura: Crémant is the term used for French sparkling wines made outside the Champagne region. This one hails from the Jura region, located close to Switzerland in the foothills of the Alps. With quality that’s decidedly Champagne-like, it’s one of our best sparkling wine values.
Liesl Pinot Noir: Typically, Germany is not a country that comes to mind when one thinks about good pinot noir (they call the grape Spätburgunder), but that’s exactly where this gem is from. Enjoy its classic tart cherry, savory notes, touch of oak and good underlying acidity with sausage hot off the grill.
