Fantini Gran Cuvee Rose Nv Aglianico from Italy
#136225 750 mL
Fantini Gran Cuvee Rose Nv
91 Eric Guido - Vinous Media
"Pretty peach, chamomile and rose petal notes make the NV Brut Rosé Gran Cuvée a total pleasure on the nose. There's a wonderful balance of ripe orchard fruit and stimulating citrus concentration carried across a silken wave of fine bubbles. This finishes remarkably fresh yet potent and long, leaving sweet hints of red pear and mint to fade slowly. The Gran Cuvée is a sparkling Aglianico Rose that once again proves the merit and diversity of the variety."

2018 Winter Miles Ebenezer Barossa Shiraz
96 Sam Kim - Wine Orbit
Gracefully rich and complex, the wine shows dark fruit intensity, warm spice, mocha and toasty oak characters on the nose, leading to a wonderfully weighted palate delivering terrific weight and persistency. Splendidly framed by beautifully melded tannins, finishing impressively long and gratifying. At its best: now to 2035.

100 Luca Gardini - GardiniNotes.com
"Bright, compact and brilliant ruby colour. The nose offers hints of wild strawberry and yellow raspberry with shades of peony and slightly iodized touches in closing. On the palate tension and expansion, with tannins well blended to the fruit-saline component and a fresh and balsamic finish, of great depth and pleasant drinkability."

2020 Charly Thevenet Regnie En Voiture Simone
93 James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com
"Why not take a drive in this unusually complex and elegant wine for this appellation, with very silky tannins and delicately lemony acidity supporting the generous body. The minerality builds seriously at the long, very polished finish. Drink or hold."

2022 La Parrina Vermentino
92 Antonio Galloni - Vinous
The 2022 Vermentino offers notable depth and textural presence to play off more exotic floral and white fruit notes that develop in the glass. A wine of real complexity and personality, La Parrina's Vermentino is terrific.

2023 Anselmo Mendes Contacto Alvarinho
92 Wine Enthusiast
This floral wine, with its jasmine and bitter orange aromas, is ripe and full of rich potential. It is fresh with density and an edge of structure from the skin contact during fermentation. Drink from 2025. — Roger Voss
