The Altitud Malbec from Andeluna Cellars is a brilliant example of how great Malbec can be when produced by the right winemaker.
The Altitud Malbec displays a remarkable array of flavours and aromas and benefits from oak ageing in French casks to add complexity and suppleness to the wine.
The tannins are soft and elegant despite the high alcohol content and intensity of taste.

Since 1931, five generations of the Brotte family of Maison BROTTE at Châteauneuf-du-Pape have crafted with passion refined wines, distinctively smooth, elegantly fruity and spicy. The Grenache identity, the perfect knowledge of “terroirs” and the arts of vinification and maturation – mainly in 100 year old oak barrels, give such a unique style to Brotte wines.
The appellation Châteauneuf-du-Pape is mainly known for its red wines. However, it also produces around 6% of whites of equally high quality. “Les Hauts de Barville” is mainly produced from the family estate Domaine Barville, located at the west of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape village. Out of the 15ha, 2.10 ha are planted with white varieties.
The 2018 vintage produced full-bodied whites that have kept good freshness.

The Cantina di Negrar brand is the soul of Cantina Valpolicella Negrar and pays homage to the philosophy of cooperative production while also recalling the territory’s historical vestiges: the effigy of St. Mark’s Lion standing tall on a column in the centre of Negrar is testimony of the Venetian Republic’s domination in the sixteenth century. The Cantina di Negrar wines are rooted in the wine-making tradition of Valpolicella and the Veronese wine-growing areas, with a modern reinterpretation to guarantee the best price/quality ratio.
This is a brand new single varietal from this co-operative, located in the heart of the Valpolicella Classico area, just a few kilometres from Verona. Corvina is usually blended with Molinara and Rondinella, but an increasing number of producers are making 100% Corvina wines. The result is light and fragrant with floral notes and some blackcurrant. It has an elegant structure with some peppery hints on the finish.
The catchy and interesting label depicts Ulysses’ 10-year journey home from Troye to Ithaca. Every facet of his journey captivates the sense of discovery, self-discovery, and world discovery Ulysses experiences in those enchanted 10 years.

In Abruzzo, the first evidence of wine production stretches back in pre-Roman times, with funerary pottery unearthed in the monumental cemeteries around L’Aquila.

The Vermentino of the Lunae winery is one of the best creatures of Paolo Bosoni, founder and soul of this appreciated reality enclosed between the blue mirror of the Ligurian Sea and the green panorama of Lunigiana. Lunae’s philosophy is as simple as it is decisive: to exploit all the knowledge of its territory to transform a deep and rooted link over time into a wine that knows how to weave tradition and recent developments in the wine industry.
The Black Label is a multifaceted and harmonious Vermentino, of great persistence. Vinified and left to mature in steel tanks only, it is a white that enhances the most intimate characteristics of the most typical of the varieties of this beautiful area of Liguria. In fact, it is surprising for its freshness and depth, elegance and fabric. Not only that, it is a Vermentino capable of surprising even after many years from the harvest, if well preserved in the cellar.
Gambero Rosso, one of Italy’s most prominent wine reviewers, has proclaimed his vintage as “The Best White Wine of The Year 2019” and awarded it with the Tre Bicchieri (3 glasses), its highest ranking, for 10 years in a row.
Sustainable and on organic conversion.

The Vermentino Gray Label is a fresh and fruity white, aged in steel, which with its immediate pleasantness well represents the character of Vermentino Ligure, adapted perfectly to the Colli di Luni area, thanks to its preference for the Mediterranean climate, warm, ventilated and for the exposures close to the coast. The Gray Label of Cantina Lunae Bosoni is the most typical direct and immediate interpretation of Vermentino, lean and sapid, with a mouth center with a juicy fruit and a finish of beautiful freshness.
