Erste+Neue Pinot Nero 2016
Robed in translucent garnet, Erste+Neue’s 2016 Pinot Nero is nimble and lively. Crafted from grapes grown in flint, clay, and lime sedimentary soils that surround bucolic Lake Kaltern, the vines are trained on pergolas. Pie cherries, seedy black raspberry, and forest floor aromas round out the nose. Aging in large casks has imparted a subtle […]
Erste+Neue Pinot Grigio 2016
The color of sun bleached straw, Erste+Neue’s 2016 Pinot Grigio offers up notes of Bosc pear, yellow apple, prairie flowers, and line-dried linen.

The 2000 San Leonardo is built on a foundation that is squarely Italian, but there are some Bordeaux-esque elements to this profound Dolomitic red. As it evolves, black currants and plums swirl beath layers of graphite, forest floor, sweet tobacco, sandalwood, dried laurel, […]
Ferrari Brut NV
Crafted from 100% Chardonnay that is sustainably grown at high altitude, this sophisticated Trentodoc sparkler gives off delicate aromas of yellow apple, d’Anjou pear and smoke. It’s clean and focused, with brisk bubbles and lively citrus undertones—white grapefruit pith lends tension to fuller, yeastier notes of wet dough that gradually subsides into a persistent and […]
