THE NEW RELEASE COLLECTION

ITALY RED WINE CONT’D TUSCANY ROCCA DELLE MACÌE RISERVA CHIANTI CLASSICO 2022 DOCG

ITALY ROSÉ WINE ABRUZZO TOLLO ROCCA VENTOSA CERASUOLO D’ABRUZZO ROSÉ 2025 DOP

An herbaceous earthiness defines the nose, which presents aromas of burnt sage, top soil, cracked black pepper, bing cherry and dried cranberries. The palate features cherries, stone fruit, orange peel and more herbs, before a spicy, peppery, earthy finish. Satisfying, classic. Score: 92 (Danielle Callegari, Wine Enthusiast , Oct. 1, 2025) Full-bodied & Firm 930966 (XD) 750 ml $26.95 2 VENETO PROVOLO CAMPOTORBIAN RIPASSO VALPOLICELLA SUPERIORE 2020 DOC Made from organically grown corvina (60%), rondinella (25%), corvinone (10%), and oseleta (5%) grapes, this was matured in large and small oak barrels for 36 months and in bottles for a further six months. The result is a big-boned, robust wine with concentrated flavours dominated by dark fruit. The tannins are still quite firm, but manageable. It’s definitely not a wine for sipping on its own, but it easily earns a place at the table. Score: 93 (Rod Phillips, Oct. 2024) Medium-bodied & Fruity 974402 (D) 750 ml $19.95 2 4 Organic product

This one has bold cherry and strawberry tones, with delicate herb, earth and mineral notes. Medium-bodied, fresh and food-friendly, it will be great for brunch or any summer meal.

Europe’s only surviving grazing pigs (pigs allowed to roam and feed as they will), trinca bolotas play a major role in preserving Alentejo’s oak forests and are a celebrated part of the region’s gastronomical heritage. This vibrant wine shows red fruit, blackberry, tobacco, dark chocolate and spice, and yes, it pairs with pork ribs. Full-bodied & Smooth 431064 (XD) 750 ml $18.95 2 PORTUGAL RED WINE
