PIEDMONT MICHELE CHIARLO LE MARNE GAVI DOCG

SANTA MARIA LEPIGA SOAVE DOC Fairly neutral and slightly smoky, with a stone fruit core. Light-bodied, it shows moderate to refreshing acidity and a polished finish with a bit of savoriness. Drink now. Score: 90 (Aldo Fiordelli, jamessuckling.com, Sept. 30, 2025) Aromatic & Flavourful 44319 (XD) 750 ml $16.95 1 Featured in Beyond Chardonnay

Cortese is grown throughout Piedmont, but the most notable expressions come from the calcareous-marl soils of Gavi. This elegant, fresh wine has notes of golden apple, honeydew melon, pear, peach, citrus, and white flowers, with some light herbal tones and a mineral edged close. Perfect for sipping or pairing with seafood salad. Light & Crisp 228528 (XD) 750 ml $19.95 1 Featured in Beyond Chardonnay

ITALY ˆ RED WINE PIEDMONT MONCHIERO LANGHE NEBBIOLO DOC

SICILY GORGHI TONDI MAREMEO SAUVIGNON BLANC ­ DOC Sicilia

This Sauvignon Blanc brings a touch of the exotic, with an appealing Mediterranean flair. Look for lime, peach, passion fruit, gentle spice, and a saline mineral note. Vibrant and dynamic, with an uplifting, refreshing mouthfeel. Great on the deck on a warm day, or paired with seafood. Aromatic & Flavourful 49062 (XD) 750 ml $19.95 2

Outstanding top shelf quality: a complexity of earthy dark fruit and herbaceous heather with an arresting saline footnote. Ardent and inspiring with strident, well-executed tannins, a delicious leathery texture and succulent acidity. Long and mesmerising. Score: 97 (Decanter World Wine Awards, 2025) Full-bodied & Firm 50758 (XD) 750 ml $27.95 2

SICILY PLANETA PLUMBAGO NERO D’AVOLA DOC Sicilia Menfi

VENETO IL LAGHETTO LUGANA DOC (Riolite)

... this is the biggest of the Plumbago because the vintage gave great heat and therefore the Plumbago shrubbery could not help but take over the entirety of the savoury elements in this nero d’Avola. Full on Menfi Balsamico, or an otherwise named local macchia, like fragrant hay, a.k.a. Plumbago. Drink 2025-2031. Tasted May 2025. Score: 92 (Michael Godel, winealign.com) Medium-bodied & Fruity 19491 (XD) 750 ml $24.95 2 4 Organic product

This wine was harvested in stages to maximize upon fruit ripeness, then fermented and aged in stainless steel. It’s crisp and quite bold, with apple, peach, citrus blossom, apricot and almond tones and a honeyed note emerging on the close. The minerality has a distinct salinity that adds intrigue and further complexity. Light & Crisp 49057 (D) 750 ml $21.95 1 Featured in Beyond Chardonnay
