DALVA COLHEITA TINTO 2022 DOC Douro (C. da Silva)

MASI COSTASERA RISERVA AMARONE DELLA VALPOLICELLA CLASSICO 2018 DOCG A whiff of sun-warmed leather, dried violets, and a sprinkle of spices mingle with ripe blackberries and a hint of tobacco. Macerating cherries, cinna- mon, and star anise join forces with shaved dark chocolate on the full-bodied palate. This Amarone’s refined tannins and elegant structure make it a boldly sophisticated wine that’s hard to resist. Drink from 2026 [into mid-2030s].

A blend of Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca and Tinta Roriz that punches well above its price point.

From an historic, family-owned winery, this blend of Viura, Garnacha Blanca and Malvasía de Rioja is a perennial customer favourite.
