THE NEW RELEASE COLLECTION

GREECE – RED WINE DOMAINE HATZIMICHALIS ALFEGA ERYTHROS 2021* PGI Atalanti Valley

FRIULI PIGHIN PINOT GRIGIO 2024 DOC Friuli Grave

A bright, fresh, fruity wine, with well-defined ripe apple, pear, melon, tropical banana and citrus notes alongside a honeyed character and lifted florals. Very pretty. Quite luscious and surprisingly weighty, with zippy acidity that makes it a wonderful sipper and also fabulously versatile with food.

This 2021 is from the Atalanti Valley: a mountainous region bordering the Aegean Sea in central Greece. The maritime conditions are ideal for the Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot that compose this wine. Matured for 12 months in French oak barriques, it offers ripe plum, blackberry and blue- berry along with cedar and spices. Pair with cured meats, lamb or duck.

ITALY – WHITE WINE CAMPANIA IL POGGIO FALANGHINA DEL SANNIO 2023 DOP

VENETO BOTTEGA SOAVE CLASSICO 2023 DOC

Aromas of sun-soaked stones add warmth to an otherwise fresh, light nose of lemon slices, white peaches and raw almonds. The palate offers a salted lemon element, before white tea with honey brings out sweeter fruit notes, even as bright acid and undertones of almond skin provide balance.
