L. Baldo

Marzemino is a red Italian wine grape that is primarily grown around Isera, south of Trentino. The wine is most noted for its mention in the opera Don Giovanni of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart ("Versa il vino! Eccellente Marzemino!"). The vine ripens late and is susceptible to many grape diseases including oidium. Wine produced from the grape has a characteristic dark tint and light plummy taste.

Bersano - Riserva

The Nebbiolo has a lovely earthy bouquet. The nose has cherries, dark cherries, tar and slight dried rose notes. Complex and layered. Nice acidity. Medium tannins still present. Cherries on the palate too. Nice finish. Great food wine. Nebbiolo is a fickle grape famed as much for its pale appearance as for its tannic character and produces some of the most perfumed and richly flavored wines. Though generally only medium-bodied, the wines possess rose and anise scented aromatics and deep flavors of cherry, orange peel and subtle green herb tones.

Conti Ermanno

The 1964 Conti Ermano Traversana is a firm-bodied and well-structured red, displaying a garnet-red color, aromas of violets and sweet spices, and notes of pomegranates on the finish. The high levels of acidity are deemed its secret ingredient, contributing to the ageing potential of the wine and its easy-drinking nature, making it one of Italy's longest-lived reds.

Vietti

Barolo is known as the 'king of wines' and is made from the Nebbiolo grape. Heady aromas of rose, leather, vanilla, cherry, pepper, cranberry, strawberry. Fruits are perfectly knitted with the tannins and acidity. It's a powerful wine but remarkably subtle. Don't underestimate it and certainly serve it with food to show at it's best. Nebbiolo has naturally high tannins and acidity, so it will take on full-flavoured, rich foods no problem at all.


Vietti is an Italian winery located in the Piemonte region, specifically in the commune of Castiglione Falletto. It's widely regarded as one of the top producers of Barolo, a prestigious red wine made from the Nebbiolo grape variety. …
