Antica Torino Vermouth di Torino

Antica Torino is a partnership and project of passion between Vittorio Zoppi and Umbrian wine maker Filippo Antonelli. Rather than seeking out the exotic, often imported botanicals that go into more modern styled vermouth, Antica Torino takes a page out of the history books, a time when vermouth was created utilizing what was readily available locally.

Antinori Solaia 2015

The nose of this Solaia is truly phenomenal with currants, blackberries, rose and violets. So perfumed. Full bodied and everything is in check and harmony with polished tannins that last for minutes. Purity and focus. Is it the greatest Solaia ever? So drinkable already, but this is a wine for ages ahead.

Antonio Soave 2020

Hailing from the lower slopes of the Dolomites are the wines of Antonio Fattori. Locally regarded as exceptionally talented in cultivating Garganega and Pinot Grigio and producing wines that speak of the place they came from. The Soave is top notch and a great value for the dollars. Peachy stone fruit and zesty citrus, with a hint of green almond and sea-spray minerality.

Azienda Agricola Cos Vittoria Rosso 2019

Nero d'Avola 60%, Frappato 40%

Founded in 1980 by three friends, COS is today synonymous with Cerasuolo di Vittoria.

In 2019, this wine is labelled as "Rosso", and not "Cerasuolo di Vittoria Classico DOCG", because according to the DOCG rules the wine must be 13% alc or more, and in 2019 it is only 12.5%. Exactly same grapes, winemaking etc, just not approved by the DOCG due to the alcohol.

Azienda Agricola Giovanni Sordo Barolo Gabutti 2015 Magnum

No chance to mistake this, with its abundance of darker things; stock, porcini, graphite, smoke and black cherry. Under this very typical Serralunga 'tarry/earthy' mantle though, are other complexities of dried roses, orange and spices. The firm and enlivening structure of a great Serralunga is here to underpin all this. Strong black tea tannins at present. All components are here.
