Sangiovese from a small parcel (Vigna Monsignore, 0.50 hectare) in the heart of Montalcino.

Fruit from a 25-year old vineyard parcel… Read more »

SUADELA’s second Rapsodia in Rosso celebrates the best of Italy’s north, south and center – for each comprising the very best expressions of the 2018 vintage.

Riccardo Cotarella orchestrated in his own family cantina an exotic and truly… Read more »
This Barolo again originates from a very small vineyard parcel (0.30 hectare) called Lu Snert, in the commune of Novello in the Langhe.
