Description
Why Elle Loves These Wines:
- Salcheto Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva
This wine brings structure, elegance, and warmth. It’s reminiscent of an old library, dimly lit, with inviting leather chairs. The baked cherry fruit carries you amongst dry roses, fresh tobacco, and velvety tannins to the end of your perfectly inquisitive book. - Vietti Derthona Timorasso
This energetic and zippy pour is perfect for poolside sipping. Lemon peel, pear, and honey dance together on the palate accompanied by crisp mineral overtones. Together, they delight the senses and brighten the mood. - La Giustiniana Lugarara Gavi
This wine is like if you could drink a flower shop. The soft and round profile with notes of white peach and jasmine leaves me feeling like a fluffy bumblebee savoring the most elegant nectar. - Lucci Lambrusco Secco
Chilled reds are the absolute rage this summer and this is my go-to for a vibrant afternoon. Intensely fruity with notes of plum, raspberry, and violet- plus the lively bubbles, elevate the mouthfeel into a tart refreshing treat.
Due to the popularity of this gift, wines or vintages sometimes sell out. Should this happen, we will always substitute with wines of equal or greater value.

Vietti Derthona Timorasso 2023
A layered wine with assertive leesy aromas of lemon peel, lemon leaves, spring flowers, green apples and chalky minerality. Silky texture with zesty acidity, a medium body and a bright, savory finish. Good extraction and an amazing white peach aftertaste.

Salcheto Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva 2020
Dusty rose and cedar shaving scents combine with worn leather and dried black cherry aromas as the 2020 Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva evolves in the glass. This displays silken textures and medium-bodied weight as a solid core of mineral-infused red and blue fruit tones slowly saturates toward the close. Staining and long, the 2020 finishes with a coating of fine-grained tannins and lasting primary concentration. This is much more balanced and complex than I’ve come to expect from the 2020 vintage.

Lucci Lambrusco Secco Aromas of dark berries, cassis sorbet and red flowers. Dry, medium-bodied palate offering fine bubbles and a dusty texture. Vivid and full of life. Sustainable.
