MAY DAY Wine is Here!
Y'all know that our club is everyday drinking, individually spectacular wines that are simply delicious... BUT every so often I work my magic and get a really special something in there!! We've marked it with a ⭐️ in your box and we're so excited to offer you something that is half the cost of your membership box - in one bottle!
Tacchino Du Riva Dolcetto d'Ovada Superiore DOCG Made as intentionally and as exceptionally as the King of Piedmont, Barolo, this highly priced, prized, aged, and appreciated dolcetto is a great showcase of the incredible deal you get each month as a member!
Producer highlight this month:
At Roccafiore, Leonardo and Luca Baccarelli aim to make wine with a true sense of place. They say that "'land' is not merely soil but the inspiration for advancement with beauty as the lynch pin, as a tangible sign of respect for the community". Acting from true dialogue between head and heart, their viticulture is rooted in belonging, identity and character... knowing that truly good fruit comes from harmony in place.
FEATURED WINES INCLUDE:
TXAKOLI PRIMO ⭐️ (what says spring better than txakoli?! perfectly lime zesty, touch salty, zippy, clean, with a zip of spice. low abv makes it the perfect porch pounder)
ROCCAFIORE GRECHETTO ⭐️ (gorgeously mature yet light on its feet, this grechetto showcases the intentionally harvested and patient maturing of Roccafiore. elegant, yet refined, this Gambero Rosso Tre Bicchieri winner [highest award of Italy's wine rating system], is in it's ideal drinking window - so crack open and enjoy with your next meal or charcuterie)
ROCCAFIORE SANGIOVESE ⭐️ (your new favorite pizza, pasta, anything wine! you'll taste the intentionality and pureness of fruit is just this simple sangiovese, it makes all the difference!)
DU RIVA DOLCETTO D'OVADA ⭐️ (did I brag about this enough above? Another Gambero Rosso winner, this one best in wine for 13 years in a row. 'du riva' means two sides of a hill which creates a little amphitheater and the best of the best pick goes in this wine. open-air fermentation and then aged in a mixture of large barrique, cherry, and chestnut for a vintage-specific amount of time until it meets the winemaker's idea of perfection)
HURLUBURLU ⭐️ (my initial thoughts? "juicy, wild, yummm." literally meaning "eccentric", hurluburlu's 15th generation winemaker is going out of the AOC Bourgueil's norm to make 100% carbonic cabernet franc in a friendly, lifted, quaffable way to showcase what cab franc can do)
LEZAUN TEMPRANILLO ⭐️ (in a land of large co-ops and selling grapes in Navarra, this 1780s established family winery remains small and true to place by passing wisdom down from generation to generation. continuing minimal intervention, even low SO2, this grenache-tempranillo will showcase the personality of the vineyard it came from)
