2019 Musella - Valpolicella DOC Superiore
Exotic to the core, the 2019 Valpolicella Superiore seduces with a bouquet of fresh mint, crushed wild berries, spiced orange rinds and menthol. It's racy and lifted on the palate with mineral-tinged strawberries and hints of citrus. This finishes with...
2015 Musella - Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG Riserva
Made with organic and biodynamic fruit, the Musella 2015 Amarone della Valpolicella offers a lot of brightness, intensity and the sort of fruit-forward intensity and exuberance that I always associate with the warm and sunny 2015 vintage. The wine shows a...
2007 Musella - Amarone della Valpolicella Senza Titolo
2022 Obiz - Pinot Grigio Friuli
This direct import was "discovered" for us by the same broker who sells us Pasquiers. A small family-run operation
With 40 ha in DOC Friuli, they care about the bees (SNQP = sustainable certification for the wines / close to organic certification/ and also for workers ).
They are located in Friuli Venezia Giulia.
From our friends at the winery:
"The lower Friuli area is a landscape particularly favourable to the cultivation of vine. This is possible due to the proximity to the Adriatic Sea that mitigates the temperatures, but also due to the presence of the mountain range of the Julian Prealps that divert the cold northern currents away"

2021 Passopisciaro - Sicilia Rosso DOC Contrada Porcaria
A complex and dusty blend of dried cherries, cloves, cedar shavings and sage are lifted by a hint of menthol as the 2021 Contrada Porcaria (P) comes to life in the glass. This is deeply textural, with a wave of pure silk ushering in masses of mineral-t...
2021 Passopisciaro - Sicilia Rosso DOC Contrada Rampante
The 2021 Contrada Rampante (R) grumbles up from the glass, youthfully backward, dusty and dark with a core of dried black cherries and autumnal spice that comes forward with coaxing. This is far more lifted and feminine than expected. Tart red berry fr...
2021 Passopisciaro - Terre Siciliane Rosso IGT Contrada Guardiola
The prestige of Guardiola shines bright as the 2021 Contrada (G) opens in the glass. This is dark and intense, with a vivid burst of black raspberry complicated by ashen stones, earth tones, sage and mint. It’s elegant, with velvety textures yet a lift...
