Wine Advocate writes: “Tones of chocolate, hickory smoke, prune, cinnamon cake, black plum, root beer, crushed granite and licorice have the bright intensity of primary colors on a painters’ wheel. The mouthfeel is solid, thickly concentrated and delightfully sweet... Almost indestructible, a wine like this will age longer than most. (ML)” (10/2013)

Tommaso Bussola Amarone della Valpolicella Classico is a bold and luxurious expression of the traditional Amarone style, crafted by one of the leading producers in the Valpolicella region. Known for his meticulous attention to detail and innovative approach, Tommaso Bussola creates Amarone wines that are both powerful and refined. The wine is made from carefully selected Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, and other native grapes, dried using the traditional "appassimento" method to concentrate the flavors and intensity before fermentation. The result is a deeply concentrated wine with an intense bouquet of dried cherries, plums, figs, and dark chocolate, accented by notes of spice, tobacco, and licorice. On the palate, it is full-bodied and rich, with velvety tannins, balanced acidity, and layers of ripe dark fruit, dried herbs, and hints of earthiness. The long, warming finish reveals the wine’s complexity and aging potential, making it both opulent and elegant. This Amarone pairs beautifully with rich, hearty dishes such as braised meats, game, or aged cheeses, and can also be enjoyed on its own as a meditative wine.

Foss Marai is based in Guia, a village in the Valdobbiadene hills, where the family-run estate specializes in sparkling wine. This Ultrabrut Prosecco carries the Brut designation and comes from Veneto, the northeastern Italian region at the center of Prosecco production.

The straight Pieropan Soave Classico is one of the absolute best values in the entire wine world and the fantastic 2025 even brings it up a notch, starting with intense aromas of white spring flower, exotic fruit, citrus, crushed stone and wild herb aromas that almost leap from the glass.

Nestled at the foot of the Asiago plateau in the Veneto region lies the Breganze DOC, an area rich in volcanic history and home to the spectacular Contrà Soarda estate. The name translates to "hamlet on the slope," which perfectly describes the Gottardi family’s breathtaking operation. Pioneers of sustainable viticulture, they constructed a gravity-fed, bio-architecture winery built entirely inside the volcanic hillside to blend into the landscape and naturally regulate temperature. Their vineyards are planted on ancient volcanic tuff and basalt, which provides the ultimate stage for the rare, indigenous Vespaiolo grape. For centuries, Vespaiolo—named after the wasps (vespe) that swarm the vineyards to feast on the sugar-rich berries—was primarily dried to make the famous sweet wine, Torcolato. However, the Gottardi family are masters at showcasing the grape's thrilling potential as a dry white wine. Because Vespaiolo naturally retains sky-high acidity, the volcanic soil acts as a perfect counterweight, adding texture and a profound, savory backbone. In the glass, it shines with a brilliant golden-yellow hue. The nose is a striking blend of acacia flowers, white peach, and citrus zest, anchored by a deep, smoky flintiness. On the palate, it is electric and commanding, with a laser-focused mineral tension and a classic bitter-almond finish. It is the ultimate pairing for the region's famous white asparagus from Bassano, or an elegant seafood risotto.

The 2024 Folonari Pinot Grigio is a classic, easy-drinking white from one of Italy's most recognized producers. The nose is fresh and delicate, featuring green apple, citrus, and hints of white flowers. On the palate, it is light-bodied and crisp, offering a clean, straightforward profile of lemon and honeyed pear with vibrant acidity. The finish is short and refreshing, making it a highly versatile and "gluggable" option. This 1.5L format is a benchmark "party bottle" that pairs perfectly with simple salads, light seafood, or casual appetizers.

The 2019 Amarone della Valpolicella seduces with a darkly alluring blend of violet pastille and autumnal spice, giving way to crushed blueberries and a dusting of cocoa. It displays depths of ripe red berry fruits inflected by nuances of blood orange and mocha, while a core of zesty acidity maintains fantastic balance. Staining and long, it is also gently tannic, leaving a tart citrus tinge that adds a classic bitter bite. The 2019 is harmonious to the core, with a modest 4 grams of residual sugar. Fantastic. (EG)

The 2025 Le Fraghe Bardolino is an absolute masterclass in high-toned, alpine-influenced red wine that showcases the pure, unmanipulated potential of the eastern shores of Lake Garda. Matilde Poggi—a fierce champion of the region's historic grapes—crafts this stunning, organically farmed blend of Corvina (80%) and Rondinella (20%) from morainic, limestone-rich soils in Cavaion Veronese.

The 2025 Andreola Col del Forno Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore from the Rive di Refrontolo is a chiseled, single-vineyard sparkling wine that shatters mass-market Prosecco stereotypes. Grown on steep clay and limestone slopes, it is finished with a low dosage to let the raw terroir speak. The wine pours with an exceptionally fine, creamy bead, opening with clean aromas of crunchy green apple, white peach, acacia blossoms, and wet stone. On the palate, it balances a smooth texture with a sharp, driving spine of vertical acidity. It finishes bone-dry and intensely sapid, leaving lingering notes of citrus peel and a refreshing trace of bitter almond skin.

Bright pale straw. Green apples, pears and freshly cut flowers on the nose and palate, with complicating hints of powdered stone and ginger. Offers beautiful balance and a soft fruity mouth-feel while remaining energetic and focused on the long and creamy finish. This is deeper and more complex than the Crede but lacks that wine’s utterly beguiling charm. (ID)

Aromas of lychee, botanical herb, summer orchard fruit and wet stone come to the forefront on the stunning 2024 Soave Classico Calvarino. Even in an extremely challenging vintage like 2024, it shows its trademark of class, finesse, depth and mineral-driven tension, delivering flavors of white peach, honeydew melon, lemon drop and saline mineral notes before closing on a hint of honeyed almond. Vibrant acidity keeps it energized and balanced. One of Italy's most age-worthy whites, this will offer a decade or more of fine sipping. (KO)

Roberto Anselmi is a legendary renegade in the Veneto. In the year 2000, frustrated by the lax regulations and mass-produced mediocrity of the Soave DOC, he made the radical decision to declassify all his world-class wines to simple Veneto IGT status. He chose to rely on the undisputed quality of his terroir and his meticulous farming rather than a compromised appellation name. The "Capitel Croce" is his masterpiece—a single-vineyard expression of 100% Garganega grown on ancient, pure volcanic tuff. What sets this wine apart is the winemaking: unlike most Garganega, it is fermented and aged in French oak barrels. Because of the incredible density and acidity derived from the volcanic soil, the wine absorbs the oak seamlessly, resulting in a white wine of profound structure and longevity. It pours a deep, glowing gold. The nose is a complex tapestry of baked apple, chamomile, apricot, and toasted almond, underpinned by a distinct, smoky flintiness. On the palate, it is rich, creamy, and enveloping, yet perfectly balanced by a driving mineral tension. This is a white wine for red wine drinkers, demanding rich dishes like lobster, truffle risotto, or veal scallopini.

Bardolino Chiaretto takes its name from “chiaro,” meaning light or pale, and belongs to a rosé tradition rooted on the eastern shore of Lake Garda. This 2025 Classico comes from Bardolino’s historic production zone in Veneto, where Corvina typically forms the foundation of the appellation’s wines.

The NV Extra Dry Prosecco Superiore holds nothing back with an extroverted bouquet of sweet exotic spice, vanilla bean and crushed apples.

While this tapers off a bit shorter than expected, it’s crisp and wonderfully refreshing. (EG)

The 2025 Bisol "Crede" Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG Brut is a chiseled, incredibly precise masterclass in steep-slope viticulture that effortlessly elevates the reputation of the appellation. Sourced from choice estate vineyards carving across the precipitous, amphitheater hills of Valdobbiadene, the name "Crede" refers to the local dialect for the ancient, marine-derived clay-limestone soils that define this specific zone. Masterfully blended from Glera (with small additions of Pinot Bianco and Verdisiso), it is vinified with meticulous care in pressurized stainless steel tanks (Metodo Martinotti) to preserve the pristine, high-toned floral snap of the terroir.

The 2024 Andreola Akelum Asolo Prosecco Superiore Brut shifts the focus to the rugged, historic hills of the Asolo DOCG south of the Piave river.

The nose is high-toned and complex, leading with crunchy green pear, white peach, and jasmine, backed by an intense undertone of wild sage and damp river stones.

On the palate, it is light-bodied and impeccably crisp, driven by a fine, persistent perlage that carries the vibrant fruit and refreshing acidity across the palate. The finish is clean, bone-dry, and delightfully zesty. This is a perfect, guilt-free aperitivo or a versatile partner for light fare.

The 2025 Andreola Aldaina al Mas Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Rive di Guia is a piercingly dry, intellectual single-vineyard sparkling wine. Sourced from heroically steep hillsides in the Guia commune, these old Glera vines are rooted in deep clay and limestone soils. Vinified as an uncompromising Extra Brut, the zero-sugar profile lets the raw, chiseled skeleton of the site shine without any cosmetic sweetness. It pours with a fine, persistent bead, offering laser-sharp aromas of tart green apple, white currant, wild thyme, and a distinct chalky mineral dust. The palate is a model of svelte verticality, driven by a racy, electric spine of natural acidity. It finishes bone-dry, intensely sapid, and mouth-watering, leaving a lingering, stony trail of salt-rimmed citrus oils.

La Rocca is entirely Garganega from the limestone and clay soils of Monte Rocchetta, behind Soave's medieval castle. Pieropan first released this single-vineyard Soave Classico in 1978. For 2024, Pieropan reports selective picking as September rains returned; the estate completed harvest by October 20. The cuvée's cellar regimen includes about a year on fine lees in French and Slavonian oak, with regular lees stirring before bottling.

Andreola "Mas De Fer" Rive di Soligo Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore is a stunning example of the heights Prosecco can reach when created with dedication and a close connection to the land. Andreola is a family-run winery founded in 1984 by Nazzareno Pola and has been a leader in showcasing the best of Valdobbiadene. Today the winery is guided by his son Stefano Pola and the estate continues the tradition of producing high-quality Prosecco wines while embracing modern winemaking techniques. The "Mas de Fer", a prized sub-area within Valdobbiadene, consists of grapes grown on the steep slopes of the Rive di Soligo. The word "river" refers to the region's steepest and most challenging vineyards, which must be harvested by hand due to the difficulty of using machinery. These hills contain ancient glacial clays and alluvial soils that give the wines outstanding minerality and complexity. The altitude helps gain freshness by the cool mountain air. It also helps the grapes ripen, increasing the intensity of the aromas and freshness of the grapes. This wine is an expression of the elegance of these unique conditions. It has bright aromas of green apple, pear and white peach with subtle floral and citrus notes. The bubbles on the palate are subtle and long-lasting. This creates a creamy texture that balances the wine's bright acidity with a clean, mineral flavour. For those interested in Prosecco that goes beyond stability, Andreola "Mas de Fer" offers a complex experience that captures the essence of the terroir. Perfect as an aperitif or paired with seafood, a light salad, or creamy cheeses.

This has become a go-to favorite for customers and staff alike at K&L. Priced at a level that allows for corks to pop any time it suits you, the Montechiara phenomenon continues to gain followers by the day. See for yourself why this value sparkler is getting so much attention.

Wickedly fresh, this leaves a steely concentration as hints of sour lime fade through the dramatically long finish. (Lot: 08055031) (EG)

From the famous Veronese bar Archivio comes Volume Primo Vermouth. The brainchild of bartenders and recipe creators, Raffaele and Tommaso, the idea with this release was to produce a fresh, Mediterranean-styled vermouth to use in their bar. A blend of 95% Moscato d’Asti and 5% Grillo Siciliano renders this fortified wine soft and fruity. Partnered with the wonderful Antica Distilleria Quaglio in Piemonte, they're making the most exciting vermouth on the market today. The majority of its herbs come from Distilleria Quaglia’s own fields, located in the hills of Asti. In addition to the classic bittering elements of wormwood and gentian, the ingredient list of botanicals includes fresh thyme, sage, knapwood, chamomile, licorice root, and a touch of vanilla.

Opening with aromas of macerating blackberries in mixed spices both sweet and savory with swirling aromas of tobacco and violets and subtle note of singed sage. The seductive palate draws you deeper into the core of the wine as macerated black cherries and plums define the wine today but savory elements bid there time as hints of bay leaf and black tea develop with time as elegant tannins genuflect, this wine has both charm and intensity. (JP)

“Col fondo” refers to the sediment traditionally retained in Veneto’s bottle-refermented sparkling wines—a link to the region’s longstanding approach to Prosecco. CasePaolin’s 2024 Prosecco Superiore carries this traditional term alongside the Brut Nature designation, which requires less than 3 grams of residual sugar per liter and no sugar added after secondary fermentation.

Alessio Vermouth Chinato is also based on a classic recipe from the late 19th century combined with the additional bittering of Cinchona bark and more than 25 other balancing herbs, including Grande and Petite Wormwood, and reflects an almost-lost style of bitter vermouth. The slightly lower ABV than the Vermouth di Torino Rosso helps highlight this Chinato vermouth's backbone and aromatics, making it a complex alternative to sweet vermouth in cocktails as well as excellent on its own.

This is just absolutely great Cabernet Sauvignon for this price. The fruit on the nose is just a little creamy, the oak is super well integrated into wine. Ripe blackberry, black cherry, just a little bit of dried and fresh herbs. The palate has such a really nice uplifted fruit, black cherry and blackberry are the foremost, but there's also a little strawberry as well, a little bit of those dried and fresh herbs, and then a nice and lingering finish with just a little bit of barrel spice on there. This is such an approachable and easy to drink bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon, and it's really delicious. It's definitely not a huge or explosive bottle, but it's got everything you really need, and it delivers it so pleasantly. As I'm sitting here writing, the finish is still going, and there's just this lovely little toast on the tip of my tongue. I might have to get a few of these.

Monte dei Ragni’s Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva 2015 is a profound and artisanal expression of Amarone, showcasing depth, intensity, and remarkable balance.

The palate is rich yet impeccably structured, offering concentrated dark fruit, velvety tannins, and a deep mineral core, all lifted by fresh acidity. A long, resonant finish lingers with nuances of espresso, licorice, and earthy spice.

The 2020 Diletta Tonello “Io Teti” Lessini Durello Pas Dosé (Metodo Classico) is an absolutely electrifying, high-toned, and structurally uncompromising sparkling wine that offers a masterclass in the fierce, volcanic identity of the Lessini Mountains. Diletta Tonello acts as a vital champion for the rare, indigenous Durella grape, crafting this exceptional cuvée from organically farmed estate plots perched on the steep, wind-swept ridges of Montorso Vicentino. Rooted in a dense matrix of dark volcanic basalt, tufa, and clay, these high-altitude vines thrive on the grape's signature attribute: an almost savage, unyielding natural acidity that remains completely undiminished even in warm growing seasons.

One of two Allegrini wines making their debut on the Place de Bordeaux this year. From an 8ha vineyard at 415m. Richly scented on the nose with a beautiful nuance to the dark fruits, floral scents and sweet spices, all melding together. The texture is so appealing, rich yet smooth and silky, dominating the palate with the flavours of stewed blackcurrants, coffee beans, orange rind, slightly bitter medicinal herbs, juicy balsamic peppery fruit and a beguiling saltiness. It's enveloping in the best way, but still juicy and lively, really leaves a lingering impression on the palate, an absolute lifeforce. Tannins are on the chewy and grippy side, coating the mouth and tongue but the presentation of the flavours is so precise and detailed. This is amazingly good with excellent freshness throughout. 5% Oseleta completes the blend. Ageing 48 months in French oak barriques, 6 months in Slavonian oak. First vintage was 2011 with no 2014 made. (GH)
