Aldo Viola, Guarini Coccinella 2021
Rotwein
- €19,90
The Guarini Coccinella is the result of Aldo Viola's passion for Syrah. Convinced that the variety could deliver excellent results even in Sicily, if grown in well-ventilated, north-facing locations, he embarked on a search over two decades ago and found the perfect spot in Feudo Guarini, a tiny ...
Aldo Viola, Moretto 2019
Wein
- €21,80
While Syrah plays a significant role also in the Moretto, it shares this status equally with Perricone and Nerello Mascalese. The latter has gained recognition beyond Sicily, thanks to the success stories of Etna wines. Perricone, however, remains relatively unknown, though that will soon change....
Aldo Viola, Plus 2019
Wein
- €27,40
The Guarini Plus is a result of Aldo Viola's passion for Syrah. He was convinced that the variety could produce excellent results in Sicily when grown in well-ventilated, north-facing vineyards. So, over two decades ago, he set out in search of the perfect site and found it in Feudo Guarini, a ti...
Aldo Viola, Saignée 2020
Wein
- €21,80
Although Aldo Viola's home is in Sicily, he frequently looks beyond the island, especially towards France. This is made easier by his personal connection, as he has lived there several times and practically absorbed the language with his mother's milk (his mother is from France). The Saignée is a...
Alla Costiera, Carmenère 2021
Wein
- €14,60
Carmenère originally comes from Bordeaux. There, this red grape variety once contended for the top spot in quality with Cabernet Sauvignon, before disappearing entirely from the French wine region as a consequence of the phylloxera invasion and the difficulty in finding suitable rootstocks for i...
Alla Costiera: Terreni Bianchi Rosso 2021
Rotwein
- €18,60
Filippo Gamba consistently produces top-quality wines, and his two interpretations of the Terreni Bianchi — from white, limestone-rich soil — on the western slopes of the Colli Euganei are excellent examples of this. The white version is taut, direct, and profound, and similar praise can be give...
Ca' de Noci: Brine d'Aprile 2020
Wein
- €24,90
Brine d’Aprile succeeded Il Gheppio in 2020. The latter was primarily based on an old planting of Cabernet Sauvignon vines, but—like many other regions, Emilia is not immune to the invasion of allochthonous insects—it fell victim to the American grapevine leafhopper, which wiped it out completel...
Ca' de Noci: Kyathos del Poggio 2019
Wein
- €21,90
Sgavetta is a grape variety found exclusively around Modena and Reggio Emilia. It was first documented in the late 19th century and has always been described positively in the few records that exist about it. In 1970, a total of 170 hectares were planted with this variety, but by 2010, the area ...
Caprera, Le Vasche 2020
Wein
- €23,80
Vasche, to which Luca Virgilio's Montepulciano pays tribute, are ancient basins that were carved into the rocks around Pietranico thousands of years ago to crush grapes with feet. Although Luca does not do this, he is aware of the long history of viticulture around his winery, which was complete...
Colombera & Garella: Bramaterra 2019
Wein
- €34,90
Bramaterra: A Northern Classic High up in the north, where Piedmont gently knocks on Switzerland’s door, lies Bramaterra, an ancient wine enclave with a winemaking history documented over centuries.

Colombera & Garella: Lessona 2020
Wein
- €34,90
With just 18 hectares of vineyards, Lessona is the smallest of the three DOC zones in which the Colomberas own vineyards. Despite its microscopic dimensions, Lessona has a few special features that set it apart from the other two regions. Firstly, there is the climate, which in some exposures tak...
Colombera & Garella: Melascone 2021
Wein
- €15,90
A few decades ago, Coste della Sesia still had a few hundred hectares of vines, but today there are a whole thirty. The reason for this was not the quality of the wines, which have been repeatedly praised in the annals of local viticulture since the 14th century, but the general rural exodus that...
Colombera & Garella: Vispavola 2021
Wein
- €15,90
Vespolina: A Rare Star in the Spotlight Giacomo Colombera and Cristiano Garella’s latest project shines a spotlight on Vespolina, a grape variety that typically plays a supporting role in the Nebbiolo blends of northern Piedmont. This time, however, Vespolina takes center stage—and it’s no surpr...
