Vallepicciola stands for modern, clearly defined red wines from Tuscany and interprets Pievasciata in an international style with a strong regional connection. Its origin lies in Pievasciata near Castelnuovo Berardenga in the southern Chianti area, where calcareous and clay-rich soils with Alberese and marl support both structure and freshness. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Sangiovese shape the blend, combining dark fruit, spice and Tuscan tension. In the 1.5-litre Magnum format, the wine gains additional presence and is particularly well suited to larger tables as well as longer bottle ageing.Dark fruit nuances recall black berries, complemented by balsamic and spicy notes as well as a subtle oak influence from ageing. The structure is full and balanced, supported by freshness, integrated tannins and a calm, dense texture. The Magnum bottle underlines the representative character of this Toscana Rosso IGT and suits hearty meat dishes as well as aged cheese.
With tireless dedication, the Bologna family fulfils the legacy of Giacomo Bologna, who is rightly described as the father of modern Barbera d'Asti. The historic jewel of the house is the Bricco dell'Uccellone: dense and complex on the nose, tannic and persistent on the palate, with an excellent structure and beautiful acidity and flavour persistence.
The Bologna family has been successfully producing wine in Monferrato for around half a century. And their Braida winery has always been one of the most outstanding wineries in Piedmont. With the siblings Raffaella and Giuseppe Bologna, the third generation has taken over the management of the family business. The two oenologists combine modern knowledge with tradition in their work. In the 1980s, their father Giacomo Bologna broke new ground in the handling of the Barbera grape by daring to age it in barriques for the first time and giving the red variety the status of a noble grape. The name of the winery goes back to the grandfather of the current estate owners, Giuseppe Bologna, who once earned the nickname "Braida" playing ball games on village courts.

- HOW TO LIST THE WINE IN THE WINE LIST
"Fashion Victim" Moscato Rosé - Astoria
Astoria Wines, run by Paolo and Filippo Polegato, is one of the leading representatives of the Prosecco style. Astoria was founded in 1987 by a long-established family of winegrowers and is today the largest private producer of Conegliano-Valdobbiadene DOCG, whose products have been acclaimed at the most important oenological competitions.
The Val del Brun winery is the beating heart of Astoria: forty hectares of vineyards in the picturesque hilly landscape of Prosecco, which was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2019. The company also contributes to the protection of this unique landscape by adopting the Vignes fleuries protocol (2014) and the SQNPI certification (National Quality System for Integrated Production, 2018).
Welcome to the Astoria Wines universe, where nature, pleasure and ideals play an important role.Ecological awareness and environmental protection are essential elements for Astoria that have contributed to the company's thirty years of success.
With its forward-looking vision, Astoria Wines protects and nurtures the terroir and ensures sustainability, environmental protection and health. In 2014, the company adopted the Vignes fleuries protocol, which was introduced by experienced French winegrowers and provides for a reduction in vine treatments. Astoria Wines was the first company in the Conegliano-Valdobbiadene wine region to obtain the SQNPI (National Quality System for Integrated Production) certification, which has been recognisable by the bee symbol on the bottles of Prosecco Superiore since the 2018 vintage.
Thanks to the meticulous work of its technicians and winemakers, Astoria Wines processes 70,000 quintals of grapes every year in a winery dedicated exclusively to winemaking and represents the Treviso area with a wide range of wines, but also supplies the best wine bars and restaurants worldwide.The Astoria universe is characterised by its aesthetics and its fresh, appealing and balanced communication, as well as its clear and highly recognisable style, which has been awarded prizes in numerous wine packaging competitions.
Astoria Wines really has the talent to reach the public, to impress them with its brilliant and creative ideas and to stay ahead of the times thanks to its innovations. The Astoria Wines brand has firmly established itself on the market and is not afraid to take bold steps: in 2010, the company shocked the wine industry by presenting a low-alcohol sparkling wine in a white lacquered bottle for the first time. Although it was not a Prosecco DOC, the 9.5 Cold Wine beat its competitors in the category and won the two highest awards at the Vinitaly international oenological competition and the Forum Spumanti.Astoria Wines is not a classic wine producer, but the dynamic expression of a past that merges with the present and the future, the emblem of a colourful and modern style that stands for commitment, quality, festivity and enthusiasm.
Astoria has been working with the world of sport since the 1990s, supporting the Cittadella Calcio club and the Virtus Segafredo Bologna basketball club. Astoria has also long been a sponsor of the Giro d'Italia cycling race and sees sport as an opportunity to promote the universal values of equality and integration, as well as a weapon against hatred, racism and violence. Exemplary examples of this are the Astoria No Borders tournament, the Nova Facility football team made up of asylum seekers, the I Have a Dream campaign inspired by Martin Luther King's famous motto, the sponsorship of the Togo national team for the 2006 World Cup in Germany, the collaboration with former Inter Milan footballer Ramiro Cordoba and his Colombia Te Quiere Ver foundation.
The desire for equal fundamental rights and justice is also behind the still active collaboration with Venezia and Treviso Pride, an association that brought the first Gay Pride to Treviso in 2016 to promote greater tolerance and sensitise people.
Palazzo della Torre comes from the estate that includes Villa della Torre, a jewel from the Italian Renaissance. The wine is produced using the Ripasso technique: Most of the grapes are turned into wine during the harvest, the remaining part is dried. In January, the wine produced begins a second fermentation together with the crushed, dried grapes.
Notes on the tasting
Due to the RIPASSO, the wine shows a special structure and aromaticity, combined with an elegant, harmonious profile. It is complex with a pleasant hint of sultanas and a long, lingering aftertaste. It can be aged for 8-10 years.
The 365 Toscana Rosso IGT originates from Pievasciata near Castelnuovo Berardenga, in the southern part of the Chianti Classico area within the province of Siena. The vineyards lie at around 440 metres above sea level and benefit from limestone and clay soils with marl components, lending the wine structure and freshness. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Sangiovese are harvested and selected by hand. The vintage is regarded as one of the most balanced of the past decade, shaped by moderate summer temperatures and pronounced day night temperature differences that significantly extended the ripening period.
Fermentation takes place in concrete at a controlled temperature of 22 degrees, followed by extended skin contact and malolactic fermentation in cement. Ageing in barriques with a high proportion of new oak over 24 months adds depth and precision without masking the sense of place. Aromatically, the wine shows dark berries, cassis, fine herbal notes and subtle roasted nuances. On the palate it is concentrated, structured and focused, with ripe tannins and a long, mineral driven finish. A long lived Toscana Rosso combining international style with Tuscan character.
In the Chianti area around Castelnuovo Berardenga, Vallepicciola builds this Toscana IGT on Sangiovese, supported by international varieties such as Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. After selective harvesting and temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel, the wine matures in French barriques. Bottling in the 1.5-litre magnum format supports slower ageing and greater stability over time.
Ripe cherry and dark berries define the profile, accompanied by subtle spice and a measured oak influence. The structure remains balanced with integrated tannins and fresh acidity. The magnum is particularly suited to extended cellaring and larger gatherings, and pairs with braised meats, pasta with ragù or aged hard cheeses.
912 de Altitud 12 Months from Bodegas Veganzones originates from high altitude vineyards at around 912 metres in Castilla y León. The Tempranillo grapes are hand harvested and carefully selected. Ageing takes place for twelve months in French and American oak barrels, building structure and depth while preserving the character of origin.
The altitude shapes the style with freshness and clarity. Dark fruit, subtle spice and present yet integrated tannins define the profile. The extended oak ageing adds density and stability. This structure pairs naturally with grilled beef or slow braised lamb.

912 de Altitud 9 Months from Bodegas Veganzones is produced in high altitude vineyards at around 912 metres in Castilla y León. The Tempranillo grapes are hand harvested and carefully selected. Ageing takes place for nine months in French and American oak barrels, building structure without overshadowing the origin.
The altitude gives the wine freshness and definition, supported by clear dark fruit and finely integrated tannins. The oak adds subtle spice and supports the texture. This profile pairs naturally with grilled lamb or traditional Castilian dishes.

Tempranillo, known locally as Tinto Fino in the Ribera del Duero appellation, defines this red wine from Castilla y León, sourced from old vines across several villages. Bodegas AALTO combines these diverse vineyard sites into a cuvée with a clear expression of origin. Vinification is carried out parcel by parcel, with manual harvesting, temperature-controlled fermentation and ageing for around 16 months in French and American oak.
Ripe dark fruit, cherry and subtle spice are layered with fine toasted notes and a firm, precise tannin structure. The balance between density and freshness ensures clarity and length.
As is typical of Tempranillos from the Ribera del Duero, very intense colouring. Fresh, floral and fruity on the nose - characteristic of this still young wine. Wood flavours, liquorice and the typical spicy note. In the mouth, it shows the intensity of a great vintage with well-integrated fruit, wood, alcohol, acidity and tannins.
Vinification: Matured for 20 months in a ratio of 50% new French and 50% three-year-old American and French oak barrels.

Petit Verdot is the most exotic of the Bordeaux grape varieties and the basis of the original wine. This grape variety is normally used in small proportions to give other grape varieties a twist. Abadia Retuerta has utilised the full potential of this variety to create this original and unique single-varietal wine. This elegant wine matured for 24 months in oak barrels, the grapes of which come from a special terroir with predominantly sandy soil. It is just a pity that the production of this Petit Verdot with its exquisite character is limited.Almost black in colour with violet reflections. Elegant and subtle on the nose, not intrusive but complex with hints of mocha. Soft and supple on the palate, immediately develops powerful and intense flavours of fresh and candied fruit with hints of roasted coffee, tobacco smoke, burnt caramel and crusty bread. Firm body, well structured and a long, silky finish.
Abadía Retuerta Selección Especial comes from Sardón de Duero in Castilla y León, on the Abadía Retuerta estate west of Valladolid. It is built as a selection from individually vinified estate parcels, assembled only after internal tastings into a final blend shaped for clarity, balance and site expression.
The style is dark fruited and precise, with savoury spice and a firm but measured tannin line. Oak is integrated and used for texture and length rather than overt sweetness, keeping the finish focused and composed. Works well with lamb, slow cooked dishes or mushroom based plates.
ABSOLUT VODKA is made exclusively from natural ingredients and, unlike other vodkas, contains no added sugar. Yes, vodka cannot be purer than ABSOLUT. But even this purity has its own particular flavour: rich, full-bodied and complex, yet smooth and velvety with the distinct character of grain, followed by a hint of dried fruit.
Medium-high layer, well-defined drop-shaped cherry red colour, clear and bright varietal aromas with hints of red fruits and ripe blackberries. Wet limestone , which will soon disappear to give way to cedar, pastry tobacco, bread oven, very fine toast, subtle glyceric entry, lactic sensations and pronounced acidity. Great blackberry and toffee acidity.Elaboration Limestone vineyards, manual harvest,
grape selection. 95% Tempranillo, 5% Merlot.
12 months in French barrels. Maceration for 30 days.
From Mendoza at the foothills of the Andes, Gran Nevado is produced by Vinos Adentro, shaped by high-altitude vineyards with strong diurnal temperature variation and mineral-rich soils. Malbec forms the core of the blend, complemented in some vintages by small portions of classic Bordeaux varieties. The grapes are selectively harvested, fermented in stainless steel and aged for several months in oak barriques to build structure and depth.
Dark fruit notes of blackberry and black cherry combine with subtle spice, hints of cocoa and light toasted nuances. The tannins are present yet well integrated, supported by balanced acidity that ensures freshness and length. The powerful yet controlled style pairs well with braised meats and rich dishes.
Selective harvesting and temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel define the style of this Malbec, complemented by partial ageing in oak that adds structure and depth. Vinos Adentro works in Mendoza with a focus on clarity of fruit and accessibility, while the continental climate with strong day-night temperature variation enhances the varietal precision.
Dark berries, ripe plum and a hint of violet shape the profile, accompanied by subtle toasted notes and soft, well-integrated tannins. The balanced acidity provides freshness and leads to a smooth, harmonious finish. Pairs well with grilled meats and hearty South American cuisine.
Argentina has become one of the defining wine countries of the southern hemisphere, with Mendoza forming the centre of viticulture at the foothills of the Andes. ADENTRO Merlot by Vinos Adentro originates from this region. The high altitude vineyards and the strong temperature differences between warm days and cool nights create favourable conditions for structured and expressive red wines. After temperature controlled fermentation, the wine matures in oak barrels, supporting structure and aromatic depth.
The structure is round and balanced with a sense of ripe fruit. Dark cherry, plum and ripe berries define the aromatic profile, accompanied by a subtle touch of spice. Soft tannins and harmonious balance give the wine a calm and approachable style.

''Attracted by the majestic mountains of the Andes, we, Viera Merz and ChristianzGötz, have travelled several times in
to the north-west of Argentina. This included two failed attempts to climb the 6400 Nevado de
Cachi due to the stormy weather.
Fascinated by these mountains and the unspoilt landscape, we decided to buy a piece of land in Cachi Adentro, at the foot of the Nevado de Cachi, in July 2005.
History
After acquiring the land, we devoted ourselves with great attention to detail to the continuous development of the entire
8.25 hectares of vines and 1.5 hectares of nut trees were planted. With the help of our three employees
We have now proudly planted 6 hectares of Malbec, one hectare of Merlot and one hectare of walnut trees.
1.25 hectares of Torrontés vines and have the grapes processed into our fine wine in a modern bodega nearby.
The next project is to build our own bodega. A great challenge to build a bodega far away from civilisation. Since summer 2017, we have been exporting our ADENTRO wines to Switzerland, where we have received very positive feedback.''Christian Götz''
