Tua Rita • Lodano Bianco – 2021
The Tua Rita 2021 Lodano Bianco is 50% Chardonnay, 15% Riesling and 35% Gewürztraminer that sees some brief time in oak in addition to stainless steel. The wine is creamy and soft with generous tones of peach, sweet pear and acacia honey. This medium-bodied white offers an encouraging portrait of the quality fruit we can expect of the upcoming red wines from this iconic estate on the Tuscan coast.

Duemani • Altrovino Merlot Cabernet Franc - 2019
Showing a deep black color and lots of rich concentration, the 2019 Merlot Cabernet Franc Altrovino offers a seamless, vinous quality that allows the wine to glide smoothly over the palate. The texture and mouthfeel of this organic and biodynamic wine are what stand apart, and there is nice freshness to match. Winemaking is in terracotta amphorae, a vessel that winemaker Luca D'Attoma has fully mastered.
