Agnese

Intense and intricate wine with a deep, soft texture, boasting a rich, fruity aroma with touches of inky fruit and floral spice. On the palate, the wine displays a consistent evenness of blackberry and plum flavors, matched by the nuanced nuances of cacao, black pepper, and floral citrus. The tannins are well-integrated, providing a velvety and rewarding follow through that stays with fruit and mineral notes. even as it shows promise, it benefits from a few years in the bottle to fully integrate its rich notes and aromas.

Poncin

Smooth and sophisticated wine with a rich, velvety mouthfeel that effortlessly glides across the palate, its tannins expertly well integrated by a harmonious interplay of brightness and dryness. A limited production of 6,000 bottles per year, this wine is a true gem, with a sophisticated scent that showcases the finest oak, blackberry, blueberry, earthy, tobacco, and black olive notes, all just right in harmony. Paired with a sumptuous goatling and thyme risotto, this wine is a masterclass in elegance and refinement.
