Cosimo Taurino Notarpanaro Rosso 2013
$25.00Add to cartThis wine is an easy recommendation and hopped right out the gates as a staff favorite (especially for Will) showing that no matter the price point you can find wines with depth and soul.
Hailing from Lecce in Puglia (the heel of the Italian boot) where most wine is made in bulk to be drunk out of a jug comes a wine that’s rustic and earthy while still being classic and elegant. This is Grand Cru Puglia, a diamond in the rough?
Cosimo Taurino takes his wines seriously, holding them back for years to tame the tannins and allow them to harmonize in the bottle. This current release is a 2012!

Mercante Primitivo Appassimento Private Reserve 2021
$36.00Add to cartThis is a warm hug of a southern Italian wine. It’s juicy and fruit-forward but still soft, velvety, and smooth. We’d say it’s an explosion of flavor like red cherry, raspberry, and a bit of cinnamon just like the other wine from Mercante, however this wine is partially appassimento, which is a technique for partially drying the grapes after picking, leaving them more honeyed and rich than before.
