Inama Vin Soave Classico DOC 2023
Inama
Inama has been one of the key estates in Soave's quality revolution, proving that Garganega on volcanic soil can produce wines of genuine complexity and ageability. This 2023 vintage is drinking beautifully now—precise, mineral-driven, and effortlessly refreshing. A reminder that great white wine doesn't need to cost a fortune or carry a famous appellation.
Nose
Clean and bright with white peach, apple, and a citrus-blossom lift. Beneath the fruit, a subtle almond quality and chalky minerality from the volcanic soils of the Classico zone.
Palate
Crisp acidity frames flavors of green apple, lemon zest, and honeydew melon. A gentle floral note and saline mineral thread run through the mid-palate, adding dimension. The texture is lean but not austere, with just enough weight to feel complete.
Finish
Clean and refreshing with lingering citrus, a mineral snap, and a faint bitter almond note that keeps you reaching for the next sip.

Domaine des Huards Cour-Cheverny AOC Romo 2023
Domaine des Huards
Cour-Cheverny is the only AOC in France dedicated to the ancient Romorantin grape, and Domaine des Huards is its finest ambassador. This is a wine of place — the chalky soils and continental climate write themselves into every glass. If you've never tried Romorantin, this is where to start.
Domaine Weinbach Riesling Grand Cru Furstentum 2022
Domaine Weinbach
The Faller family's Grand Cru Furstentum Riesling showcases one of Alsace's warmest and most powerful sites, yet the 2022 vintage maintains stunning freshness. This is Riesling at its most complete — aromatic, textured, mineral, and built for the table.
Pietradolce Etna Bianco DOC 2023
Pietradolce
Pietradolce's Carricante vines grow at 700 meters on Etna's north face, rooted in millennia of lava flow. Winemaker Michele Faro handles the fruit with restraint — stainless steel only, no malolactic — letting the grape and the volcano speak. The result is one of Italy's most compelling white wines at a price that borders on absurd for this level of quality.
Benanti Etna Bianco Superiore Pietra Marina 2022
Benanti
Pietra Marina is arguably Sicily's greatest white wine, and the 2022 vintage continues the tradition. Carricante from Etna's highest vineyards delivers a rare combination of power and precision — it has the depth to age but the freshness to drink now. If you want to understand what volcanic soil tastes like in a glass, start here.
