Vietti Roero Arneis 2023
Vietti
Vietti's Roero Arneis showcases why this once-obscure Piedmontese grape has earned its own DOCG. The wine balances orchard fruit and mineral tension with real charm. It's serious enough to pair with food but refreshing enough to open on the porch.
Nose
White peach and green apple open cleanly, followed by honeysuckle, a subtle almond note, and a mineral chalkiness. There's a delicate floral lift that adds elegance.
Palate
Crisp and textured with citrus and green apple at the core. A gentle honeyed richness develops at mid-palate, balanced by bright acidity and a pleasant, slightly bitter almond finish that's characteristic of the Arneis grape.
Finish
Medium with lingering citrus, mineral freshness, and a whisper of marzipan.

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.
