Altos de Torona Albarino Rias Baixas Galicia 2024 750ml Spain
Altos de Torona | Albaríno | O Rosal, Rías Baixas DO | Galicia, Spain | 2024
Altos de Torona is one of Rías Baixas's most distinctive estates, farming the largest single vineyard in the entire region — 94 hectares of Albaríno vines in the O Rosal subzone, the southernmost and most maritime corner of Galicia. The estate practices sustainable viticulture within a rich biodiversity of over 160 species of flora and fauna, a commitment to the land that translates directly into wines of exceptional purity and terroir expression.
Rías Baixas is Spain's premier white wine appellation, situated on the Atlantic coast of Galicia in northwestern Spain. The O Rosal subzone is particularly prized for its proximity to the sea — the Atlantic influence brings cooling breezes, morning mists, and a natural salinity that gives Albaríno from this area its signature mineral freshness and oceanic character. Albaríno is one of the world's great aromatic white grapes, producing wines of vibrant acidity, generous fruit, and a distinctive saline minerality that makes them among the finest seafood wines on earth.
The 2024 Altos de Torona is straw yellow with greenish hues. The nose is fresh and aromatic — reineta apple, citrus, apricot, and toasted notes from aging on lees. On the palate, voluminous and unctuous with restrained acidity, a saline mineral thread, and a subtle, lingering finish. Silver Medal — International Wine Challenge 2025.
A world-class seafood wine. Pair with grilled scallops, steamed cockles, hake, oysters, sushi, light pasta with seafood, and semi-soft or fresh goat cheeses. Serve well chilled at 45–50°F.

Bodegas Chaves Castel De Fornos Albarino Rias Baixas 2024 750ml
Bodegas Chaves Castel de Fornos Albariño — Rías Baixas, Galicia 2024
Bodegas Chaves is a family estate rooted in the granite soils of Galicia, on the Atlantic coast of northwestern Spain. Their Castel de Fornos Albariño takes its name from the first vineyard the family ever planted — a stony, dry hillside slope their ancestors called "Castel," long recognized as a prosperous enclave for growing exceptional Albariño. What sets this bottling apart is the age of the vines: 70+ years old, with deep root systems that draw complexity and concentration from the ancient granite and schist soils beneath.
The 2024 pours a pale gold with green highlights. The nose is classically Atlantic — white peach, lemon zest, fresh grapefruit, and a distinctive saline minerality that speaks directly to the ocean influence of Rías Baixas. On the palate, it's vibrant and precise, with bright acidity, a silky texture from the old vines, and a long, mineral-driven finish. This is Albariño at its most expressive and site-specific.

Pedro Mendez As Abeleiras Vino Brando de Parcelas Rias Baixas 2019 750ml
The As Abeleiras “Viño branco de parcela” (Albariño) is released a year after the entry-level Albariño and comes from a single parcela planted in 1993 by a very young Pedro and his father. It sits at 100 meters altitude, also on granite soil. While the 2019 version was raised in steel, this year spent time in old French oak barrels.
While the other two Albariños have a broad band of expressions and roundness due to the diversity of the many vineyard parcels in each wine, this single vineyard’s uniqueness offers a more vertical than horizontal experience. While the other two would be great for a bigger party of people because they jump into the mosh pit and start knocking people out on the first swing, As Abeleiras is initially more snug and better suited for a two-person tango.
While the others are wonderful in their way, this is the thinker, the wine to observe and admire for its singularity, focused austerity, and tight, chalky and grippy texture. It’s a minerally beam of light. The others are mineral bombs.
Allegrini Palazzo Della Torre Veronese 2023 750ml
Allegrini · Palazzo della Torre · Veronese IGT · Veneto, Italy · 2023 · 750ml
Allegrini is one of the Veneto's most important wine families, with roots in Fumane di Valpolicella stretching back to the 16th century. Palazzo della Torre is their signature Veronese IGT — a wine that has quietly become one of Italy's great overachievers. Blended from Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, and a touch of Sangiovese, it undergoes a partial ripasso-style process: a portion of the grapes are dried before fermentation, adding concentration, depth, and structure that punch well above the wine's price point. The result is a bottle that drinks like an Amarone's younger sibling — at a fraction of the cost. At $20.99, this is the Italian red you reach for when you want to impress without overthinking it.
Deep ruby in the glass with a generous, dark-fruited nose of black cherry, blackberry, ash, incense, and a hint of dark chocolate. On the palate: full-bodied and richly textured, with lush fruit framed by graphite, crisp acidity, and tight, youthful tannins that give the wine real structure and aging potential. James Suckling awarded it 93 points for the 2023 vintage. Drink now through 2029, or cellar for a few years to let the tannins soften and the complexity deepen. Pair with braised short ribs, lamb ragu, aged pecorino, or a simple plate of charcuterie.

Elvio Cogno Barolo Cascina Nuova 2020 750ml
Expert Reviews - Vintage 2020
The Wine Spectator 95 Points | This is supple and complex, delivering cherry, strawberry, summer meadow, earth, leather and iron aromas and flavors. Firmly structured, this picks up a hint of licorice as it winds down on the lingering finish, with tannins that are solid yet civilized. Shows fine potential. Best from 2028 through 2046. 1,670 cases made, 540 cases imported.
Jeb Dunnuck 92 Points | The medium red 2020 Barolo Cascina Nuova is spiced and fruity with notes of ripe grenadine, pink peppercorn, dried apricots, and polished leather. Open and approachable, it offers ripe, supple tannins, even acidity, and a clean finish with good length. It’s a very charming wine with a wide drinking window for enjoyment over the next 10 years.
Cume do Avia Colleita Branco Ribeiro 2022 750ml Galicia Spain
Expert Review - Vintage 2022
Luis Guitierez of The Wine Advocate writes 93+ Points | They haven't produced this wine since 2019, and there are substantial changes. There's no Treixadura in the 2022 Viño Branco Dos Canotos; they didn't do any skin contact; and it didn't go through malolactic, because it has a low pH (3.0) and high acidity. It matured in chestnut cask with full less until bottling in May 2023, quite early. The wine is dominated by the Albariño (around 40%, the rest, Lado, Caíño Branco and Loureira) in the aromatics, floral and herbal. It has around 11.7% alcohol, a very tasty and vibrant palate with pungent flavors, and very good persistence and length. There are only 910 bottles.
Winemaker Description
Lovely lemon and peach aromas with hints of honeysuckle and white pepper, super fresh, light-bodied, airy, silky on the palate.
Poderi Aldo Conterno Barbera d'Alba Conca Tre Pile 2023 750ml
Poderi Aldo Conterno · Barbera d'Alba · 2023
Conca Tre Pile brings together Barbera and the hillside vineyards of Bussia in Monforte d'Alba, Piedmont. The wine takes its name from a hilly area in Bussia Soprana, planted mainly to Barbera, with vines reaching a maximum age of 45 years.
Producer & Terroir
The Conterno family's winemaking story stretches back to the 19th century. After emigrating to Argentina and returning to Italy, Giovanni Conterno joined his father Giuseppe's small winemaking farm in Monforte d'Alba. Production grew, with wine sold in casks in Italy and as far away as America through a relative who had remained in Argentina. The family pursued a long-lived Barolo made only in the best vintages with extended vinification, bottling its first Barolo reserve in 1920.
Giovanni passed the business to his son Giacomo at the end of the 1930s. Giacomo developed the label throughout Italy by visiting clients personally, while his sons Giovanni and Aldo began working alongside him. In 1950, Aldo left for America, hoping to establish a vine-growing and winemaking business with an uncle in California. His five-year stay was formative, although he ultimately returned to the family business. Giacomo handed the thriving, nationally recognised business to his sons in 1961. After working alongside his brother, Aldo pursued his ambition to establish his own winery, purchasing the Favot estate and founding Poderi Aldo Conterno in 1969. His three sons, Franco, Stefano and Giacomo, carry on the family tradition.
Vineyard & Winemaking
The Conca Tre Pile vineyard lies in Bussia, Monforte d'Alba. Grapes are harvested by hand, with selection in the vineyard; the producer's harvest timing is the first week of October. Red-wine vinification takes place in stainless-steel vats, with approximately 8–10 days of skin contact at 24–26°C. After a few months in stainless steel, the wine spends a further few months in oak casks.
Expert Review
Wine Spectator, 91 Points · Vintage 2023

Eyrie Vineyards Pinot Noir Daphne Vyd Dundee Hills 2023 (Pre-Sale - Introductory Offer)
Named for a longtime friend of the winery, Daphne Vineyard contains just 1.5 acres of Pinot Noir, planted to the Pommard clone beginning in 1974. The Pinot Noir vines sit approximately 820 to 860 feet above sea level, near the top of this dramatically elevated site. The vineyard’s soils are exceptionally shallow—averaging less than ten inches over large underlying boulders—which contributes to the wine’s distinctive intensity, mineral character and naturally limited yields.
Daphne is the highest of Eyrie’s estate Pinot Noir sites. Its elevation and exposed position bring cooler conditions and help preserve acidity, while the mature vines produce very small clusters of intensely flavored fruit. Eyrie farms its vineyards organically and employs regenerative, no-till practices intended to protect soil biology and allow each vineyard to express its individual character.
Eyrie’s restrained winemaking philosophy places vineyard character ahead of cellar technique. Native fermentation, gentle handling, minimal racking and extended élevage are used to preserve freshness, aromatic complexity and transparency of site. The approach produces wines that can be compelling when young while also developing beautifully over extended bottle age.
The 2023 Daphne Vineyard Pinot Noir is especially concentrated and expressive. Layers of raspberry, blueberry and marionberry are carried by lively acidity, while earthy and exotic savory notes bring additional complexity. Hints of mushroom, sassafras and sandalwood emerge as the wine opens, leading into a long, slowly unfolding finish.
Expert Rating
96 Points — Paul Gregutt
Gregutt describes the 2023 Daphne as showing terrific concentration, with raspberry, blueberry and marionberry fruit supported by energetic acidity and nuances of powdered mushroom, sassafras and sandalwood. He also emphasizes its lingering finish. Only 153 cases were produced, making this one of Eyrie’s most limited single-vineyard Pinot Noirs.
Powerful without sacrificing elegance, the 2023 Daphne Vineyard is a compelling expression of old-vine Dundee Hills Pinot Noir. Its combination of concentrated fruit, vibrant acidity, mineral depth and savory complexity makes it particularly suited to further development in the cellar.

Pio Cesare Barbera d'Alba 2024 750ml
Pio Cesare Barbera d’Alba — Piedmont 2024
Pio Cesare is one of Piedmont’s most storied and respected producers, with over 140 years of winemaking history in Alba. Their Barbera d’Alba is a benchmark for the variety — a wine that balances the grape’s naturally exuberant acidity and fruit with genuine structure and complexity, drawn from carefully selected calcareous clay and alluvial vineyards in the Barolo zone. Fermented in stainless steel and aged for nearly 12 months in large French and Eastern European oak barrels, the 2024 is a classically built Barbera with real depth and excellent longevity.
The nose is assured and inviting: damson plum, violets, whole peppercorn, and freshly turned earth, with blackberry and ripe dark fruit underneath. On the palate, the wine is generous and full, with a live wire of characteristic Barbera acidity keeping the ripe blue and black fruit fresh and honest. It is approachable now, food-friendly across a wide range of cuisines, and built to age — a must-have from the Pio Cesare lineup.
“Few houses understand Barbera the way Pio Cesare does, and 140 years of practice show clearly in this glass. Damson plum, violets, whole peppercorn, and freshly turned earth set an assured and classic tone. The palate is generous, ripe blue and black fruits fresh and preserved, a live wire of acidity keeping everything honest. Barbera as it should be.” — Wine Enthusiast, 91 points. (Vintage 2024)

Alvaro Domecq Albujero Oloroso Jerez-Xeres-Sherry 750ml
Expert Review
Michael Schachner of The Wine Enthusiast 89 Points | A cloudy brown color along with nutty, slightly fiery aromas of caramel and cocoa open this aggressive oloroso with somewhat sharp acidity. A narrow flavor profile includes toffee, mushroom and orange peel, while saltiness drives a tannic finish.
Enrico Serafino Pajena Barbera d'Alba 2022 750ml

Massolino Barolo Serralunga d'Alba 2021 750ml
Massolino · Barolo · 2021 · 750ml
Massolino Barolo 2021 combines expressive red cherry and floral aromas with savory herbs, spice and an elegant tannic structure. The reviews highlight depth without heaviness, vibrant acidity and a polished finish, making this Piedmont Nebbiolo a compelling choice for the table or the cellar.
Producer & Vineyard Context
Founded by Giovanni Massolino in 1896, the family estate is based in Serralunga d'Alba and is now guided by its third and fourth generations. The family describes a minimal-intervention philosophy intended to capture the qualities of its soils and grapes. Decanter identifies this as the estate's classic Barolo, built around Collaretto and other Serralunga holdings, rather than a declared village Barolo.
Expert Reviews · Vintage 2021
Decanter · 93 Points · January 2025
Engaging from the get-go, the nose offers scents of wild strawberry, violets, tarragon and liquorice. Lovely depth of plush red fruit intertwines with tangy minerals. The tannins are polished and long, drawing from the front of the mouth with graceful ease through to the finish. So elegantly composed. Massolino has put out a beautiful set of 2021s, starting with the estate’s not-to-be missed ‘classic’ Barolo. It is built around the Collaretto MGA with various other holdings in Serralunga. In some vintages, a small part of Parussi makes it in which is why this isn’t declared as a village Barolo.
James Suckling · 93 Points · January 2025
Intense, smoky style to this Barolo, dominated by floral aromas, with citrus notes allied to red fruits and gentle spice. The palate is medium-bodied with chewy acidity and tannins which are flexible and not dry, despite the austere finish. Try from 2027.
Kerin O’Keefe · 93 Points · January 2025
The 2021 Barolo from Massolino is a lovely wine. It opens with heady aromas of dog rose, wild red berry and whiffs of botanical herb and new leather. On the elegant, savory palate, taut, fine-grained tannins accompany ripe Morello cherry, star anise and orange peel that give it a tangy finish.
Jeb Dunnuck · 92 Points · May 2025
A jeweled ruby red color, the 2021 Barolo is expressive on the nose with notes of polished leather, ripe cherries, fresh herbs, and mossy earth. The structure is quite appealing, with mouthwatering, ripe acidity, sweet tannins, and an even feel in a medium-bodied frame that’s gently rounded. It’s a very pretty wine and a nice calling card for the estate in this vintage. Drink 2025-2035.
Vinous · Antonio Galloni · 92 Points · January 2025
The 2021 Barolo is a fabulous wine that shows both the quality of the year and the very high standards at Massolino. Pliant and expressive, with notable depth, the Barolo is super-impressive. Macerated dark cherry, spice, lavender, menthol and blood orange all build in the glass. What a gorgeous and complete wine this is. The straight Barolo is, without question, the hidden gem in this range.
Additional Listing Note · Source and Vintage Not Specified
It’s a beautiful sweet and savoury release with waves of crunchy blue fruits complemented by notes of charred meat and subtle iron filings. The palate is so silky and pure, with supple fruit and vibrant acidity tapering to a lovely, mouth-watering and perfumed finish. A super release and another super value.
Producer Notes
We are a family. We firmly believe that in order to have a great future, you need to look to the past.
Proud producers of Barolo, Barbaresco and the typical wines of the Langhe, we were lucky enough to be born in Serralunga d’Alba, an area of absolute excellence in the geography of great Italian wines.
With tenacity and passion, we have been making wine since 1896.
Azienda Agricola Massolino Vigna Rionda is the dream of our great-grandfather Giovanni, who founded the estate in 1896. In those days, it was a traditional Langa farm, producing fruit and vegetables, raising livestock and making wine.Our family is firmly at the helm of the historic estate that inhaled the vibrant air full of change of the late 19th century and navigated the tides of the first half of the 20th century. Today, we face the new challenges of the 21st century, in the capable hands of the third and fourth generations.
We have always believed in Barolo and its austere uniqueness. We care for it in keeping with the philosophy that inspires our approach to wine – minimal intervention, to capture all the qualities that our soils and grapes can create in the glass.
We are Massolino Vigna Rionda and we are writing a legacy with our wines.
Food Pairing Suggestions
Try with braised beef, roast lamb, mushroom risotto or aged hard cheeses. Rich, savory dishes provide a fitting partner for the wine's tannins and bright acidity.

Adega Pedralonga DoUmia Tinto Rias Baixas 2022 750ml
Winemaker Description
The Tinto DoUmia is a traditional blend of 70% Mencía, 20% Caino, and 10% Espadeiro from the weather battered coasts of Galicia. Biodynamically farmed, fermented with native yeasts and partial whole cluster in stainless steel vats, then aged on the lees for one year.
Light and refreshing red fruits with woodsy notes that never venture in to the tart fruit category. The palate is lean yet savory, with forest floor aromas and a pure fruit expression.
Memo Summary Notes
The Adega Pedralonga DoUmia Tinto 2022 is a fascinating departure from the white Albariños usually associated with the Rías Baixas region of Spain. Crafted by winemaker Francisco Alfonso, this red blend is a tribute to the indigenous grapes of Galicia and the "Atlantic" style of winemaking—fresh, high-acid, and deeply mineral.
Because of its high acidity and lower tannins, this wine is incredibly versatile:
Traditional: Octopus a feira, grilled fatty fish (tuna or salmon), or roasted chicken.
Cured Meats: It cuts beautifully through the richness of Ibérico ham or aged cheeses.
Global: Its freshness makes it a great partner for spicy Thai dishes or earthy mushroom risotto.
Fermín - Jamón Serrano- Serranía (Spain, 2 oz)
Fermín Jamón Serrano — Spain, 2 oz
Fermín is one of Spain's most celebrated producers of traditional cured meats, and their Jamón Serrano is the benchmark for what this ancient craft can be. Cured for 18–24 months in the mountain air of Salamanca, the ham develops a deep, burnished color, a complex layered aroma, and a savory intensity that is unmistakably Spanish. Sliced thin and ready to serve, this 2 oz portion is the perfect introduction to one of the world's great charcuterie traditions.
On the palate, Fermín Serrano is clean and satisfying: a gentle sweetness from the slow cure, a rich nuttiness, and a long, savory finish with just a whisper of salt. The texture is silky and yielding — ideal on its own, draped over crusty bread, or as the anchor of a charcuterie board. Pair with Albariño, Fino Sherry, Tempranillo, or a cold Spanish lager for a classic combination.
