The Prestige gift set
Pale in color but massive in personality, this Barolo offers a dizzying bouquet of rose petals, red cherries, and white pepper. The tannins are firm but sophisticated—think "iron fist in a velvet glove"—while a vibrant acidity keeps the palate lifted and energetic.

Chateau de Fonbel Grand Cru
Deep garnet in the glass, it opens with a decadent nose of plum compote and dark chocolate. On the palate, it’s a masterclass in texture—broad, supple, and rich, balanced by a surprising mineral freshness from the sandy-gravel soils. It’s generous without being heavy, finishing with a spicy kiss of clove.
