The Non-vintage Spumante Rose reveals sweet roses, herbs and flowers on a soft, delicate frame, with a fine mousse and lovely balance. Wine Advocate, 88 pts

Marziano Abbona Barbera d’Alba 2010 $24.99
Aromatic, with black cherry, cooked plum, and anise on nose, over notes of smoky wood and minerals. Ripe on the palate with mature blackberry, licorice, and chocolate flavors, and a touch of tar. Balanced, spicy finish to pair with Italian style grilled rib-eye.

Marziano Abbona Dolcetto Dogliani 2011 $29.99
This has intense, fruity aromas of raspberry, and floral notes. In the mouth the wine is ripe and rich, with fresh tannins. The plum, red fruit and pepper flavors have a full, mouth filling character before a persistent, tangy finish.

Masi Bonacosta Valpolicella 2010 $14.99
Intense cherry aromas on the nose, very inviting and attractive combined with hints of violets. Instantly noticeable freshness on the palate, with good supporting acidity and excellent balance marked by soft and silky tannins. The biggest fruit component is cherries sweetened with touches of vanilla. 70% Corvina, 25% Rondinella, 5% Molinara.
