Cosimo Taurino Salice Salentino Riserva
$32.99
A blend of Negroamaro (80%) and Malvasia Nera, picked from vines 15 to 20 years old. The wine spends between four and six months maturing in French oak prior to bottling. Close to ten years on since the grapes were picked, the wine is currently showing wonderful lavender, cherry and raspberry notes along with integrated acidity and minerality. Getting a decade-old wine that drinks this well at this price is impressive and as such it remains one of the great bargains in Italy's vast wine realm. It would pair nicely with lasagna or roast chicken.
About The Winery
Cantina Cosimo Taurino was founded in 1970 by the legendary Apulian producer, Cosimo Taurino. He was a pioneer of Negroamaro, and of the Apulian wine industry, changing its reputation of the 'not so great southern region that only produces bulk grapes for the north' to a region known for its high-quality red and rosé wines. Ever since the winery first opened, they have continued to grow and produce some of the best wines Puglia has to offer.
Darroze 30 Year Armagnac
$209.99
"For several generations, the Darroze family has scoured Gascony in the Grands Crus centre of the Bas Armagnac region...Each age on the bottle indicates the age of the youngest Armagnac in the blend," according to the Darroze website. "Maturity begins at 30. The fresh fruit is transformed into dried and candied fruit, the spicy character asserts itself, the first aromas of "rancio" appear and the alcohol is perfectly mellow. The fiery youth softens and relents. This Grand Assemblage is the perfect example of magnificent balance that one finds in eaux de vie of this age."
Edoardo Miroglio Bio Red
$25.99
Grape-growing and wine-making have been traditional for the region ever since Thracian times. Many ancient authors have praised the Thracian wine, and the recipe has been passed from father to son for generations... This is what I was inspired by! - Edoardo Miroglio
Edoardo Miroglio founded his production in 2002, after falling in love with the soil and climate of the Thracian Region. He works fully with organic vines, producing an array of lines. His EM line is his premium quality line, focusing on showing the complexity the terroir gives to the wine. This red is a blend of Mavrud (60%) and Rubin (40%), with notes of dark berries, oak spice, and a bright acidity and smooth tannins. A KWM Exclusive!
Burdock Tuesday
$5.99
This saison is can conditioned and made with an Italian saison yeast. It's lightly farmy with a mellow, but semi-complex grain bill and plenty of yeasty character.
Dominio de Tares Cepas Viejas
$39.99
This is a beautiful Mencía that comes from 70 to 90-year-old vines from the villages of Cacabelos, Vilafranca del Bierzo and Toral de los Vados, all in the Bierrzo region of Spain. The wine is fermented using ambient yeast fermentation then left to age for nine months in French and American oak barrels. It's then aged another 6 months in barrel before it is finally released. Mencia is grape that was overlooked outside of Spain but it's gaining a loyal following for its calling card of flowery aromas complimented by flavours that include strawberry, raspberry, black licorice, pomegranate and cherry. It can produce light, almost Pinot Noir of Gamay-like wines but this one is considerably more substantial, ideal with grilled meats.
