Hansel Estate Vineyard Pinot Noir 2021
$74.99
While the Estate Pinot Noir from Walter Hansel utilizes barrels of Pinot from a variety of Hansel-owned vineyards, the heart and soul (and a majority of the Pinot) is usually harvested by hand from the legendary Meadows vineyard.

Tedeshi Amarone 2021

Tedeschi boasts a deep bond with the Valpolicella region that has kept it on the path of quality and tradition produced exclusively from grapes grown on hillsides.

Grapes are harvested by hand at the end of September, beginning of October, and are placed on plastic trays for drying. This process lasts until January and renders the once plump juicy grape to a raisin. The result is a wine of great flavour and style. This is a great wine at a great price; it has notes of vanilla and ethereal aromas of sweet currants, blueberries and cherries. Enjoy with braised red meats and cheese and a hearty peasant-style loaf of bread. A Kensington Wine Market exclusive!
Bussola Ca`Del Laito Ripasso
$71.99
Another great creation from Tommaso Bussola. This wine is composed of 40% Corvinone (ancient Corvina clone), 40% Rondinella, 15% Molinara and small quantities of other indigenous varietals and is aged for 17 months in oak. Pairings include a meaty lasagna or parmigiano as suggestions.
This is a "ripasso" style Valpolicella that uses the "lees" of Bussola's Recioto instead of the traditional Amarone "lees". This technique gives a richly seductive wine, with terrific concentration and voluptuous texture!
