eve — Tue, 18 Mar 2025 04:53:33 +0000

This tiny 7.3-hectare property has been referred to as a “”vin de garage””. Stéphane Derenoncourt has been consultant for many years and Rol Valentin is now one of the most sought-after Saint Emilion in Bordeaux. The wines are intense, deep and rich, and made in tiny quantities.
The wine is a blend of 78% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, 7% Malbec. Gentle punch downs and a 15 month period in barrel makes for an elegant style of Saint Emilion but one which ages beautifully.

Monte dall’Ora Amarone Stropa

eve — Tue, 18 Mar 2025 04:47:37 +0000

From Valpolicella’s sun-drenched slopes comes this bold Amarone, the kind of wine that makes you pause mid-sip.
The 2015 Stropa delivers waves of dark cherry, fig jam and chocolate, with that signature Amarone richness balanced by surprising freshness. Made from air-dried grapes in the traditional way, it’s powerful without being heavy, the sort of bottle that turns an ordinary dinner into an occasion. Give it some air and watch it unfold.
