2113 Wine Club - NE Italy



Masuret Prosecco Treviso DOC Extra Dry NV

"From our vineyards in the enchanting Treviso hills this fresh, light and versatile Prosecco doc has a delicate, fruity and intense bouquet with characteristic hints of ripe fruits and wild flowers. It has a fine, consistent perlage and inviting, tangy flavour with a strong aromatic vein and can be drunk at any time and for any occasion." - Masuret

Wonderfully fruity and aromatic. Very delicate and complex. Masuret does some amazing sparkling wines. 


Pair with fresh vegetables, prosciutto, scallops, shrimp.

Non-Vintage, drink now.




Alois Lageder Müller-Thurgau, Südtirol DOC

"We see it as our task to create ideal synergies, supporting nature’s work, thereby taking on the role of “midwives” who facilitate the birth of wines of great elegance, clarity, body, strength, and authenticity." - Alois Lageder

Straw yellow with green shimmer. Fruity aroma with muscat notes. Crisp finish with a touch of acidity. Easy drinking.

Pair with seafood or as an aperitif. Drink now to 2016.









Cantina Nalles ‘Galea’ Schiava, Südtirol DOC

"With a bouquet revealing cherry, almond and violets, a robust elegance, fine freshness and harmonious finish, this original South Tyrolean is a delightful and highly quaffable wine. Grown on 100-year old vines in St. Magdalena, the Vernatsch Galea finds its ideal partner in dishes of the traditional South Tyrolean cuisine and, when cooled, in fish." - Nals Margreid

Complex and robust, very interesting aroma. Wine club members got wet straw on the nose.






Tenuta Sant’ Antonio, Valpolicella Superiore DOC

Deep ruby red with purple glints. Fruity, intense with hints of cherry, red fruit, licorice, tobacco and cedar wood. Soft and warming, a structured and well-balanced wine with a lingering flavor.

Pair with pasta dishes with intricate sauces, grilled red meat, roasted 
and braised meats, lamb and game, ripe but not strong 
cheeses.

Wine club pick of the week.
