Château Guiraud 2020
The 2020 vintage shows all the hallmarks of top Guiraud: luscious layers of apricot, candied citrus, and honeyed tropical fruit, lifted by ginger spice and a streak of freshness that keeps everything poised. Rich and opulent, yet beautifully balanced, it’s a classic Sauternes that will reward both patience and indulgence. Founded in 1766, Château Guiraud has always gone its own way, proudly displaying its black label and earning Premier Grand Cru Classé status in 1855. Today it’s one of Sauternes’ great names, known for combining tradition with innovation.
La Giaretta, Recioto Classico, - 50cl 2021
Recioto is a luscious sweet wine made from the same grapes as Amarone della Valpolicella—Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella—but with a twist. The grapes are left to dry on wooden racks until March, allowing for an extra level of concentration in the must. After two years of ageing in small French oak barrels, followed by further refinement in bottle, the result is a rich, full-bodied wine with a deep ruby hue and intense aromas of cherry compote. It’s a perfect match for traditional Venetian treats like almond biscuits or buttery shortcrust pastries—and it pairs beautifully with dark chocolate too. Best enjoyed at 18°C.
