wonderful addition to Spring Celebrations

Your Dodici Bottiglie Club May 2024 selections include:

2022 Don Silvio Reserve Sangiovese, Sonoma Valley
Typical Sangiovese characteristics such as eucalyptus, cedar, mint and herbs speak volumes about this wine’s origin.  A premium Sangiovese vineyard in northern Sonoma Valley produced fruit with herbal notes combined with red soils contributing intense red raspberry flavors.  Oak aging allowed the wine to soften and gain delicate nuances.  This wine will improve and gain complexity for up to ten years, but it can also be enjoyed now by those who love rich and powerful red wines with complex, concentrated flavors.

• Triple Gold Medal & Best of Class Winner – 2023 Dan Berger International Wine Competition

Retail Price $38.00/Bottle – Dodici Bottiglie Club Price $28.50/Bottle

2022 Reserve Chardonnay, Sonoma Valley
In over 65 years of winemaking, this vintage will stand as one of the outstanding of my career.  We have for years used multiple vineyard sites on Wildwood Vineyards in northern Sonoma Valley.

High notes of under-ripe apple push through a layer of cream which has tones of unsalted butter, velvety cream and slightly toasted almonds trailing with nutty tones of what seems like oven-baked peaches.

• Double Gold Medal Winner – 2024 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition
• Gold Medal Winner – 2023 Dan Berger International Wine Competition

Retail Price $28.00/Bottle - Dodici Bottiglie Club Price $21.00/Bottle

2022 Eye of the Swan Aleatico Rosè
The grapes were harvested by hand from the esteemed Serres Ranch.  The wine’s magnificent coppery color is created by quickly separating the flowing juice from the color-laden skins.  Aleatico grapes are unmistakable, boasting intense floral aromas and strawberry notes along with honey-like Muscat characteristics. In almost 50 years since that first bottling, this handsome version is a perfect match for festive foods, full-bodied and delicious.  Only 125 cases were bottled of this special wine. 

• Best of Class & Gold Medal Winner – 2023 Sonoma Harvest Fair & Harvest Terroir Challenge.
• Gold Medal Winner – 2024 Sonoma International Film Festival

Retail Price $22.00/Bottle – Dodici Bottiglie Club Price $16.500/Bottle
