Our three-day Italian Magnum Sale has arrived—one of the highlights we look forward to all year. We’ve lined up an irresistible selection from iconic estates like Produttori del Barbaresco, Fèlsina, Cavallotto, Isole e Olena, and other benchmark producers that truly shine in large format.

There’s something undeniably festive about opening a magnum—the slower evolution, the added depth, the sheer presence on the table. Whether you’re planning a celebratory dinner, stocking the cellar with age-worthy bottles, or simply want a showpiece for your next gathering, this is the moment to indulge. Quantities are limited and these formats always disappear quickly, so if you’ve been waiting for an excuse to go big, this is it.

We’ve got a diverse set of new arrival wines for you this week, outstanding historic estates and newer discoveries included. The jewels of the week are the 2012 and 2014 Bordeaux we’ve brought in from lesser known but mighty artisanal producers. These vintages were never flashy over extracted, but rather exist in that special classical realm of wine that true enthusiasts adore. If you want to taste Bordeaux in the style that made it famous, these beauties are just hitting their drinking window.

Tucked into the rolling hills of Novello, the Elvio Cogno estate stands as one of Barolo’s most revered names—a house that seamlessly weaves deep tradition with a spirit of quiet innovation. Ravera is often considered among the greatest single vineyards in all of Barolo, and why the Cogno family has earned its reputation as its most devoted steward. Trying to describe the wines from this vineyard is a task doomed to do disservice to the wines themselves. You can’t mirror the sensory experience of a world class wine with words, you can only paint a picture of their shadow. The residue of flavor memory that you wish you could experience one again. Let us tell you about the history of these wines and the people that make them, and perhaps you’ll be compelled to source your first sip.

There are certain estates that quietly redefine what you think a category can be. Von Winning is one of them. If your reference point for German Riesling is light, delicate, and faintly sweet, these wines can feel like a revelation. They are dry, structured, and unapologetically serious—wines with breadth and texture, but also with the kind of cut and clarity that only great Riesling can deliver. We’re offering them at Vinopolis through Monday, and it feels less like a promotion and more like an invitation to taste one of Germany’s true benchmarks.

What sets Von Winning apart is not volume or flash, but detail. The top vineyard sites—carefully farmed, obsessively tended—translate into wines that feel architectural. There’s citrus and orchard fruit, yes, but also smoke, crushed stone, salt, and a subtle savoriness that lingers long after the glass is empty.
