On Vintage/On Deal Wines from Produttori
The Produttori del Barbaresco represents one of the best deals in the world of fine wine. Impeccably made in a traditional style and with very high standards (they only release the cru wines in the best years), these are wines that can stand toe to toe with wines twice the price. With age, these are capable of being the best wine on any table—no matter what else is being poured.
We were able to acquire a small parcel of library wines from the 2011 vintage last year and there are a few wines among that group that needed a little love, from a sales perspective, so we’ve dropped the prices—these are can’t miss deals.
Guess what–an extra day of Burgundy at 10% off! What’s good for you is good for us. Enjoy 10% off all of our in-stock Burgundy for an extra 24 hours.
