One of the three big grapes of Valpolicella is Molinara, which traditionally made up a healthy percentage of both Ripasso and Amarone blends. The grape is pretty unique in the wine world. It’s a super light red grape, not able to extract dark colors in wine – no matter how long the skins are left in contact with the wine. But the acidity is delightful, almost perfect and the grape provides a lip-smacking savory that made great Amarone unforgettable.
Bowing to an international palate preference for super-dark, rich, over-the-top wines (thank you Mr. Parker), the Valpolicella Consortium limited the amount of Molinara allowed into traditional Valpolicella wines.
Many wineries just shrugged it off, but not Buglioni. Instead, the family made a sparkling rose from 100% Molinara, named it ‘il Vigliacco’ or ‘the coward’ and dropped off the very first case on the doorstep of the Consortium.
I guess like many of the best wines in the world, adversity was the mother of invention. It turned out that Molinara was the perfect grape for Sparkling Rose. This one is a beauty, and at the price… I went all in.

“Luxurious and rich, yet pinpoint in focus, with expressive apple and strawberry flavors highlighted by brioche, ginger and spices. Drink now.” -Wine Spectator
If you’re new to Sancerre Rose, then you’re in luck– this is easily one of the best ones made. Domonique Roger’s Sancerre Rose has everything you want: it’s bone dry with fleshy stone fruits flavors, mandarin orange and a hint of zest. The fruit is so pure and clean and there’s so much going on. This is a serious wine and arguably the very best pink wine that anyone makes. Do not miss it.
At 350 feet above sea level, growing seasons are often extended with warm days and cool, breezy nights. The diurnal changes of temperature help create healthy vines and grapes that are packed full of complexity, concentration and energy. Ain’t a whole of Provence wineries that can compare. We’ve offered Val de Caire’s spectacular Provence Rouge before, but their bread and butter wine, the Coteaux d’Aix en-Provence Rose has finally been imported into the U.S. for the first time. People are gonna go nuts for this wine.

The Bisol “Jeio” Prosecco NV is a delicious sparkler that comes from the Veneto region of northeast Italy. A brilliant straw yellow color, the first sip is an intense and fresh nose of citrus fruits and saline sensations. If you love fruit forward sparklers… this one is for you.
