Prosecco Valdobbiadene is an Italian wine region in Veneto that creates Prosecco wines. These DOC wines are crafted in Friuli Venezia Giulia and Veneto, and can be a little sour and light due to the high altitude and climate the grapes are grown in. The wines were originally created in the hill regions toward the northern part of Treviso. The Prosecco wines can be labeled with a hyphen according to the region where they were produced or they can be labeled depending on the blend of grapes used from different areas. The Prosecco wines from the Conegliano-Valdobbiadene region in Italy is considered the best, whether crafted in one or both of the areas. Prosecco wines typically contain almost 90 percent of Prosecco grapes. The rest of the wine is a mixture of Pinot Grigio, Pinot Bianco, and either Chardonnay or Verdisio grape varieties. Since winemaking techniques have improved during the years, the Prosecco wines are higher in quality and have a more distinct flavor. The sparkling version of the wine was initially very sweet to taste and was very similar to the Asti wine. The wine was upgraded to DOCG in 2009. Since then, a group of growers is seeking to protect the area where the Prosecco vine originated.
Rebuli Prosecco is a noble wine with a bright straw color, made from a selection of Prosecco grapes, which highlights the flavors and perfumes of the area. It is ideal for important occasions and as an aperitif. It is also excellent with risotto and noble meat.
"Pretty silvery straw color. Orange, juicy lemon, peach aromas with a crisp, lightly effervescent, fruity-yet-dry medium body and a long, tangy mineral, starfruit and spice accented finish. Exceptional flavorful, balanced and stylish. A perfect aperitif."

"Toasty, which makes this a little more champagnelike and perhaps more familiar to consumers. Nice balance; quite refreshing."
- Washington Post (Dec 08) - VERY GOOD
"This wine is so much fun that it seems vaguely illegal. Lightly floral in aroma, it shows fresh but restrained fruit flavors. The effervescence is abundant but soft, yet the wine remains structural and refreshing thanks to crisp acidity. Clearly the top pop for parties." - Washington Post (2006)
"Very pale straw. Very fine mousse. Nice elegant bead. Aromas of fresh bread dough, pear, touch of marzipan. Light attack. Semi-dry. Licorice note on palate. Soft, light. Simple, light pear flavors."

This large Spumante estate with just over 100 acres of vines produces high-quality Prosecco. The non-vintage Rebuli Prosecco di Valdobbiadene Extra Dry is light-bodied and flowery with plenty of white peach, orange and pineapple notes in its exotic aromatics and flavors. It is off-dry, but most consumers would consider it to be a dry sparkling wine. Drink it over the next 12-18 months.-Robert Parker 90 Points
The Grade Cellar Kingly Project Cabernet Sauvignon is made from Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.
"This is a noble expression of Cabernet Sauvignon" in full regalia, with decadent aromas and a mouthfeel viscous and sleek. "This vintage of the Kingly Project Cabernet Sauvignon enters the scene" -- Thomas Rivers Brown
Review:
The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Kingly Vineyard is endowed with tremendous richness and concentration. It emerges from the best spots within Block 5, which is a bit more protected from the elements. The 2018 is a bit closed today, but it has a lot of promise. Time in the glass brings out layers of inky dark fruit and the savory, minerally notes that are such signatures. This potent Calistoga Cabernet needs time to shine, but it is impressive today just the same.

It means with head, it is Galician word that means a way to do the things with calm and think every step to succeed. It was a word that the founder of the winery, Manolo Arnoya, always used (“do things with Sentidiño "). The label represents a seafaring boat associated with the fisherman who bravely goes out to work on the sea and has to work with “Sentidiño” to return home safely.
Refined, soft, fresh and intense wine. It presents a powerful aroma of stone fruits, such as peach and sweet pear and it presents a freshness so characteristic of lemon. It is a pleasure for the palate!
