Product Description

"Italy’s rolling Treviso Hills lie just to the north of romantic Venice, sandwiched between the majestic Dolomites and the Adriatic Sea. Is it any wonder that the Prosecco produced here tastes the way it does? Avissi beautifully expresses the exuberant character of the Veneto region, famous throughout the world for producing unforgettable sparkling wines. Made from 100% Prosecco grapes, our DOC Italian sparkling wine is handcrafted with great care to capture the ultra-fresh flavors, floral fragrance and crisp effervescence that characterize top quality Prosecco. Avissi is born to drink young, when the fruit flavors and aromas are at their very freshest.
Start living la dolce vita." - Winery Notes

Avissi Prosecco N/V Tasting Notes

"The name 'Avissi' comes from the delightful fizzy sound the bubbles make as they happily rise in the glass. Avissi’s brilliant straw-yellow color makes the perfect backdrop for the wine’s fine, sparkling perlage, which releases a gorgeous bouquet of delicate floral notes and fruity aromas. Inviting fresh fruit flavors lead to a clean crispness on the palate and refined finish, making Avissi the perfect match for a wide variety of cuisines and occasions." - Winery Notes

Product Description

"This product is a second label for the well known California house, Trinchero.  With wine, the sum is most definitely greater than its parts. This is deliciously true with Lock & Key Meritage, a premium Bordeaux-style red blend that artfully combines Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc for a uniquely expressive wine. To craft our Meritage, winemakers source top-tier grapes from premier vineyards in California’s North Coast AVA, including Sonoma and Lake Counties." - Winery Notes

Lock and Key Meritage 2010 Tasting Notes

"Fruit grown here is revered for its depth and personality, traits that make Lock & Key so rewarding. Cabernet adds power and backbone to the blend, Merlot offers beautiful aromatics and lush fruit, and Cabernet Franc imparts texture and a long finish—elements that are treasured in the finest wines.  Lake County wines exhibit beguiling aromas, opulently layered blackberry and plum flavors with hints of dark chocolate and tobacco spice, and an extravagantly silky finish." - Winery Notes
