We're often asked what the best wine is. Which wine sells best, or which one receives the highest ratings from us? It's difficult to give a definitive answer. The best wine? That varies, because there's nothing as personal as taste. And the highest rating? That depends on who you ask. But our tasters decided to come up with a collective answer: Two of the BEST luxury wine boxes. A gift box containing—in our opinion—the finest red and white wines. A perfect gift you can give with confidence.
Barasasso Appassite
Let's start with a true success story: Barasasso Appassite, hailing from the immensely popular Puglia. Italian wines have achieved sky-high popularity in recent years. This is no surprise: a single sip of Barasasso Appassite instantly transports you to ecstasy. It's a complex blend of three of Italy's most famous grape varieties: Montepulciano, Primitivo, and Sangiovese. The Appassite designation means the grapes are dried before being pressed. The result is an extremely concentrated wine bursting with flavor and aromas of chocolate, cassis, blackberries, white grapes, and vanilla. A wine worthy of the subtitle "La Dolce Vita."
Butter & Wood Chardonnay
The second wine in this gift set featuring two "all-time classics" is also a true masterpiece of craftsmanship. We're talking, of course, about the Chardonnay, hailing from its native France. In the vast south – Languedoc-Roussillon – the Chardonnay grapes grow to their heart's content. What's unique about this Butter & Wood Chardonnay is that the juice is aged partly in large barrels and partly in small ones. This gives this Chardonnay wine a unique palette of vanilla, apricot, pineapple, and delicate herbs, which our vinologists secretly fell in love with from the very first sip!
