Paternoster Vulcanico Falanghina 2025

Basilicata

November 10, 2026 - Vulcanico Falanghina showcases the best of southern Italy, with grapes sourced from vineyards near the base of Mount Vulture, an extinct volcano. The name "Vulcanico" emphasizes the volcanic origins of the soil, contributing to the wine's unique character. Made entirely from Falanghina, this wine beautifully blends the grape's inherent freshness, balminess, and delicacy with the boldness and generosity that define the wines of southern Italy. A perfect example of how volcanic terroirs shape and enhance the profile of this classic white variety.

Champagne

November 10, 2026 - Ayala Brut Majeur perfectly embodies the Chardonnay-focused style of Ayala. This cuvée achieves balance and finesse through low dosage, stainless-steel vinification, and three years of aging on lees. Made from over 70 crus across Champagne’s key regions, including the Côte des Blancs, Montagne de Reims, and Vallée de la Marne, each cru is fermented separately in 120 stainless-steel vats, preserving its unique characteristics. The result is a Champagne of exceptional complexity, capturing the richness and diversity of the region’s terroirs.
