Perfect wines for every occasion.
Dolce Vita Sicilia
Description
Every great romance has a little intrigue. This one comes straight from Sicily.
Cupid didn’t just bring flowers this year—he brought a knowing wink and a scandalous secret. At the heart of this Valentine’s trio is Gulfi's Rossojbleo, its label famously depicting a well-dressed gentleman and his clandestine lover: a nod to passion lived boldly, just off the record. In the glass, that same energy unfolds—dark cherries, warm spice, and a depth that lingers longer than it should.
To balance the seduction, we’ve paired it with the luminous Valcanzjria, all citrus brightness, volcanic minerality, and cool restraint—the perfect counterpoint to temptation. And because no affair (or Valentine’s night) is complete without indulgence, three decadent Italian chocolates round out the story: rich, silky, and unapologetically pleasurable.
This is a package for lovers, co-conspirators, and anyone who knows that the best romances—like the best wines—come with a little mystery. Pour generously. Discretion optional.
