NV Vino Bianco
Elvio TinteroThe Vino Bianco is a wine that can be enjoyed in virtually any scenario. For example, I have most often savored it in some situation involving avocados and baseball. Alternatively, Marco Tintero, who makes this delicious dry frizzante, drinks it over lunch between long hours of hard work in his steep vineyards. While we may imbibe it under different circumstances, we prize this crisp, floral-scented blend for the same reason: at just 11.5% alcohol, having more than one glass is not only tempting but unavoidable. Marco agrees: “It is so light, I drink at least a bottle every day at lunch.” It is my hope that Marco’s uplifting words will influence you in deciding what will be your new aperitivo, picnic, and sunny afternoon drink of choice.

About The Producer
Cantine Elvio Tintero
About The Region
Piedmont
Kermit’s love affair with the great reds of Piemonte dates back to the early days of his career: the very first container he imported from Italy, in fact, featured legendary 1971 and 1974 Barolos from Vietti and Aldo Conterno. Regular visits since then have seen our portfolio grow to now twelve Piemontesi estates, with a strong focus on the rolling hills of the Langhe.
Nebbiolo rules these majestic, vine-covered marl slopes, giving Italy’s most mystifyingly complex, nuanced, and age-worthy reds. When crafted via traditional production methods—long macerations and extensive aging in enormous oak botti—the powerful, yet incredibly refined Barolos and Barbarescos provide haunting aromatics of tar, raspberry, incense, tea, roses, and more. At times austere in their youth but well worth the wait, they pair beautifully with the hearty local cuisine starring veal in many forms, braised beef, pastas like tajarin and agnolotti, and of course, Alba’s famous white truffles.
Surrounded by mountains on three sides, Piemonte’s climate is continental, with baking hot summers and cold winters. Nebbiolo is only part of the story here: juicy, fruity Barberas and Dolcettos represent the bread and butter throughout the region, and other native grapes like Freisa, Croatina, and the white Arneis are also noteworthy. Value abounds in the Monferrato, while Alto Piemonte also has its share of thrills to provide.
Every corner of Piemonte is rich with tradition, especially when wine is concerned. It’s no wonder we have been singing the region’s praises for over forty years.
