Portelli
Italy | Sicily | Vittoria Frappato
The wine builds to a crescendo and leaves the palate stained and saturated with staying power. This is much more than quaffing Frappato. Irresistible.
Portelli
Italy | Sicily | Vittoria Calabrese
Not an inky, alcoholic bruiser, but rather a thing of ravishing delicacy, defined by mouthwatering black cherry fruit and lively acidity
Villa Di Geggiano
Italy | Tuscany | Toscana IGT
Is it possible for a country quaffer to originate under a grand Renaissance villa? This Tuscan red certainly offers evidence in favor of that paradox.
Château Tertre de la Mouleyre France | Bordeaux | St-Émilion Grand Cru
Antoine Arena
France | Corsica | Patrimonio
A vibrant tonic akin to a savory brew of muddled stone, wild herbs, and salty sea air.

This is the perfect example of a fine, elegant version of Merlot.
Antoine-Marie Arena France | Corsica | Patrimonio

Sylvain crafts this wine as a testimony to the quality Carignan can achieve with low yields from old vines in poor soils.

Proof that a great site and honest farming are key to genuine, long-lived wines.

Podere Campriano Italy | Tuscany | Chianti Classico Riserva
Castagnoli
Italy | Tuscany | Chianti Classico
Castagnoli enjoys a microclimate of its own, where cool nights favor bright, focused acidity that accentuates this red’s crunchy schist backbone.
Podere Campriano Italy | Tuscany | Chianti Classico
Villa Di Geggiano
Italy | Tuscany | Chianti Classico
Broad-shouldered, with hearty tannin and acidity and a dark, earthy quality to its fruit, it is a lumberjack wine that can cut through anything a Tuscan table can throw its way—wild game and aged cheeses are some of our favorites.
Portelli
Italy | Sicily
Enough vibrance and freshness to drink well on its own, but just enough tannin and acid to be versatile at table.
Giulia Negri
Italy | Piedmont | Barolo
Giulia’s painstaking attention to detail in these sandier-soil parcels, and deliberate choices in the cellar, result in wines with a fine grain, spiced tannins, and a celestial nose of peony and rose petal.

Italy | Piedmont | Barolo
La Tartufaia is a divinely atmospheric truffle forest in the heart of La Morra where Giulia’s vineyards run parallel. The wines produced here, from clay-rich soil, are textbook examples of classically structured Barolo typical of the area.

France | Corsica | Patrimonio
A commanding hillside strewn with big stones and marine fossils, Carco is one of Patrimonio’s great vineyard sites.
Riofavara
Italy | Sicily | Eloro
“Sciavè is the result of ancient clones of Nero d’Avola which, besides exalting the limestone matrix of its terroir of origin in the Eloro appellation, carry forth the elegance gleaned from patiently aging the wine in barrel.”
Castagnoli Italy | Tuscany | Chianti Classico Riserva
Villa Di Geggiano

This is my son’s birth year and what a handsome vintage that is for Bandol. This wine has such elegance, power, and a classy, lengthy finish. Tannins are well integrated and should be enjoyed this holiday season or any day with a roast leg of lamb!
