Producers
Thierry Germain
France | Loire | Saumur-Champigny
Germain’s reds are grand examples of the heights biodynamic wines can achieve.
Barruol Lynch
France | Northern Rhône | Côte Rôtie
Power and finesse, with the capacity to evolve for a long time in your cellar.
Clos Canarelli
France | Corsica | Corse Figari
This brooding amphora-aged red is a tribute to ancient Corsican wines, as they were produced in Roman times.
Antoine-Marie Arena
France | Corsica | Patrimonio
The only Arena cuvée to see barrel-aging features the domaine’s oldest vines.
Giulia Negri
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.
Guido Porro Italy | Piedmont | Barolo
Podere Sante Marie
Italy | Tuscany | Orcia
Expect ripe Sangiovese fruit with a streak of bitter cherry and a pleasant dusting of Tuscan tannin.
Vignai da Duline
Italy | Friuli | Friuli Colli Orientali
Ultra elegant yet energized, fresh, and juicy. An all-natural wine that’s just easy to love.
Benevelli Piero
Italy | Piedmont | Barolo
Right in line with the Benevelli style: smoky fruit, hints of herbs and forest floor, and firm structure.
Charles Joguet
France | Loire | Chinon
Age-worthy red from one of Chinon’s top sites, by a storied domaine.
Cuna

Federico likens it to “the elegance and the levity of a sail blown by the wind on a luminous ocean.”

Muriel Giudicelli’s Patrimonio rouge is elegant, deep, bursting with ripe black fruits, silky smooth, and offering great length.
Guido Porro Italy | Piedmont | Barolo
Catherine & Pierre Breton
France | Loire | Bourgueil
There isn’t a spot in the world better suited for Cabernet Franc, and their old vines produce the raw material for one of the best reds in the Loire valley.
Jean-Claude Marsanne France | Northern Rhône | Saint-Joseph
Barruol / Lynch
France | Northern Rhône | Hermitage
Bold and mysterious, with a velvety texture and a certain rusticity.
Giulia Negri
Italy | Piedmont | Barolo
