Occhipinti II Frappato

$62.89

'Frappato comes from my dream of a girl to make a wine that knew of the earth I work, of the air I breathe, and of my own thoughts. It is sour, sanguine and elegant. It is Vittoria and the Iblei mountains. It is the wine that most resembles me, courageous, original and rebellious. But not only. It has peasant origins, for this reason it loves its roots and the past it carries inside; but, at the same time, it is able to fight to improve itself. He knows refinement without ever forgetting himself.' - Arianna Occhipinti

Moss Wood Ribbon Vale Merlot

$44.99

This Merlot is from Moss Wood's second vineyard called Ribbon Vale. They purchased the vineyard in March of 2000. The vineyard was already in production but it did offer a new challenge for Moss Wood in that they had never worked with Merlot before and it ended up being quite different than the other grapes they were used to. Since then they have focused on vineyard management and the way they produce the wine and it's evolved into something special.

$78.19

The vines are planted directly on the steep hillsides, on what are called "costers" or terraces A truly special and fascinating wine, full of nuances. Made quite traditionally from a severe selection of old-vine Grenache grapes. Clean and clear initial aromas of mature red fruits with local herbs, sweet spices, elegant yet fresh attack, enduring on the palate. Despite being from the 2014 vintage, the wine is still remarkably youthful, displaying the power that can be achieved from old-vine Grenache.

Foradori Teroldego

$41.64

Here is what Foradori importer Sedimentary Wines says about Elisabetta Foradori:

"Elisabetta was thrust into the wine-making scene at a very early age after the death of her father. It was 1985 and she had just graduated from high school. She had always been in touch with nature and when she took over the vineyards she began to replant her vineyards using massale selection – not because of any overriding grand plan- but because it felt right. It is largely thanks to these efforts by Elisabetta and a few other dedicated growers in the Mezzolombardo area of Trentino that the Teroldego grape has survived."

"We think Elisabetta Foradori makes the best Teroldego wines in the world. Her Foradori is a good introduction to Teroldego for people who have not had it before – the elegance of this wine – matches the elegance of its maker. Her two single-vineyard anfora aged Teroldegos (Sgarzon and Morei) are some of the most special wines in the world (unfortunately, they are made in minute quantities), and her Granato is arguably the top Teroldego wine in the world – it is a deep, dark, concentrated wine made only from her best grapes."
