Rottensteiner Lagrein Riserva
$44.99
An exploration into the rich winemaking history of South Tyrol, Rottenstiner's Lagrein Riserva has elegance to spare. The sedimentary soils irrigated by the Talfer River passing through the vineyards near Bolzano allow for the native Lagrein grapes to flourish. After fermentation, the wine is matured in large wooden barrels to further develop texture and complexity.
A deep garnet-coloured wine, with arrestingly complex aromas that oscillate between delicate florals of violet and the earthly elegance of chocolate and spice. A distinct tannic edge is perfectly balanced by fresh yet restrained acidity, creating a wine just waiting to be paired with red meats and ripe, intense cheeses.
Rottensteiner Pinot Grigio
$39.99
A unique take on a common varietal often showcased in Italian wines, Rottensteiner's Pinot Grigio blends grapes from both moderate and high-elevation vineyards to create harmony between body and elegance, between structure and minerality.
Rottensteiner's Pinot Grigio is a beguilingly complex wine, ripe with tropical fruit and warm spice notes. This allows for an effortless pairing with all manner of food, from starters to poultry - or have it on its own to fully explore all the complexity this wine has to offer.
Dagueneau Pouilly Fume L' Odyssee Cuvee
$79.99
This domaine has expanded considerably since the time Serge Dagueneau took on his handful of hectares. Today, there are 23 hectares of vines, of which 18 hectares are dedicated to Sauvignon Blanc in the Pouilly-Fumé appellation. Many of the vines are ancient, with some up to one hundred years old. Most of these vines are planted on Kimmeridgian marl, one of the classic terroirs of the Pouilly-Fumé and Pouilly-sur-Loire appellations. He is the nephew of the late Didier Dagueneau, a legend in the wine world. The L'Odyssee is their flagship wine, a stunning example of Pouilly-Fume.
From The Producer
"Along the roman road of Pouilly-sur-Loire, the vineyards of Les Chailloux present a beautiful vein of flint which gave Valérie the idea to express the vividness and the purity of this terroir. Vinification takes place in an ovoid concrete vat referred to as “the egg”, in order to enhance and embellish the fresh richness of this cuvée. L’Odyssée, an invitation to a journey and a reference to her son Ulysse…"

Hansel Estate Vineyard Pinot Noir 2021
$74.99
While the Estate Pinot Noir from Walter Hansel utilizes barrels of Pinot from a variety of Hansel-owned vineyards, the heart and soul (and a majority of the Pinot) is usually harvested by hand from the legendary Meadows vineyard. The result is a Pinot Noir that is very approachable yet complex even when young but can also reward you if cellared.
Carlone Davide Croatina Novaresi
$42.99
Davide Carlone is a small but important winegrower in Piedmont. Based in Boca, a small appellation in Alto Piemonte, at the foothills of the Italian Alps, Davide’s focus is on Nebbiolo and the local supporting cast, Croatina (for which he may be the strongest advocate), and Vespolina. Boca sits on the east side (left bank) of the Sesia River and is shared between the communes Grignasco, Boca, and Prato Sesia. Most of the vineyards are tucked further back into the mountains away from the Sesia and experience a slightly cooler influence from the Alps. While many of the important local appellations mostly sit between 250-350 meters of altitude, with some up to 400, most of Carlone’s vineyards face south and range between 380-450 meters. Like many vineyards in the area, outside of important appellations like Gattinara and Ghemme, his vineyards are largely surrounded by forest and in constant contact with fresh alpine winds, making for wines with great tension and strong array of more savoury characteristics rather than punchy fruit.
Carlone Davide Boca Piemonte
$73.99
Boca is both a small D.O.C. zone and a rare red wine made from the Nebbiolo grape (locally named Spanna, 70-90%) along with Vespolina and Uva Rara (Bonarda Novarese), vinified either together or separately. Despite its modest size, its roots can be traced back to Roman times.
The wine is grown in the north of Piedmont, along the Sesia River, on the wooded hills of the Novarra province around the towns of Boca, Maggiora, Cavallirio, Prato Sesia and Grignasco. It delivers notes of wild berries, cherry, and forest floor. Fine but grippy tannins make it a natural fit with beef and lamb.
