Sassara Vin de Anfoa
$41.99
Situated just outside Verona, in the Morainic Hills near Lake Garda, Vini Sassara is a new project from longtime natural winemakers Alessia and Stefano Bertaiola. With a background in agricultural research and development, Alessia joined forces with third-generation winemaker Stefano more than a decade ago, and together they farm a 10-hectare site that has been in Stefano’s family for 50 years. They took over the property in 2007, and with Alessia's strong background in agricultural research and development, quickly converted each plot to biodynamic farming. This is Bardolino country, a DOC in the Veneto region most famous for its Valpolicella-style light reds and rosé wines. But being natural winemakers, Alessia and Stefano are less concerned with what conventional winemakers are doing in the area and instead have set out to show what the indigenous grapes and Bardolino terroir are capable of when allowed to express themselves naturally.
Feudo Montoni Rose de Adele
$40.99
"There are few estates anywhere in Italy making more compelling wines today." - Ian D'Agata
In 1469 A.D., in the heart of Sicily, the noble Aragonese family Abatellis built the baglio (a typical Sicilian court square building) where Montoni's wines are made even today. Since Roman times, durum wheat has been cultivated in the Sicilian hinterland. Within these massive expanses of yellow durum wheat, the green vineyards of Montoni have flourished for over 600 years.
For centuries, the wheat fields have contributed to a “natural isolation”of Montoni’s high-altitude vineyards. The “Island of Montoni” extends for approximately 80 hectares, with altitudes between 500 and 700 meters. The vines are situated on a hard mountain slope, all east facing, in soil that ranges from sandy to clay. The winds, tramontana and scirocco, and the exposure support Montoni's certified organic farming.

Sassara Misia Vin du Va
$37.99
A sumptuous skin contact, wine produced just outside Verona, in the Morainic Hills near Lake Garda, ‘Vini Sassara’ is a fresh project from longtime natural winemakers Alessia and Stefano Bertaiola. With a background in agricultural research and development, Alessia joined forces with third-generation winemaker Stefano. Together, they work a 10-hectare organic site that has been in Stefano’s family for 50 years. From their calcareous soil hideaways and three days of maceration, we get this lively orange wine. A blend of garganega, trebbiano and tocai. It shows some salinity, white peach, citrus and a hint of mango. Natural and a little funky.

The first vineyards were planted in 1993 and the winery's first vintage was released in 1997. The winery also boasts the first underground storage caves in the Okanagan Valley. The international wine trade consistently names these wines among the best in the world. We love this Pinot Gris. Floral-jasmine and melon aromas are balanced by bright acidity and a long finish.
