Podere Forte Guardavigna 2018
$274.99
Podere Forte's top-end wine is made from 100% estate-grown Cabernet Franc, nurtured in vineyards above 525m. “The name comes from the rock that used to guard the vines. I mix up – I have to mix up – History and Fable. The Fable of a great Tuscan wine.” - Pasquale Forte
The Val d’Orcia, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2004, encircles the Podere Forte. The estate was founded in 1997 by Pasquale Forte, a visionary entrepreneur who has created a balanced system where every element complements the others, following the principles of organic and biodynamic agriculture. The old concept of the corte romana has been recreated on the 500-ha estate: a place where people, plants and animals coexist in harmony and sustainable self-sufficiency. Wine is the main focus, but Podere Forte is also synonymous with the breeding of Cinta Senese pigs, Chianina cattle and Suffolk sheep, as well as various other farm animals, all living on biodynamic feed. Podere Forte produces its own fertilizers and compost using vine prunings and fallen timber from the woods. The pigs eat acorns and chestnuts in the woods where they roam freely, the bees pollinate the flowers and aromatic herbs in the botanic garden where the hives are. The olive groves cover around 26 hectares and in 2020 production of the first varietal oil, from the Frantoio variety, started.

Camille Thiriet Les Chaignots
$124.99
Starting from scratch in Burgundy is tough, but Camille Thiriet and winemaker Matt Chittick have built a six-hectare domaine in just six vintages. They're reviving the lesser-known villages of Corgoloin and Comblanchien, attracting support from industry veterans such as Jeremy Seysses of Domaine Dujac, Nicolas Potel and Bernard Noblet, formerly of Domaine de la Romanee Conti. The wines are marked by purity and freshness, with a focus on delicacy and minimal intervention. Their goal is to produce high-quality, pure, and aromatic wines while showcasing lesser-known terroirs and their ability to produce superb wines. While Domaine Camille Thiriet may not be that well known (yet), just like those other pioneers who are working so closely with Camille and Matt, renown is within reach. The critics have certainly taken notice, the time to buy these is now, while prices are still reasonable.
