Bruna Grimaldi

 
Bruna Grimaldi crafts classic, well-structured and delicious wines that outperform their modest price tags. The estate dates back to the 1990s, when Bruna (along with her husband, Franco Fiorino) began bottling her own wine. This decision came after decades selling off the exceptional fruit and bulk wine before eventually selling small amounts locally. As the word got out and international interest poured in, the wines have only improved.
 
Aside from the lovely and deep varietal wines, we’re featuring their three Barolos: the Camilla, Bricco Ambroggio and Badarina. The wines tend to be fairly solid, built primarily for the cellar, but with an early opening, you can find that they’re enjoyable in the near term.

Erin Nuccio developed his own original label, Haden Fig, while taking over from Russ Raney at Evesham Wood. The Haden Fig wines lean more expressive and impactful notes, showcasing the lovely terroir of the (all dry-farmed) vineyards. He crafts the wines with minimal intervention at optimal (not over-) ripeness and reduced yields to allow vineyards to express themselves. We’re proud to be one of the first to share these new releases with you!

Brundlmayer

 
Austria is home to such astounding producers as FX Pichler, Gobelsburg, and Nikolaihof. Somms get EXCITED when they see these selections on our shelves. Unfortunately, these wines rarely get the attention they deserve. If these wines came from France, those biodynamic, single-vineyard, Grand Cru, food-friendly, and ridiculously underpriced gems from thousand-year-old wineries they would be three times as expensive. Instead, we get the best value high end whites in the world.
 
The Kamptal region in Austrian is the slightly less famous brother to the Wachau. As a result, the best wines are somehow an even better value. The quality is on par, so the wines from the likes of Bründlmayer end up being the best deals across the Old World.
