Envinate (“Wine Yourself”)
Envínate is a small group of winemaking friends (Alfonso Torrente, José Ángel Martínez, Laura Ramos, and Roberto Santana) that seek to highlight the individual terroirs of the Canary Islands and Ribeira Sacra. The friends produce wines of purity with low-intervention winemaking and vineyard management using ancient vineyards.  The wines are highly sought after as authentic expressions of their terroirs and forerunners of the “New Spanish” wine movement.

Vintage Offering of Andre Clouet Champagne: October 2023




 
Champagne lovers rejoice! We’ve got one of our most adored producers back in stock and an ENTIRE SERIES of vintage bottlings to offer for those that are savvy enough to get in early on our newsletter offer. We’re talking about vintage releases of the wines of Andre Clouet, the master house of the village of Bouzy in Montagne de Reims.

These “Dream Vintage” wines celebrate exceptional harvest years in a blanc de blanc (100% chardonnay) style with grapes sourced from Grand Cru sites. The wines themselves are captivating and extraordinarily delicious, each individually expressing the nuances of Bouzy and the dynamics of each unique harvest. Bouzy Champagnes are known for their profound body and intensity of flavor, all stemming from sunny, southern exposure vineyards that provide ample ripeness to maturing grapes.

“Ar.Pe.Pe, Lombard”
“These wines from Ar.Pe.Pe (an abbreviation of founder Arturo Pelizzatti Perego’s initials) are among the most impressive I tasted… From top to bottom, the wines are deserving of serious attention. The super-traditional style will leave lovers of translucent Nebbiolo weak at the knees… perhaps most importantly, Ar.Pe.Pe shows just how pedigreed the wines of Valtellina can be.”
-Antonio Galloni

Wine Spectator 94 Points “A graceful, mineral-driven red, with seamless integration of the firm, fine-grained tannins and concentrated flavors of ripe raspberry, star anise, Earl Grey and red licorice.

“Azienda Agricola Sassetti Livio Pertimali, Tuscany”
Simply put, without the Sassetti family, Brunello di Montalicino would not be the wine that we know and love today. Livio Sassetti is one of the founding fathers of Brunello and the wines coming off of his “Pertimali” estate define the genre. This is a Grand Cru site in Montalcino and the wines are thrilling whenever you have a chance to taste them.
