Suore Cistercensi Coenobium Lazio Bianco 2023
$29.00Add to cartOrganic wine is one thing, but organic wine (made with very minimal intervention, i.e., naturally) by nuns? It’s enough to cause a sensation. Ninety minutes north of Rome, 80 Cistercian nuns farm ten acres of vines entirely organically. With some consultation from the Bea family, the nuns have turned out some wines that are just like they are. The spartan landscape (and cellar) are energetic and full of warm spirit.
The Coenobium is a blend of Trebbiano, Verdicchio, and Malvasia, co-fermented without added yeasts, aged on its fine lees, and bottled just before the next harvest without fining or filtering. The nose evokes autumn with aromas of fennel fronds, chamomile tea, almonds, and tangerine that lead into a full but delicate palate. Vitorchiano’s volcanic soils seep through with a somber smoke-iron interplay, and glowing acidity lets the savory flavors coat the mouth.

Tinto Amorio Bheeyo Skin Contact Wine 2023
$40.00Add to cartBheeyo is a fascinating wine that brings us back to summer even in the middle of winter. Every time we taste it, it leaves us wanting a very specific pairing: a summer melon, jamon, and mint salad. This is a funky-leaning minimal intervention wine that we think has a lot of joy inside it.

Vietti Barolo Villero Riserva 2016
$650.00Add to cartThis is the highest level of wine from Vietti and is an absolute crusher that can be opened and enjoyed now or age for another generation. The grapes are sourced from the Villero vineyard, one of the most significant vineyards of the entire Barolo area, in Castiglione Falletto.

Malolactic conversion takes place in wood and it ages for 30 months in large oak casks. The nose is full, complex and elegant. Notes of intense red fruit and plum with complex herbal underbrush dominate the nose while the palate is balanced, silky, and all-enveloping. The tannin is present and well-integrated with a long finish. Open a few hours before serving.

Vietti Barolo Rocche di Castiglione 2020
$269.00Add to cartThe grapes for the Roche di Castiglione come from one of the oldest vineyards in the entire Barolo region: Rocche di Castiglione Falletto.

The grapes are pressed into stainless where they rest for three weeks before being moved into wood for malolactic and 30 months of aging in barrel. The nose of this beautiful wine is complex and elegant. More lifted and less brooding than the Brunate with notes of mandarin, ripe red fruit and rose petal, accompanied by a hint of chamomile. It is fresh, balanced, silky, enveloping and full-bodied on the palate. The tannins are prominent but well-integrated with a long and persistent finish. Decant for a few hours before serving.

Vieux Telegraphe Chateauneuf du Pape Rouge 2021
$145.00Add to cartAccording to importer Kermit Lynch, “One cannot think of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the most celebrated cru of the southern Rhône, without thinking of Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe.” The Brunier family has farmed the La Crau plateau for over a hundred years to make their iconic grenache forward wines.
The wines of Vieux Telegraphe are classic, displaying strength, rusticity, earthiness, and tremendous longevity like a great Chateauneuf should. The blend of old-vine fruit from La Crau, imparts incredible depth, concentration, and fresh minerality. Their goal, which they uniformly achieve, is to find a harmony between aromatic complexity, tannic structure, and richness. A stupendous wine.

Yves Leccia E Croce 2023
$57.00Add to cartThe wines of Yves Leccia (and reportedly the man himself) have presence. Importers Kermit Lynch liken him to the “Rolls-Royce” of Corsican wines, a moniker that is richly deserved. He has been working the single top terroir of Patrimonio, “E Croce,” a site on a thin chalk soil above a thick bedrock of pure schist since 2004. The wines are elegant, and worth exploring.
