Santagostino Baglio Sorìa Rosso is the fruit of this uniqueness, remaining true to itself over more than thirty vintages.

The well-ventilated, hillside terrain composed of clay and red marl is predominantly south-facing. Here, the wind currents, solar radiation, and the role of temperature form an extremely particular mix which causes a rather interesting complex of soil and climate conditions. The range of vine varieties is exceptionally rich comprising both native vines such as Nero d’Avola and international varieties from Cabernet Sauvignon to Merlot. It is right here, at Baglio Sorìa, that the Di Gaetano Family’s dream first took root. Their historic labels of Camelot and Santagostino are testimony of that. In these testing soils, just a few kilometers from Mount Erice where the mysterious population of the Elymians (one of the first to reach Sicily) lived in ancient times, precision viticulture is practiced. It is viticulture where the experience-driven management at the heart of the vineyard assumes a highly specialized level of know-how. As in the nearby Egadi islands, the sun burns strongly here and every single bunch of grapes requires personal and meticulous care. In order for the leaves to be able to protect the fruit so that it reaches perfect polyphenolic maturity, surgically-precise pruning is necessary. In 2015, Firriato opened the Baglio Sorìa Resort \u0026amp; Wine Experience within the old 17th-century Baglio: it is an oasis on the Via del Sale (the Salt Road).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe beating heart of Firriato’s production is at Baglio Sorìa. It is in these vineyards overlooking the Mediterranean sea that Sicilian native vine varieties of Nero d’Avola and Catarratto find the best soil conditions alongside international vines of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Chardonnay, and Syrah. The vine varieties grow side by side in a unique agricultural setting which fully embodies Firriato’s philosophy: to value and promote the uniqueness and individuality of every single variety in order to guarantee the utmost quality of the wines produced from these grapes. Baglio Sorìa, of all the Di Gaetano family estates, is undoubtedly the most charming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe soil at Baglio Sorìa is characterized by a high level of mineral content which ensures and guarantees a good soil structure. Both the red and white vine varieties have the perfect conditions for producing great wines. The estate represents a unique set of circumstances on the Sicilian hillside viticulture scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe richness of the Estate is such that Firriato has given some land over to the cultivation of olive trees, as ever strictly certified organic.

The lightning bolt struck on the driveway of a sparkling winery south of Seattle, Washington, U.S, surrounded by sweeping rows of vines on the way up to Trevor Clough and Jason Humphries in a vineyard a glittering winery visitor center. Co-Founders Trevor Clough and Jason Humphries had been looking for an idea for their own start-up for years. They asked themselves, if English sparkling wine was as good as the newspapers said, how come they had never encountered it in stores, on wine lists, at quintessential British events, etc.? From the very start, the vision was that the quality of English fizz deserved worldwide acclaim and their goal is to bring this inimitably English form of sippable luxury to discerning, adventurous customers in all of the world’s coolest cities.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Verdana\" style=\"font-family: Verdana;\"\u003eThe next question Trevor and Jason asked themselves was, how?  How could they craft a wine that would both taste uniquely English and be world-class? To answer that, they booked flights to California and spent a week’s field trip in Napa Valley, talking to sparkling winemakers there.  That trip gave them the inspiration to take a unique path in English wine, that of England’s first negociant or blending house.  Since then, the Digby gang has grown!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDigby Fine English launched its first wines for sale in 2013 in Selfridges, won its first trophy in 2014, and has gone on to great adventures around the world in the years since then.

After his father sold the family business in 1970, Johnny committed himself to learning the craft of port-making on his own. From age 20, he worked in the terraced vineyards of the Douro Valley, on the rabelo boats bringing barrels of young port downriver, and in the cellars and tasting rooms of Vila Nova da Gaia. Apprenticing under the studied eye of port master John Smithe of Cockburn Smithe’s, Johnny quickly learned the art of winemaking and by his late 20s had developed a reputation as one of the trade’s best tasters. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJohnny could have had his pick of winemaking roles at the top vintage houses, but that wasn’t his style.  Port was more than a trade to Johnny: it was his passion and art.  He was not content to be a steward of a heritage style. He wanted to make his own mark on the 200-year-old Douro D.O.C. and bring a new style to port drinkers around the world. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThus, at just 29 years old he set out to do something crazy: found an official port shipper in the ancient entrepot of Vila Nova de Gaia, which no one had done in over 50 years. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn a partnership with his wife and two brothers, Churchill’s was born, producing its first vintage in 1982, more than a full year before officially qualifying as a registered port shipper.

He had long had his eye on the 50 hectare grade-A vineyard, going back to his days with Cockburn-Smithe’s in the 1970s. Owning and operating its own vineyard was a watershed moment for the start-up Churchill’s, providing control over grape supply for the first time and paving the way for entrance into Douro still wines. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn 2002, Johnny teamed up with young Portuguese wine maker and fellow wine rogue Ricardo Pinto Nunes, and together they have created the Churchill’s Estates and Quinta da Gricha ranges of still Douro wines.

Before establishing Pas de l’Escalette, Julien went to wine school in Dijon and capped his work experience with five years in the Loire Valley in the Menetou-Salon cellar, Domaine Henry Pellé.

Through the years of commuting from the Loire Valley to the Languedoc (where Delphine lived), they passed through the Pégairolles Valley, and they knew that was the place. They found eight hectares of vines for sale in 2003, bought them, and five years later they quit their jobs and went all-in on their life project.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;\"\u003eThe philosophy at Escalette is simply to focus on farming their vineyards as naturally as possible using organic and biodynamic methods and do as little as possible in the cellar, save for a severe triage when the grapes arrive and precision with their winemaking. They use a minimal amount of sulfites in their wines (no more than 30mg\/l, or 30 parts per million total in their reds and a touch more for the whites) and allow them to finish both fermentations without the help of enological products.

In 2018 also added cement vats to the mix with the intention to further protect the high-toned fruit qualities that their cool-climate yields—a stark contrast to the majority of wines grown in the Languedoc, which are often dense, sun-soaked reds and usually uninspiring whites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;\"\u003eThe focal red grapes at their estate are Grenache, Syrah, Carignan, Cinsault, and a tiny proportion of Mourvedre, a grape that is more commonly grown in the hotter areas of the south of France due to its need for a long growing season.

But they liked the result of its contribution to the final wine and decided to keep it.) The whites are principally Carignan Blanc, Terret Bourret (an acid beast of a white grape and the backbone of their minerally white Clapas wine), and Grenache Blanc.

The Dusi Vineyard introduced some of the first Zinfandels to California’s Central Coast; vineyards were rare in Old California in the early 1900's. Sylvester and Caterina were highly enterprising, and working together with their three sons – Guido, Dante and Benito, eventually bought an additional property on the west side of Highway 101 in 1945 and planted Zinfandel. Zinfandel was the Italian varietal of choice at the time, and remains the vineyard’s mainstay varietal today. The intense flavor profiles of the “Dusi Fruit” are characteristic of the land’s unique micro climate and the family’s old-world, handcrafted grape growing techniques. This 100-acre estate is located just south of Paso Robles. A region that features the greatest day-to-night temperature variation of any appellation in California, providing ideal conditions for vibrantly flavored yet exceptionally balanced wines. The vineyard has been sought after by many fine wineries such as: Turley, Four Vines, Cypher, Tobin James, and Grey Wolf. These local wineries have been purchasing the fruit for many years, creating their own versions of Dante Dusi Vineyard designated Zinfandels. Three generations after Janell Dusi's great-grandparents first planted the land to Zinfandel; she is continuing the legacy of one of the area’s most well-loved vineyards, and taking ten percent of the production off the Dante Dusi Vineyard to create J Dusi Wines.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Metro Cellars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39364979622041,"sku":"091037117267","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0149\/9247\/4212\/products\/cd67f0e1ee17784bddf96fcd096facd024401968.png?v=1765768650"},{"product_id":"gdvajradolcettodalbadoc2019","title":"G.D.

The grapevines are more than half a century, which are essential for high quality wine. Through their low yield, they can produce extraordinary bunches. Balocco Family manage the cultivation process from the beginning to the end. During Winter, there is the phase of “dry pruning” and trimming, to regulate the grapevine’s production and protect it in the course of time. In Spring, it is necessary to lift the branches and tie them up. One of the most important Summer procedures is the green harvest, that consists in removing the excess bunches. Close to 30% of the bunches are removed and left on the ground, to let the other bunches reach a perfect level of maturation, with the right amount of nutrients. Among the grapevine rows the grass naturally grows. Some copper and sulfur based products are used only when it is in absolutely necessary. We never use any kind of chemical fertilizer, and we manure every three-four years only. We harvest the grapes by hands one by one. The harvested bunches then are put in small fruit crates, in order to not damage the grapes and protect them all the way to the winery.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Well Crafted","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39980265472153,"sku":"814184020057","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0149\/9247\/4212\/products\/b4d5ff1578a4ab63e3f6345aac340d01cd2f73a9.jpg?v=1765774119"},{"product_id":"dfjvinhosportadawinemakersselection2019","title":"DFJ Vinhos Portada Winemaker's Selection Red 2021","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlcohol:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.5%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGrape(s):\u003c\/b\u003e Tinta Roriz, Alicante Bouschet, Cabernet Sauvignon, Caladoc, Castelão, Pinot Noir, Touriga Nacional\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLocalization:\u003c\/b\u003e Lisbon, Portugal\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTasting Notes:\u003c\/b\u003e Bright garnet color and aroma of ripe red fruits.

All production on the estates is carried out under the Integrated Production regime (sustainable agriculture).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2009 DFJ achieved BRC quality certification – grade A, and since 2019 it has had grade AA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt exports 99% of 10 MILLION bottles to over 50 countries. Global recognition is very high, having won more than 4000 awards since 2010, of which 610 were in 2020 alone. Of these, more than 1000 are gold medals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 200ha of DFJ VINHOS vineyards in the Lisbon region are always prepared for mechanical harvesting (12 to 15 ha\/day) in advance of the equinox (September 21st), when, according to the historical climatic series, there is a 90% likelihood of rain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is constant monitoring of the development and improvement of the various clones of the grape varieties, in order to make room for better plants that are resistant to viruses and vine diseases. The average lifespan of the vineyards is 25 to 30 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJosé Neiva produces and selects the best wines from the grape varieties Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Alfrocheiro, Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Fernão Pires, Chardonnay and Moscatel grapes. José also introduced the Caladoc variety to Portugal (a cross between Grenache and Malbec). He is the largest producer of Pinot Noir in Portugal (30 ha). He carried out the 1st harvest of Dornfelder in 2009, a short-cycle German red variety that was also being cultivated for the first time in Portugal. Riesling, Verdelho, Sauvignon Blanc, Marsanne and Tannat are already in production. He continues to produce Alvarinho – the family's favorite white. He is a big “fan” of Alicante Bouschet (a cross between Petit Bouchet and Grenache), having been the first producer to bottle this wine as a varietal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJosé Neiva Correia combines the careful selection of the varieties to be planted on the different vineyards with a policy of sustainable agriculture - with no place for chemical products in the soils. He uses organic matter only, selected according to the land, water table, climate, grape varieties, clones and the wine that is intended to be produced. All organic matter is pre-analyzed to verify that it is suitable and also to avoid heavy metals and other pollutants negative for the plants and for the environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nutrition of the vines is monitored closely, without excesses or shortages; the water and nutrient needs of the various vines are carefully measured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe end result is high-quality produce and productivity levels that are well above the average in Portugal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe estate is José Neiva Correia’s birthplace and childhood home, 60 km north of the center of Lisbon, 20 km from the Atlantic Ocean.

He is constantly studying and working to accelerate the production cycle of the vines, in order to achieve the best possible quality at the lowest possible cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany of the young vines are in full production after 14 months whereas the average would be three to five years, this without compromising the quality of the wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA little further on, on the other side of the house, the old cellar that still bears the arms of the Lobo Garcez Palha family (18th century) has been restored and adapted to modern times: the deposits are lined with fiberglass and epoxy, the shutters and mouths were replaced by stainless steel and the modern vacuum filters for white and rosé wines ensure musts that are free of any substances in suspension.
