Spanish Sparklers We'd Like to Drink Every Day: AT Roca's Perfect Pair

Agustí Torello Roca is making some of the most delicious sparkling wines you can find anywhere in the world, at prices that make them impossible to resist. They’re aromatic with clear-cut acidity, beautifully ripe white fruits, and plenty of mineral cut. To say that these out-perform many more expensive and more famous bottles of bubbly would be a severe understatement. They really are that good.

Sierra de Toloño Shows a Fresher, More Mineral Side of Rioja

Rioja is one of Spain’s oldest and most traditional wine regions, but in its modern iteration, it offers up a surprisingly diverse patchwork of wineries, winemakers, and wine styles. Sandra Bravo’s Sierra de Toloño winery is one of the most exciting new projects we’ve come across in some time.

Gavi "Indi" — An Artisanal Piedmont White from La Mesma

Gavi "Indi" — An Artisanal Piedmont White from La Mesma

Gavi, home to Piedmont's top white wine, is only about a 60 mile drive from Barolo. Makes sense. What's surprising is that Gavi is even closer to Genoa on the Ligurian coast: less than 30 miles. It's easy to forget how small European countries are, we're so used to big distances here in America.

A High Elevation Tuscan Treat: Voliero's Distinctive 2019 Brunello

A few weeks ago we wrote about Ciacci Piccolomini. Ciacci, you may recall if you read the article, was a pioneer in Castelnuovo dell’Abate, a village just to the southeast of the DOCG’s traditional home in Montalcino. So it was that in this corner of the DOCG a new style of Brunello developed. Poggio di Soto is the most famous example, with Ciacci di Piccolomini not far behind. And it is here that we find Uccelleria, a winery with vineyards just uphill from Ciacci, where the salt-of-the-earth Tuscan Andrea Cortonosi produces his flagship wine.

Battle of the Vintages: A Singular Friulian White from Ronchi di Cialla

Since their founding in 1970, Ronchi di Cialla has numbered as one of Italy's most unique — and underrated — wine estates.
Situated on a limestone-rich hillside, the Rapuzzi family make wines deeply rooted in local tradition. While many of their neighbors grow international varieties like Merlot and Chardonnay, the Rapuzzis have dedicated themselves from the start to to cultivating historic local varieties like Picolit, Refosco and Schioppettino.

A Piedmont Heirloom, Saved by Love? Castello di Verduno Pelaverga

Nobody makes a lot of Pelaverga and we rarely have much, if any, to offer. Our recent shipment comes from the Castello di Verduno, a property that was split from Burlotto in order to accommodate multiple heirs.

Pré Semelé's Stunning Sancerre

Sancerre is a famous enough name with such great terroir that, if you have good old family vineyards, you don't really have to do much to make wine that will sell. Uninspired work can make wines that are perfectly serviceable — if uninspired. There's always some grocery store or café that will gladly stock your wine.

From the Wilds of Catalonia, A Stunning Xarel-lo: Anima Mundi Grès

Xarel-lo is the jewel of Catalonian wine culture. It’s emerged as one of Spain’s most fascinating grape varieties, producing wines with tons of fruit intensity and bold minerality. Once known as a blending grape in Cava, it is now responsible for some of the best white wines of the Iberian peninsula.

Foillard's Oft-Imitated, But Never Duplicated, Beaujolais-Villages

Some Beaujolais-Villages locales make wines that are light and easy-going, much like Beaujolais AOC. But others are up in the hills with mineral-rich soils, and make wines more like the Crus: pretty, with silky fruit and Gamay’s floral aromatics, but with more complexity, minerality, and depth.

Pour Some Paradise in Your Glass: Vignes de Paradis' Charming Chasselas

Dominique Lucas is making perhaps the greatest Chasselas on the planet. Chasselas is a grape without much of a reputation — in the hands of less precise vignerons, it can make oily, unremarkable wines. But from Dominique’s winery, Les Vignes de Paradis, Chasselas is all about delicate texture and mineral rich dimensionality. These are show-stoppers to redefine the variety.

A Tantalizing Taste of New York's History — and its Future — in chëpika

The sparkling wine we're offering today is mouthwateringly fresh with joyful, springing-from-the-glass dark fruit and just a touch of minerality as it finishes clean, crisp, and with satisfying length. It's a pure summer delight. What if we told you it's also made from Concord and Catawba?
