Florian Lauer has been at the very heart of the German wine revolution for the last 20 years. Working on the terrifyingly steep slopes of the Ayler Kupp, in the heart of the Saar, Florian has been a champion of intentional farming, old vines, natural fermentation, long lees aging and letting his wines naturally find their own equilibrium, whether it be bone-dry, off-dry or juicy-sweet.

Chionetti is one of the great names of Piedmont, but, as we’ve written many times over the years, they’re famous for the Dolcetto they grow in Dogliani. But the Chionetti family wasn’t satisfied being mere masters of Dolcetto and leaders of Dogliani. They wanted to get the chance to work their magic with Nebbiolo from very top terroir; to show that they can make Barolos that are every bit as delicious, terroir expressive, and long lived as their Dolcettos.
