Aged for 36 months in old barrels, this is medium-bodied and intensely aromatic, with an abundance of red berries and lip-smacking acidity — all hallmarks of table-ready reds from cooler climes. Crushed wild berries, violets, sweet smoke, and hints of cloves unwind first, as notes of young strawberry evolve into rosy florals, with inner herbal tones cast over salty minerals. There's a bitter twang and hint of licorice on the finish, lending a truly alpine feel to the wine.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Friuli Italian Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":40772690477136,"sku":"210000000581","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1016\/7695\/files\/KanteTerrano2.png?v=1771457570"},{"product_id":"tempa-di-zoe-asterias-fiano-2024","title":"Tempa di Zoe Asterias Fiano 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e100% Fiano – but being from the Cilento coast, this has a much higher salinity-to-richness ratio than you might expect from white wines further inland, such as Avellino and the like.

On the car ride back home to Campania, a friend told him that clearly no one wanted to buy from a nobody, a zero, if you will; it is from this formative experience that this wine  –  many years later albeit – was born. 'Zero' comes from 50-year-old vines, is spontaneously fermented, and aged in large used barrels for three years. The 2020 is hauntingly dark yet still youthful, with blackberries and wild blueberries met by spice and blood orange. This is elegance personified; red fruits and licorice add lovely depth as fine-grained tannins slowly saturate.

Impossible to ignore, with a bouquet that mixes sweet,  and savory: confectionary spice and white flowers offset by nectarine and minty herbs. Its silken textures coat the palate with elegant peach tones, mixing ginger  and vanilla bean,  as a peppery twinge adds verve.

Paolo first encountered the grape deep in the mountains, and returned home instead with cuttings of this obscure native variety. The 15-year-old plot is green harvested for focus, fermented in steel with a natural pied de cuve and daily punch-downs, then aged six months on fine lees with occasional stirring. In the glass: deep, dark purple. The nose leans almost Syrah-like at first — blackberry jelly, black cherry, a hint of kirsch — layered with black pepper, olive, and purple flowers. A swirl brings lift: cardamom, cinnamon, even a hint of tomato leaf. It moves from blue and brambly to tart red fruit, with a wild, mountain edge that feels vaguely Spanish-esque, like Mencia, but bigger, more structured, distinctly Italian. On the palate it’s dry and precise, not plummy, with fine but sneaky tannins that quietly demand something fatty on the table. Tart berries snap against vibrant acidity. Spice builds on the finish, with pepper, light clove, a touch of cinchona bark leaving a savory, slightly shadowed impression. Definitely one best served with a good meal — something fatty, spiced, and smoky would do the trick.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bon Vivant Imports","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41998641725520,"sku":null,"price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1016\/7695\/files\/CasaleDellaIoriaEsperoOlivella.png?v=1770841312"},{"product_id":"guerrieri-marche-bianco-2021","title":"Guerrieri Marche Bianco 2021","description":"","brand":"Garber\/Sete","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42003300581456,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1016\/7695\/files\/GurrieriBianco.png?v=1771021033"},{"product_id":"edi-kante-ludvik-rosso-nv","title":"Edi Kante Ludvik Rosso NV","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe ‘Ludvik’ Rosso is a multi-vintage red blend, combining 40% Pinot Nero, 30% Terrano, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 10% Merlot, sourced from 20-year-old vines rooted in red clay and limestone soils.
