Our Producers
We are obsessed with excellence, with the vision, restlessness and wisdom required to make and do something extraordinary. The magic of wine is that this drive translates to an object of emotion, one that touches you with beauty, pleasure and fascination. We believe our producers represent the greatest collection of exceptional wines in the world.
La Lupinella
Chianti
Lupinella brings tradition into play with modernity, following the natural artistic inclination of a land that has always made creativity its destiny. Purchased in the late 70s by Vittoriano Bitossi, heir of the Maiolica Ceramic artist, Guido Bitossi, the family has successfully transferred their family’s ceramics heritage to the land of Montespertoli and the challenges of winemaking. All wines are organic, with low interventionist winemaking efforts.
Domaine David Lefort
Burgundy
David Lefort, 32 years old, started his domaine in 2010 by first converting his 2.08 Ha property in Mercurey 1er Cru to organic agriculture. His rocky limestone soil is from superior Jurassic time with 20 year old vines. Starting with an organic approach in the vineyard, David continues in the cellar with minimal intervention using only indigenous yeast and gravity. Simply put, some of the best wines from this appellation.
Breaking Bread
Sonoma County
Breaking Bread is a new project by Erik Miller, owner and winemaker of Kokomo Wines. Erik’s interest in natural wine came about as he noticed a shift in the industry toward lower alcohol, food-friendly, and low-intervention wine. Erik wanted to be challenged in his craft as a winemaker and he also wanted to understand fermentation from a different perspective that could possibly play a part in his future vintages.
Old Vine Ranch by Marietta Cellars
California
The wines of Old Vine Ranch represent an authentic blend of tradition and creative spirit. Building on the fifty-year legacy of Old Vine Red (“One of the world’s iconic value wines” - Wine Advocate), each sip is a journey through California’s rich winemaking heritage. Carefully grown and crafted to be an easy indulgence and everyday celebration, these wines celebrate the fabulous diversity and quality of California’s vineyards.
Domaine Rewa
Central Otago
In 2010, taking a leap of faith, Philippa Shepherd purchased the 5.5-hectare vineyard that would become Domaine Rewa sight unseen. In the years since, the winery has undergone many improvements in the pursuit of making the best possible wines from the site, with the assistance of dedicated vineyard and winemaking teams. Domaine Rewa has practiced biodynamics gaining Biogro certification and now proudly farms in a sustainable organic manner.
Castello Nipozzano
Chianti Rùfina, Italy
Castello Nipozzano’s renown was documented during the Renaissance, when famed artists like Donatello and Michelozzo Michelozzi made regular purchases from the estate. In 1855, the Frescobaldi family began cultivating new varieties then-foreign to Tuscan soils at the estate – Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Rùfina is notable because of its altitude, which in addition to creating wines of freshness, allows a slower, drawn out ripening that results in wines with a beautiful concentration in the mid-palate and polished tannins.
Gorgona
Tuscany, Italy
The most unique winemaking collaboration in the world, the Gorgona prison colony seeks to give its inmates a path to reintegrate to society after their sentences by allowing them to learn agricultural trades in the open air. The Frescobaldi family has worked with the colony since 2012, with the vineyards totaling a miniscule two hectares.
Rèmole
Tuscany, Italy
The Rèmole estate lies just outside of Florence in Sieci, and was built in 1300 along the river Arno. It belonged to the forebears of the Frescobaldi family, and housed important workshops for working and trading wool. The wine that bears its name embodies the spirit of conviviality and the joy of a generous Tuscan table.
Tenuta Ammiraglia
Maremma, Italy
The Frescobaldis identified the Maremma as a land with great potential, its vines warmed by the sun and cooled by the sea breeze. Ammiraglia opened its cellar in 2011, designed by Piero Sartogo and Nathalie Grenon to resemble the prow of a ship pointing towards the sea. Fully integrated with the landscape, the building is covered with greenery and trees.
Tenuta Castiglioni
Tuscany, Italy
Castiglioni lies southwest of Florence in the gentle hills of the Val di Pesa, still serves as a residence of the Frescobaldi family today. The family has owned the property since the 11th century, and there are records of wine being grown here as early as 1300. It was built along the famed Via Castiglioni, a Roman road connecting northern Tuscany and Rome.
Castello Pomino
Tuscany, Italy
Castello Pomino was constructed in 1500, and the wines grown here have been garnering acclaim as early as 1716 when a proclamation of quality from the Grand Duke listed Pomino alongside Chianti, Carmignano and the Val d’Arno di Sopra. Leonia degli Albizzi married into the Frescobaldi family and brought the winery into its modern era, planting the noble varieties from her native Burgundy at the high altitudes of the area.
Tenuta CastelGiocondo
Montalcino, Italy
Located in Montalcino, CastelGiocondo has been in the Frescobaldi family since its purchase in 1989 and produces classic wines of power and longevity. Vittorio Frescobaldi began working as the estate’s agronomist in 1973, though the history of this ancient stronghold stretches back to the 12th century, when it was built to defend the road from Siena to the sea.
Tenuta Perano
Chianti Classico, Italy
Tenuta Perano has a long history in Chianti Classico and is situated in the original zone designated by Duke Cosimo III de’ Medici in 1716. The estate was acquired by the Frescobaldi family in 2014. The wines from Tenuta Perano showcase vibrant acidity, deep red fruit flavors and a signature minerality, delivering elegance, structure, and exceptional aging potential that reflects true Chianti terroir.
Totara
Marlborough
Totara wines are true to their region, expressing typical varietal characters, complexity, and, like the Totara tree, are made for longevity. The fruit and winemaking techniques used in the production of these wines are focused towards producing wines with a point of difference, and to be food-friendly in style.
Dandelion Vineyards
South Australia
Dandelion Vineyards wines represent decades of experience, blending the fruit of our heirloom vineyards with the finest traditions of artisan winemaking. They are a combination of old vineyards, a young winemaker, and a couple of mates to help out in-between, which they believe makes for the ideal winery.
