Château Recougne
Bordeaux
Château Recougne has made wine for more than 400 years. Its name, said to come from King Henri IV in the early 17th century, means "recognition," granted for the quality of its wine. The Milhade family acquired the estate in the 1950s, and it remains their flagship, now overseen by Marc Milhade, the fourth generation of his family to make wine there. Farmed and vinified with a light touch, Recougne yields pure, energetic wines built to age. Robert M. Parker Jr. called it "...the best Bordeaux Supérieur money can buy."
Villa Gemma
Abruzzo
Villa Gemma is Masciarelli's flagship line, made up of the wines that first put Abruzzo on the map. The Montepulciano traces back to Colle Cave, a hillside vineyard in Chieti farmed since 1930 by Gianni Masciarelli's grandfather, and was named "Best Wine in Italy" by Gambero Rosso in 2000, earning 14 consecutive Tre Bicchieri awards since. Alongside it, the Bianco and Cerasuolo complete the Villa Gemma line with the same rigor and site-driven focus.
Marina Cvetić
Abruzzo
Marina Cvetić is Masciarelli's line of small-production, single-estate wines, named for the woman who has helped lead the winery since 1987. In 1991, Gianni Masciarelli named Montepulciano after his wife, a Serbian-born vintner, made from his best parcels and later grown into a full line. Made in far smaller volumes than the rest of the range, each wine is drawn from a curated set of parcels chosen to explore altitude, soil, and structure, built with complexity and aged to last.
Ammura
Sicily
Ammura brings Tommasi's heritage to Sicily on this 37-acre Mount Etna estate, where ancient volcanic soils and dramatic elevation deliver striking intensity. Nerello Mascalese and Carricante thrive in volcanic soils shaped by centuries of lava, among fossilized cannon stones and breathtaking sea views. With a cellar blending tradition and innovation, Ammura leads Etna’s modern wine scene, crafting Rosso and Bianco DOC that capture the volcano’s power, fertility, and timeless Sicilian spirit.
Frog’s Leap Winery
Napa Valley
Frog’s Leap is a pioneering, family-owned winery in Napa Valley founded in 1981 by John Williams. Originally from Western New York and trained in viticulture and enology at UC Davis, Williams built the winery on a foundation of humor, heritage, and sustainability. Known for its dry-farmed, organically grown wines, Frog’s Leap has become a leader in environmentally conscious winemaking, with achievements including silver certification & membership in International Wineries for Climate Action, CCOF certified organic, and TRUE Zero Waste certified. The winery’s journey—from its first Sauvignon Blanc pressed in a ramshackle barn to a thriving estate on the Rutherford Bench— reflects decades of thoughtful stewardship, family involvement, and commitment to the land.
Domaine Roy & Fils
Willamette Valley, Oregon
Domaine Roy & Fils farms 42 acres of pristine Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in the Dundee Hills and Yamhill-Carlton AVAs of the Willamette Valley. Committed to sustainable farming and innovation, the estate emphasizes precision vineyard management and clonal selection. Owned by the Frescobaldi family since 2023, Domaine Roy & Fils continues to elevate Oregon wine with a focus on terroir-driven excellence.
Raineri
Region
In 2005, three guys born and raised among the vineyards of the Langhe District in Piedmont started Raineri as a small production of Dolcetto from the famous Dogliani area. With the help of their families, and generous advice from wise producers, they were able to fulfill their dream of making classic wines of Piedmont, including Barbera, Nebbiolo and Barolo all from vineyards in Monforte d’Alba.
Michele Castellani
Region
Post-WWII Italy often saw vineyards abandoned as people moved to cities or abroad, but not Castellani. Michele Castellani founded the estate in 1945, and it grew into one of Valpolicella's most respected wineries. For decades, Castellani supplied premium fruit to renowned producers, bottling under their own label only in 1990. Today, they boast 17 hectares of certified organic vineyards on a stunning hillside estate.
Giacosa Fratelli
Region
Giacosa Fratelli, a fourth-generation winery in Piedmont, Italy, is known for its heritage and sustainability. Led by Maurizio Giacosa and his sons, they farm 120 acres, including top Barolo and Barbaresco plots like Scarrone’s Vigna Mandorlo. The winery focuses on sustainability, using solar power, CO2 capture, organic fertilization, and lightweight bottles. Today, the Giacosa family is one of Barolo's most renowned producers and stewards of the land.
Palazzo
Region
Palazzo’s foundation coincides with Montalcino’s rise as a top wine region. In 1982, Cosimo Loia and Antonietta Palazzo bought a hillside farm, later planting vines after a harsh winter killed their olive trees. Cosimo began making wine in 1994, starting with 1,000 bottles of Rosso di Montalcino and growing to 20,000 annually. Since Cosimo’s passing in 2012, Antonietta and their children, Angelo and Elia, organically farm 4.2 hectares, continuing his legacy.
Pietramaggio
Region
Pietramaggio is Tommaso Inghirami's Chianti Classico expression from their own high-altitude, low-yielding vineyard at the top of Greve, overlooking the Appennine mountains. The family owns and farms 54 hectares of certified organic vineyards with a focus on cooler sites to preserve freshness in the wines. Pietramaggio is produced at the Grignano estate, which has been in the Inghirami family since the early 1970’s and was once owned by Catherine of the Medici.
Val Des Rois
Region
Val des Rois is a 10-hectare, single estate winery planted in 1965 by 9th generation Burgundian winemaker Romain Bouchard in Valréas. The vineyard’s unique location benefits from the nightly, cool southeast air descending from the foothills of the Alps and produces wines that are significantly higher in natural acidity than typical of the Southern Rhône. Wines are made by the legendary Stéphane Vedeau, and wines and farming practices are certified organic by Ecocert.
Jules Desjourneys
Beaujolais, France
Jules Desjourneys wines from Beaujolais and Mâcon are among the most visionary in France. With old-vine Gamay in Beaujolais and precise, oak-free Chardonnay in Mâcon, winemaker Fabien Duperray crafts wines of depth, energy and elegance. Farming is biodynamic and intensely manual; élevage is long and patient. As William Kelley from The Wine Advocate writes, “In merely a handful of years, this project has begun to consistently realize wines of genius...” These genre-defying wine reimagine what’s possible in two regions often overshadowed by the Côte d'Or.
Castaldi
Piedmont
With over 300 years farming the hills around Fara and Colline Novaresi, Castaldi offers deep winemaking know-how of this corner in Alto Piedmont. The family owns 6.5 hectares of vineyards, which were mostly replanted in 1997. Along with Nebbiolo, Castaldi plants Vespolina, Uva Rara and white indigenous grapes. Winemaking is traditional for the area, emphasizing neutral and large format vessels.
Storm Point
Swartland
Storm Point makes incredible value, naturally-fermented wines from the Swartland, the birthplace of South Africa's new-wave.
