Monte Bernardi, Chianti Classico Fiasco 2017

$25.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Sangiovese

Even though the estate Monte Bernardi dates back to 1085 in the region of Panzano in Tuscany, Michael Schmelzer and family purchased the estate in 2003 and have been making beautiful Sangiovese-based wines and olive oil ever since. The “Fiasco” bottling is unique at present, though in the past, it was the standard bottling. But why call the style of bottle a “fiasco” anyway and why did these wicker basket fall out of style? Post World War II, the economy was prospering and wages of the skilled workers who made the baskets rose so that it was more expensive to make the basket and bottle than the actual wine inside. It also turns out Italians were worried about their wine coming off as simple county wine, so back to sleek bottles it went. As for the meaning, “fiasco” comes from the same origin as the English word “flask.” The term “fare fiasco” means to “make a bottle.” As for the English figurative meaning of fiasco (failing), it is unknown where this came from.

Stolpman Trousseau Pet Nat 'Combe' Ballard Canyon 2019

$45.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Trousseau

When winemakers Pete Stolpman and Rajat Parr decided to collaborate on this particular project, wondrous things inevitably would happen. The project is named “Combe'' for the French word referring to a sheltered valley in a vineyard. Pete and his parents had been growing native French varietals in Ballard Canyon for years, though once Raj discovered the pale limestone soils, the Jura native variety Trousseau made its home here. They bottled a Pet-nat of Trousseau—the only Trousseau Pet-Nat in the world! As the oldest method of sparkling winemaking, this style is considerably unique. This wine was harvested, disgorged, and bottled early all to retain freshness and life with the bubbles created naturally in the bottle.

Peter Lauer, Riesling Barrel X 2020

$25.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Riesling

For purists, there is nothing like the Saar. It is arguably one of the greatest, most unique wine-growing regions on earth. The core of greatness in the Saar is intensity without weight, grandiosity without size. At Lauer, the focus is on dry-tasting Rieslings as opposed to the residual sugar wines of others in the region. For this style, there are really only two addresses in the Saar: Lauer and Hofgut Falkenstein.

Employing natural-yeast fermentations, Lauer’s wines find their own balance. They tend to be more textural, deeper and more masculine. They have a preternatural sense of balance, an energy that is singular. Yet the hallmarks of the Saar are there: purity, precision, rigor, mineral.

Ampeleia, Ampeleia Costa Toscana 2015

$50.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Cabernet Franc

The wines of Ampeleia have captivated my palate for years. My first exposure was to the estate’s Super Tuscan primarily made from Cabernet Franc. Yet, as I got to know more and more about the winery and the people behind the bottles I began to realize their vision was moving towards what they call “Mediterranean basin” varietals. Ampeleia’s “Ampeleia” is the estate’s flagship wine and has been getting attention since its first bottling shortly after the property was founded in 2002.

“Ampeleia is one of the stars of the Tuscan coast ... At their best, the Ampeleia wines are among the most pure, transparent expressions of the coast readers will find. Elisabetta Foradori and her team are doing important work here. Ampeleia is a young estate. There is every reason to believe the best is yet to come.” —Antonio Galloni

Matthiasson, Chardonnay "Michael Mara Vineyard" 2016

$70.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Chardonnay

Steve Matthiasson is a California pioneer. Daring to break Napa tradition, Steve and his wife Jill have planted rare, ancient Italian grapes including Ribolla Gialla and Refosco in their home vineyard – definitely worth an experimental try! As farmers, Steve and Jill recognize that Napa loves Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and all the well-known international grapes. A Matthiasson tasting experience, laid out on the picnic table that separates their home from the winemaking operation (with their dog and at least one son stopping by!) shows instantly how the couple reveres the place they farm together. The Linda Vista vineyard is just across the creek behind their home – according to Steve, one of the classic Chardonnay spots in Napa.

Matthiasson, Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2017

$80.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot

Steve Matthiasson is a California pioneer, building his reputation on vineyard management of top properties up and down the California coast. As farmers, Steve and Jill recognize that Napa loves Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and many well-known international grapes. He always felt there was a need for an honest glass of Cabernet that was perfect for the table and ready to drink, yet the quality of the fruit should still be pure and unmanipulated. A Matthiasson tasting experience, laid out on the picnic table that separates their home from the winemaking operation (with their dog and at least one son stopping by!) shows instantly how the couple reveres the place they farm together.

This bottle is a classic example of how Cabernet Sauvignon blends well with its other Bordeaux variety friends—small amounts of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. The blend comprises of six vineyards across Napa drawn from Coombsville, Rutherford, and Oak Knoll appellations. This bottle spends 20 months in mixed barrels, 20% of which is new French oak.

Matthiasson, Village Cabernet Sauvignon No.2 2018

$38.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon

Steve Matthiasson is a California pioneer, building his reputation on vineyard management of top properties up and down the California coast. As farmers, Steve and Jill recognize that Napa loves Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and many well-known international grapes. A Matthiasson tasting experience, laid out on the picnic table that separates their home from the winemaking operation (with their dog and at least one son stopping by!) shows instantly how the couple reveres the place they farm together.

He always felt there was a need for an honest glass of Cabernet that was perfect for the table and ready to drink, yet the quality of the fruit should still be pure and unmanipulated—something nearly impossible to find under sixty dollars in California. This is the only the second time this wine has been made.

Tenuta di Carleone, Chianti Classico 2018

$30.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Sangiovese

Tenuta Carleone di Castiglioni was first mentioned in the year 1078 when monks first founded it in Chianti, named for the village of Castiglioni meaning “small castle.” The property is a romantic vision of wooded hills, rivers, and fertile plains. Nestled in between the hills are the Sangiovese vines and olive trees. Though the property was farmed for hundreds of years, it did not become the winery of Tenuta di Carleone until 2012. Karl Egger and Sean O’Callaghan both operate the winery with a clear vision, making Sangiovese in a classic way, though with Sean’s twist. Nothing is added to the wine, grappa, or cold-pressed olive oils. Keep an eye on their other Sangiovese expressions, Il Guercio, Uno, Chianti Classico, and their grappa of Sangiovese named “Zero.”

Tenuta La Farnete, Barco Reale DOC di Carmignano 2019

$15.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon

Carmignano is an Italian wine region located in the Tuscany region and centered on the city of Carmignano, about 10 miles northwest of Florence. In the 18th century, the producers of the Carmignano region developed a tradition of blending Sangiovese with Cabernet Sauvignon, long before the practice became popularized by the "Super Tuscan" of the late 20th century. The Pierazzuoli Family has had the Farnete estate since 1990. The property is located in the town of Carmignano near the town of Firenze. The family operates another property in Carmignano, as well as overseeing an osteria, farmhouse, and their own olive oil production. Their wines continue to win multiple Gambero Rosso ratings.

This wine took its name from the 2 meters high and 52 Km long wall surrounding (Barco Reale) that the Medici had raised in 1626 to delimit the area and one can say that this has been the first natural reserve of Italy. The Sangiovese & Cabernet are fermented in stainless steel then assembled together for release the following Autumn.

COS, Nero di Lupo 2018

$30.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Nero d’Avola

Giusto Occhipinti of COS is one of the most critical names in Italy. COS was founded by three friends to make traditional wine with respect for the place the grapes are grown. During their first harvest in 1980, they were the youngest wine producers in Italy. The acronym of their three last names forms “COS.” They were early adopters to Biodynamic farming, starting a movement on the island, which are still golden standards. The friends are hard workers, using an old winery given to them by a family friend and opting to use terracotta vases for ageing, a completely neutral vessel. Sicily has just one DOCG—Cerasuolo di Vittoria; the friends were the first winery to bottle a DOCG wine in Sicily. COS is located in Vittoria, the farthest tip of southeastern Sicily. The area recalls that of Africa, with its climate and land of red, ochre, and yellow tones.

These are vines that are harvested by hand, and never feel the harsh touch of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Its high-altitude vineyards are some of the best in the region, some would say they are the very best. The wines themselves offer a complexity that is difficult to believe, and yet betray simple elements of the stone
and earth of their home, a characteristic certainly of great Italian wine. Le Pergole Torte is a rare collaboration between rusticity and finesse, and brings layer upon layer of flavor that reminds us why we drink wine.

Monte Bernardi, Chianti Classico Retromarcia 2018

$25.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Sangiovese

Monte Bernardi is one of Hart & Cru’s go-to Tuscany producers for many reasons. We just love Michael Schmelzer, owner, and winemaker. He is dedicated, hard-working, and cares about proper farming without putting junk in your wine, and overall, his wines are delicious. This bottling is produced from vines over 40 years old and grown in some of the prized sites on the property. However in this vintage, the Chianti overlords refused to grant the wine Riserva due to the color not being dark enough (which other producers achieve by manipulating their wines). This, to us at Hart & Cru, is one of the problems with the wine world. It is not always just about how delicious the wine tastes. The corporate wineries in the region can make things very difficult, even especially when the wine can win without question in a double blind, blindfolded, tasting. Which, in our world is normally the case with Monte Bernardi wines.

Isole e Olena, Cepparello 2016

$100.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Sangiovese

Two vineyards in the heart of Chianti Classico were joined in the 1950s, forming what is now called Isole e Olena. The de Marchi family got its start in winemaking three generations ago in the mountains of Northern Italy (Piedmont), but moved to Tuscany for the opportunity to create a larger vineyard property. Paolo de Marchi is the current generation winemaker. Over 43 years, he has earned a reputation as “Mr. Sangiovese” by experimenting with 100% Sangiovese wines in a region where a classic blending recipe is locked into disciplinare rules.

This is Cepparello, first produced in 1980. It is widely acclaimed as one of the greatest expressions of Sangiovese today. Here’s one description of the complex 2015 Cepparello: “Shows lots of black cherries, cranberry tea, caramelized orange peel, roasted herbs and citrus peel. Full-bodied with ripe and quite round tannins that frame layers of cherries. Bright and fresh, yet rich and long at the same time. The sangiovese character really springs out of the glass.”

G.D. Vajra, Rosabella 2020

$20.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Nebbiolo, Barbera and Dolcetto

The Vajra story is something quite magical. The family is not from noble descendants but is a family of hard-working, passionate, caring people. Their focus is on building something for their children, caring about the community, and cementing the stories of the regions’ past.

The G.D. Vajra winery was created in 1972 by Aldo and Milena Vaira, initially from vineyards planted by Aldo’s father in 1947. The winery was named for Aldo’s father, Giuseppe Domenico Vaira, because at the time Aldo was not old enough to establish the winery in his own name. The spelling of the family name (Vaira) is different from the label (Vajra) for this reason: in 1918 the “j” was eliminated from most Italian words, so the Vaira family changed their spelling. However, the design of the wine label looked like a “j” so they kept the original spelling for the winery. Today the family has 40 hectares under vine in Barolo and other surrounding appellations. Their prized holdings in Bricco delle Viole were planted in 1949 by Aldo’s grandfather. Milena and Aldo’s three children – Giuseppe, Francesca, and Isidoro – are all involved in the family winery operation situated in the village of Vergne.

Proprieta Sperino, Coste della Sesia Uvaggio 2016

$40.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Nebbiolo, Vespolina, Croatina

Stated as “a courageous wine growing archaeology project, that speaks of passion. Proprieta Sperino is the realization of a dream: to restore the important tradition of Lessona wines by recovering the historic cellars to produce a wine with the greatest respect for local tradition.” This is the undertaking of famed winemaker, Paolo di Marchi, a pursuit that defines the second portion of his wine career. Paolo gained recognition at his Tuscan property, Isole e Olena, and now he wants to revive the Northern Piemonte site that has been in his family for years. This project was started in 1999 and now Paolo, with his son Luca, are producing classic wines from these incredible vineyards, which have a history dating back to the early 1800’s. It is exciting to see work going back into the region to make it great again.

This Nebbiolo, Vespolina, and Croatina blend comes from a small DOC nestled next to the Bramaterra and Lessona appellations. “Uvaggio” is the traditional name for a blend made with different grape varieties. Coste della Sesia Rosso is the name of this appellation from Alta Piedmonte, sitting right next to Bramaterra and Lessona. The wine ages in a combination of barrique, barrel, and oval for 18 months before ageing in the bottle for several months prior to its release.

Luigi Baudana, Barolo Baudana 2015

$100.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Nebbiolo

Arriving at Luigi Baudana is akin to entering the garage or basement of an old house in a sleepy European village. It’s shouldered up against the house next door, just down a short driveway and behind an old iron gate. Upon entering, it becomes immediately apparent just how small-scale this venture really is and the scarcity of the wines suddenly makes total sense. Luigi Baudana is one of the last of the old guard producers in Serralunga, Barolo. As Luigi and his wife Fiorina started slowing down, they began to look for a steward for both their vineyard sites (Baudana and Cerretta) as well as their existing wines. Giuseppe Vajra of G.D. Vajra was a natural choice, with an acute understanding towards preserving the soul of these great wines. Giuseppe is now the guardian of Luigi’s cumulative vision, but will also function as the catalyst to propel the vineyards forward, maintaining the highest standards of Barolo.

This Barolo brings the art of blending, drawing from vineyards located in Serralunga, a commune within Barolo. The Nebbiolo vines are 20-30 years in age, expressing the terroir of this village.

G.D. Vajra, N.S. Della Neve, Extra Brut, Metodo Classico Rosato NV

The Vajra story is something quite magical. The family is not from noble descendants but is a family of hard-working, passionate, caring people. Their focus is on building something for their children, caring about the community, and cementing the stories of the regions’ past.

The G.D. Vajra winery was created in 1972 by Aldo and Milena Vaira, initially from vineyards planted by Aldo’s father in 1947.

Milena and Aldo’s three children – Giuseppe, Francesca, and Isidoro – are all involved in the family winery operation situated in the village of Vergne.

The story behind the wine began with Thomas Jefferson when he was French ambassador and often traveled to Piedmont. During his visits, he drank Nebbiolo and proclaimed that it was as brisk as Champagne. The Vajra family later challenged this statement by making a wine with both Nebbiolo and the Champagne grape, Pinot Noir, as its blend. This bottle gets its name from the chapel that sits on the slopes of the vineyards: “Nostra Signora Della Neve” which means "Our Lady of the Snow" referring to the barren soil which still produces beautiful fruit from this site.

G.D. Vajra, Barolo Bricco Delle Viole 2015

$100.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Nebbiolo

The Vajra story is something quite magical. The family is not from noble descendants but is a family of hard-working, passionate, caring people. Their focus is on building something for their children, caring about the community, and cementing the stories of the regions’ past.

The G.D. Vajra winery was created in 1972 by Aldo and Milena Vaira, initially from vineyards planted by Aldo’s father in 1947. The winery was named for Aldo’s father, Giuseppe Domenico Vaira, because at the time Aldo was not old enough to establish the winery in his own name. The spelling of the family name (Vaira) is different from the label (Vajra) for this reason: in 1918 the “j” was eliminated from most Italian words, so the Vaira family changed their spelling. However, the design of the wine label looked like a “j” so they kept the original spelling for the winery. Today the family has 40 hectares under vine in Barolo and other surrounding appellations. Their prized holdings in Bricco delle Viole were planted in 1949 by Aldo’s grandfather. Milena and Aldo’s three children – Giuseppe, Francesca, and Isidoro – are all involved in the family winery operation situated in the village of Vergne.

Bricco delle Viole is a significant vineyards as it is the highest and closest to the Alps, ranging from 400-480 meters. Its name means "hill of violets" referring to the blossoms at the top of the hill during the spring. The oak ageing takes place in large Slavonian casks for almost 32 months.

Fratelli Alessandria, Barolo 2016

$68.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Nebbiolo

The Alessandria family – owner Gian Battista, his wife Flavia, brother Alessandro, and son Vittore – lovingly produce a robust range of Piedmont specialty wines from start to finish. The farmer of the group, Gian’s philosophy is “the best wine comes from a great vineyard.” Located in the town of Verduno, in the comune of Barolo, the property has operated as a winery since the early 19th century. The wines were winning prizes as early as 1843. The original Alessandria brothers (fratelli) purchased the property in 1870.

This Barolo showcases the harmony of the blending style that is classic to the region. Today’s Baroli are more often made into a cru style, this bottle is a blend of several vineyards from Monforte d’Alba and Verduno. It is aged and cellared in the winery’s standard way: three years in Slavonian oak, two months in steel, and six months in bottle.
