Cantina Giardino, ‘Fra’ Falanghina 2020

$39.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Falanghina (Orange Wine)

Six friends decided to join forces making wine around the mountain town of Irpinia in the coastal southern region of Campania. The focus of Cantina Giardino is reviving old vineyards sites in the area, and putting the spotlight on the local, traditional varieties. The farmers of these sites, locally called contadini, were often in danger of having to leave or uproot their vineyards; Giardino has been making efforts to bring sustainability back to the area. The quirks of their winemaking often stem from the variety of their ageing vessels, which relies on instinct over formula. In the cellar, the wines are created naturally, with small doses of sulphur added. Their labels are pronounced, all designed by local artists.

This Falanghina comes from 30 year old vines based in volcanic soil. Like the rest of their white wines, this one spends a few days on its skins to impart texture and flavor. It is then aged in chestnut casks, a unique aging vessel for whites wines. The wine does not receive any additional sulfur.

Les Equilibristes, Perigord Hirsute Blanc 2020

$20.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc, and Chenin Blanc

Les Équilibristes are the tightrope walkers. They walk a daring path where their rules are straightforward and singular though their focus brings together several grape varieties over several French wine growing regions. The entire concept was imagined by two minds heavily rooted in the wine world, something they’ve dubbed “Winemaking 2.0.” It allows a network of creativity to be shared and manifested. Francois de Monval is the “wine merchant” while his partner Florent Girou is the “travelling oenologist” and winemaker. The wines are natural at their core, but showcase the importance of creating relationships and collaborating.

Perigord is a lesser known appellation in southwest France. The style of this wine is reminiscent of Bordeaux Blanc whites, but with the addition of Chenin Blanc. The Sauvignon undergoes 48 hours of skin maceration before blending. The wine ages in barrels for six months, and then goes on to age in amphora on its lees. This wine is complex with a pleasant bitterness.

Fongoli, "Biancofongoli" 2020

$22.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Grechetto and Trebbiano Spolentino

The region of Montefalco has long been known for conventional farming. There have been two serious winemakers to bring a sense of place to their winemaking; that would be the projects of Paolo Bea and Angelo Fongoli. Angelo is running not just a winery, but a polycultural farm that has been certified organic while also implementing biodynamic practices. The farm also sees a plethora of olives trees and natural truffles. The winemaking is minimal at most. The white wines see some extension of skin contact and several of the wines are aged in amphora. Angelo and wife Letizia are making some of the finest wines out of Umbria.

While this wine does see skin-contact, the Trebbiano grapes are only macerated on the skins for two days. Trebbiano is blended with its classic counterpart Grechetto to make a classic wine representation of Umbria. The wine is completely natural with no added sulphur.

Succes Vinicola, Experiencia Parellada 2020

$19.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Parellada

This winemaking tale happens in the small appellation of Conca de Barbera, located just a stone’s throw from the Atlantic Ocean in the region of Catalunya. A couple that was brought together by their love of wine. Initially the project was facilitated by “Viver de Celleristes,” a winemaking facility that allowed young entrepreneurs space to create their wines. They eventually moved to a more permanent winemaking residence in a garagiste winery. With them being so new to the Conco de Barbera appellation, other local growers assumed the couple did not know what they were doing as they were using organic methods. Mariona and Albert take part in all the work together. The wines are made in a natural manner, which is progressively becoming more and more of a focus in The New Spain.

Paralleda is one of those varieties that is only grown in a specific place, and that would be in Catalonia, Spain. The grape is known for its tart green apple flavors and for its production in Cava. The fruit comes from a farm with vines over 40 years old. The wine is allowed to ferment spontaneously with natural yeast, and experiences 20 days of skin contact.

COS, Zibibbo in Pithos Bianco 2018

$38.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Muscat of Alexandria (Zibbibo)

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.

What a unique wine, which is saying something in regards to the usual wines coming from COS. Zibbibo is the name for Muscat de Alexandria when grown in Sicily. While the variety does have potential as a sweet wine, this is vinified dry. The wine also sees skin contact for a whopping seven months while it ages in amphorae, or pithos, the Greek name for the same ageing vessel. Even for the richer, tannic style wine, the alcohol is only 11.5% and the acidity is completely in balance.

La Baronne, Le Grenache Gris de Jean 2018

$30.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Grenache Gris

If you take some doctors, whose family has some old land holdings, and let them be farmers you end up with some pretty amazing juice. They care about all the health benefits of wine and they cut out all the things that are bad for you. They just make wine from grapes, pretty simple. They may be called “natural” but these are truly wines we crave and love. Jean is the village doctor and he and his wife have family ties in the wine world dating back to the 16th century. The family farms with organic, intuitive practices to preserve the life of the soils and the entire property works as an eco-system. There are some incredibly old vines on site, over 115 years old, and it is pretty special to have access to this age of rootstock.

Using one of the classic varieties of the Languedoc, Grenache Gris, the fruit is aged for several months on its skins. It then goes on to age in clay amphorae for several months. The skin maceration extends the life of this orange wine, protecting it from oxidation and giving it richness, spice, and texture!

Donkey & Goat, Pinot Gris Ramato Filigreen Farm Anderson Valley 2019

$36.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Pinot Gris (Orange Wine)

In short, Jared and Tracey Brandt of Donkey and Goat Winery are pioneers of the natural winemaking movement in California. After spending time in France back in 2002 with noteworthy winemaker Eric Texier, they returned home to Cali, inspired and ready to apply their inspirations in winemaking and marketing. Using a completely natural process in the cellar and vineyards; the couple does not fine or filter the wines, and just a small amount of sulfur is used at bottling. Their winemaking headquarters are located in Berkeley where they can implement their hands-on approach; they source grapes from Sierra Nevada, Mendocino, and Napa.

Pinot Gris, or Pinot Grigio, has many shades. In the northern areas of Italy, like Friuli, “Ramato” was a method of using skin contact to impart texture, color, and richness to the Pinot Grigio. This grape variety is unique in that it is “grey” in color on the vine, but can produce a strikingly orange-hued juice. This bottle comes from purely free-run juice to make for a softer wine. It’s like biting into a tart apricot with the funk you’d expect from an orange wine while delivering the quirkiness of Donkey and Goat. Fun fact: ramato is Italian for a red-haired person.

Menti, Roncaie sui Lieviti 2020

$20.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Garganega (Orange Wine)

The Menti winery is now on the fourth generation of winemaking in Gambellara village in the Veneto region. The winery was begun by Menti Giovanni at the end of the 19th century. It all began with the Garganega grape, along with other agriculture like fruit, legumes, and vegetables. Giovanni decided to cultivate volcanic soils there, knowing perhaps that they would prove to be fruitful. Fast forward to the current generation upheld by Giovanni’s great-grandson, Stefano focuses on biodynamic agriculture and started converting all vineyards to organic growing in 2011. The following year, Stefano decided to no longer bottle his wines as DOC.

This is a fun sparkling bottling from Menti made purely from the Garganega grape which he does so well with. The wine undergoes a second fermentation, which needs a sugar kick-start to initiate it. This is done by way of Albina juice, aka unfermented juice. It is a natural fizzy wine because it does not have the addition of sulfites.

This is an orange wine, or amber wine, made from the Garganega variety coming from volcanic soils in the Gambellara area of Veneto. It spends time on its skins to give it its saturated color and dynamic structure. It is fermented with wild yeast and then goes on to age its lees for about a year in concrete tanks. To complete its journey, the wine ages in the bottle.

COS, Pithos Bianco 2019

$38.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Grecanico, also known as Garganega (Orange Wine)

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.

This Grecanico comes from the single estate vineyard of Fontane. This vintage spends over one month on its skins in traditional amphora clay pots used in ancient Mediterranean winemaking. We recommend this wine at a slightly warmer temperature than often recommended for white wine, as it drinks more like a light red.

Cantine Barbera, Menfi Aremi Bianco Superiore 2017

$35.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Catarratto (Orange Wine)

Marilena Barbera is proprietor and winemaker at Cantine Barbera, a boutique winery located in Menfi, on the Southwest coast of Sicily. Her family has been grape producers for three generations. From her grandfather who planted the first indigenous vineyards in the early 1920’s to her father who walked in his parent’s footsteps and selected the grape varieties which would best adapt to the land’s micro-climatic conditions. Her commitment is to produce high quality wines only with the grapes grown and selected in their 30 hectares in Tenuta Belicello, only a few steps away from the Mediterranean Sea while continuing to carry on her father’s dream.

This is made from Catarratto, one of Sicily’s main white varieties and comes from volcanic soil rich in minerals. The juice experiences 15 days of skin contact. The ageing process is 14 months on the lees done between stainless steel and untoasted Slavonian oak. This is a rich exuberant wine meant to be enjoyed with Mediterranean fare and enjoyed cool, not cold.

Alfredo Maestro, Lovamor 2020

$33.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Albillo

Alfredo Maestro’s family came to Peñafiel from the Basque Country. Having grown up amongst the vines, he had a great interest in wine and started making his own from an early age. From the beginning, he farmed organically, yet in the cellar he worked literally by the book, teaching himself enology from a textbook, using all the tricks to make a “correct” wine of Ribera del Duero. He would use cultured yeasts, tannins, color enhancers, etc. It took some time, but Alfredo eventually had a revelation—as an organic farmer, why would he use chemicals to adjust the finished wine? It made the most sense for his cellar work to match the integrity which he used in the vineyard—so he did just that. He began eliminating unnecessary products and additives. By 2003 he was making wine without additives whatsoever, including sulfur.

Lovamor is made from 60-170 year old Albillo vines in Ribera del Duero. The elevation here is 700-1000 meters. The Albillo variety undergoes around 7 days of skin contact to fulfill its orange wine quality. It is fermented in a mix of stainless and large chestnut foudres and bottled with no added sulfites. This is a wine with depth, texture, and hefty minerality.

Variety: Pinot Gris (Orange Wine)

Meinklang has taken the wine world by storm in the last few years due to the family's passion for making diverse products from the estate. Farming is at the core, with full bio-dynamic practices in place. The family has a full herd of Angus and Aubrac cattle, plus sheep. The farm believes in a full circle of life within the vineyards and farmland. The family has even achieved Demeter certification, one of the most difficult biodynamic certifications. The estate is located in the middle of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of National Park Neusiedlersee in Austria, just on the border of Hungary. The insane number of different wine labels produced shows the passion for creating wine with character and personality, with over 20 labels in production.

It sounds pretty nuts: Create a 2,000 hectare farm on marshlands that used to be part of Austria’s biggest lake, let your Pinot Grigio vineyard run wild without any pruning, harvest, then ferment in concrete eggs with the skins for three weeks. That’s exactly how biodynamic estate Meinklang produced this delicious bottle.

COS, Rami 2020

$30.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Grecanico Dorato and Insolia

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.

L'Archetipo, Salento Fiano 2020

$20.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Fiano (Orange Wine)

Since the 80’s Francesco Valentino began to convert his land to organic farming, but he came to find he wanted more from the vitality of his vineyards. In 2000 he implemented biodynamic farming. These practices are thanks to his studies on Rudolf Steiner, an Austrian scientist/thinker who touched on endless fields of human endeavor, including biodynamic farming. After a few years of biodynamics, he realized there was still something further to be done. Francesco studied the works of Masanobu Fukuoka, a farmer/philosopher known as the father of modern day natural farming. At long last, he implemented sustainable agriculture, in which all synergies in his vineyard ecosystem were linked: the Synergistic Agriculture, a balanced ecosystem.

This Fiano hails from the Salento IGP in the region of Puglia, the region encompassing the entire heel of the boot. With biodynamic farming taken from Rudolf Steiner’s teachings, this Fiano used native yeasts for its fermentation, extending its expression of terroir. The juice macerates on its skins for 6-7 days classifying it as an orange wine. It also undergoes 5-6 months of ageing in steel tanks on its lees. This is a wine of expression, yet it’s soft and fresh.

Meinklang, H17 2017

$30.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Harslevelu (Orange Wine)

Meinklang has taken the wine world by storm in the last few years due to the family's passion for making diverse products from the estate. Farming is at the core, with full bio-dynamic practices in place. The family has a full herd of Angus and Aubrac cattle, plus sheep. The farm believes in a full circle of life within the vineyards and farmland. The family has even achieved Demeter certification, one of the most difficult biodynamic certifications. The estate is located in the middle of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of National Park Neusiedlersee in Austria, just on the border of Hungary. The insane number of different wine labels produced shows the passion for creating wine with character and personality, with over 20 labels in production.

The vines of Meinklang actually span the Austrian-Hungarian border. The H17 Harslevelu vines actually come from Somlo, an inactive volcano site and one of the world's smallest and most unique wine regions in western Hungary. Not unlike Mount Etna in Sicily, the Somlo hillsides are filled with deposits of volcanic ash making for a robust and full-bodied wine. Add the two days of skin maceration and wild yeast fermentation and this wine results in something tannic and thought-provoking.
