There are over 10,000 grape varieties and 6,000 belonging to wine species Vitis vinifera. Ask yourself, “Have you tasted at least 100 wine varietials”? If not, then why not expand your horizons? We live in a time where access to wines all across the world have increased, yet we are still stuck in the homogenization of the post-phylloxera era. Join us and Marco Uperi of Artevino as we pour indigenous varietals from Europe.

Piaggia - Vannucci 'Piaggia' Carmignano Riserva DOCG, 2016 - $48/BTL

70% Sangiovese, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, 10% Merlot. Piaggia has managed to solidly establish its place among the great wineries of the classic Tuscan DOC of Carmignano, being called by Gambero Rosso “one of the best wineries in the region of Carmignano, rather, in Tuscany.” Notes of flowers, dried cherry, and cassis, and cocoa on the nose. On the palate, flavors of ripe red berry fruit, lots of ripe tannins, and a long fresh finish.

75% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc. The Second Wine of Château Beauregard, Benjamin de Beauregard, is made from a strict selection of plots on sandier soils. It benefits from the same high-performing vinification facilities as the first wine, however, the the ageing process is shorter and is carried out in no more than 30% new oak. The flavors are earthy in nature, and smooth but high in tannins.
