Giacomo Borgogno e Figli 'No Name' Langhe 2019 750mL
$52
ITALY : PIEDMONT
Nebbiolo
FULL-BODIED, RED FRUIT, CEDAR, LEATHER MINERAL, SMOKE, TAR, OAK
Borgogno (est. 1761) is a historic and famed estate known for its single-vineyard and Riserva Barolo. Ethereal, persistent, intense, and velvety, “No Name” is a sly protest against the bureaucracy and red tape that controls Italian viticulture. Not Barolo, but it might as well be.

Grillo
MED-FULL-BODIED, CANDIED CITRUS, APRICOT, OVERRIPE APPLE, WHITE PEPPER, USED OAK
100% Sicilian Grillo from the Contrada Triglia Cru (home to the best Grillo in Sicily, and therefore in the world)! Cloudy and bright amber in color, ‘Il Litro’ is a fuller-bodied orange wine with some nice tannic structure, intense citrus and apricot notes, and a wave of refreshing acidity. Grapes are hand-picked and pressed with feet; fermentation occurs via native yeasts with 10-12 days of skin contact; wine is aged on the lees in used French oak demi-muid (600L); unfined/unfiltered.

FRANCE : BURGUNDY
Pinot Noir
MED-BODIED, STRAWBERRY, RASPBERRY, BLACK PEPPER, MINERAL, NEUTRAL OAK
We were somewhat surprised to learn that Isabelle and Denis Pommier’s organically farmed 16 hectare estate in Chablis (est. 1990) near the village of Poinchy is one of the very few in the region to hand-harvest a significant portion of their production! Although most known for their distinctly mineral and terroir-driven Chablis, they also make a small amount of Bourgogne Rouge, such as the beautiful and energetic “Grain de Survie,’ which is equal parts fruit, floral, and earth.

FRANCE : BORDEAUX : SAINT-ÉMILION
Merlot
MED-FULL-BODIED, BLACK CHERRY, PLUM, RASPBERRY, SLATE, CEDAR, SOME OAK
Sourced from a tiny parcel of Grand Cru Saint-Émilion vines tended to by Catherine Grébau, 'Christiana' was created with the help of Grébau's son, Bertrand (an esteemed chef and creator of Septime in Paris). Although classic in style, 'Christiana' is equal parts elegance and warmth, and therefore feels a bit more approachable than some of its peers – with concentrated dark fruit, fresh acidity, and soft tannins.
WINEMAKING: Low-intervention under 20ppm sulfur added; aged in a mixture of amphorae, barrique, and stainless steel; only 3 vintages made
