Assisted by his close childhood friend Giulio Gambelli and a local named Bruno Bini (who was born on the property), Manetti produced his first vintage in 1971, with the humble intention of making wine to share with his family and friends. It turns out the trio had a real knack for their craft, and word swiftly spread in the area about the quality of wine Montevertine was creating from their excellently situated high-altitude vineyards. Manetti and Gambelli were ardent proponents of Sangiovese from the outset, and strongly opposed the appellation requirement that Chianti Classico include a portion of Trebbiano—a requirement they felt compromised the expression of place, particularly in such a refined terroir as Radda. When regulations later changed to allow Chianti Classico to be Trebbiano-free, Montevertine had long since abandoned the designation, and the wines have been classified as “Rosso di Toscana” since 1981—although, ironically, they are (and always have been) among the most visceral expressions of Chianti Classico in existence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEvery bottle issued forth from Montevertine’s cellar is a testament to the beauty which Sangiovese at its best can achieve. However, one wine stands as not only the estate’s pinnacle, but as one of Italy’s greatest wines: Le Pergole Torte. \u003ci\u003eLe Pergole Torte\u003c\/i\u003e, which translates loosely to “the crooked pergolas,” was the first vineyard Sergio planted in the late sixties, situated at around 425 meters of altitude, and through the late eighties Le Pergole Torte was a single-vineyard bottling.

Verzenay is, after all, Verzenay. But David’s wines are rather more glossy and fleshy, and correspondingly less sleek and filigreed. He has 7.5 hectares of which 6 are Grand Cru. The balance is Chardonnay in premier cru Villers-Marmery, but Pehu wants to bottle only Grand Cru Champagne and so this Chardonnay is sold off. His vineyards are a remarkably ecumenical group: Verzy, Verzenay, Mailly, Sillery and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe terrain of Verzy is made up of belemnite chalk and two varieties of micraster chalk, made up of a variety of Cretaceous echinoids. Verzy’s parcels form an extension of the famous vineyards at Verzenay on the northern slopes of Montagne de Reims. The best exposed slopes are those at an altitude from 150 to 200 meters (492 to 565 ft.). Oddly enough, Verzy was formerly a chardonnay village. It is today famous for its peppery, virile Pinot wines. With those of Verzenay, the pinot noir grapes here form the base for the finest Champagne vintages. A stony and gunpowder edge can be detected in the aftertaste, just as at Verzenay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVinification is either in tank or in barrel, depending on the particular wine. Pehu, who studied oenology in Burgundy, has been using barrels since 1988, and while most of his barrels are purchased second-hand from Burgundy, he’s experimenting more and more with local oak from Verzy, coopered by the Tonnellerie de Champagne in nearby Cauroy-les-Hermonville. Pehu strictly avoids the malolactic for all of his wines, including the red wines used for making rosé, as he believes that blocking the malo better preserves the finesse and expression of fruit in the long run.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pehu-Simonet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46333356540193,"sku":"210000012744","price":79.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0804\/6785\/3601\/files\/BHSTOCKWINEPHOTO-donotedit-2026-05-28T154913.301.png?v=1779997780"},{"product_id":"hospice-de-beaune-domaine-coche-dury-pommard","title":"2018  Hospice de Beaune Domaine Coche Dury \"Pommard - Épenots 1er cru\", Burgundy, France","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #6794b4; font-weight: 700;\"\u003eABOUT THE WINE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe Abbey of Cîteaux was a pioneer cultivating Burgundy’s vineyards.

These parcels are miniscule, so production is extremely small. The steep parcels that produce Escalada Do Sil and Escalada Do Bibei are located along the riverbanks of the Sil and Bibei rivers. Most of the surrounding vineyards have been abandoned, leaving them isolated and surrounded by forests and wild herbs. These vineyards are so remote and steep that tractors cannot access the vineyards, thus all work is done manually. These sites are unique pieces of history that produce one-of-a-kind wines from a territory that is almost extinct. All the work in these vineyards is done organically and following biodynamic principles.

Today Valdeorras is mostly known for the production of white Godello grapes, however before the 1800s, this region was known for the production of red wine, specifically grapes like Merenzao, which are rare to find today. Escalada Do Bibei is a blend of Merenzao, Mencía and Brancellao. Merenzao and Brancellao are very aromatic, offering aromas of strawberries and violets. In Portugal, the Merenzao grape takes the name of Bastardo and in France, specifically in the Jura region, it takes the name of Trousseau. Mencía provides body and Brancellao contributes acidity. The vineyards of this rare wine are near the cliffs of the Bibei River which is more narrow and steep than the neighboring Sil river. Valdeorras is known for its altitude and mineral soils composed of slate and granite. The region is in between Bierzo and Ribeira Sacra, but its climate is very different. Its higher elevation brings cooler nights and mornings, producing grapes with uplifted tones and refined tannins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #6794b4; font-weight: 700;\"\u003eABOUT THE PRODUCER\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlberto Orte is a force to be reckoned with, producing truly compelling and ambitious wines that have firmly established him as one of the most talented up and comers of the next generation of Spanish winemakers.

Since 2019, Raj Parr has leased the entire farm and grafted the own-rooted vines to a large variety of different grape varieties that are suited to the area’s cold climate. Working with famed producers in France’s Jura and Savoie and in Galicia, he has sourced cuttings of Trousseau, Poulsard, Savagnin, Mencia, and other varieties.

Domingo, Nicola's eldest son, inherited his father's dream and took the family winery to the next level, building the Catena business to become one of the largest vineyard holders in Mendoza.

Against a challenging backdrop of political and economic instability, with a military government that had just declared war on the United Kingdom, Nicolás concentrated on expanding distribution throughout the country. But in the early 1980s, Nicolás got an opportunity he couldn't refuse: He left Argentina for a short sabbatical to become a visiting scholar of economics at the University of California, on the world-renowned campus at Berkeley.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUntil that time, no one in the new world had dreamed of challenging France on the wine front—except, that is, for the Californians, who had decided to defy Europe by creating a Cabernet Sauvignon and a Chardonnay that could rival the best French wines. California—and especially the sun-drenched vineyards of Napa Valley—proved to be a serendipitous inspiration to Nicolás and his wife, Elena. They spent weekends visiting the wineries with their youngest daughter Adrianna in a backpack.

The estate is known for its high-elevation vineyards, which contribute to the finesse and complexity of its wines.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PERRINE's WINE SHOP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50839469850913,"sku":"210000019220","price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0804\/6785\/3601\/files\/WSSTOCKWINEPHOTO-donotedit_5.png?v=1738115848"},{"product_id":"2022-zd-wines-abacus-xxv-cabernet-sauvignon-napa-valley-california-usa","title":"2022 ZD Wines \"Abacus XXV\" Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, California, USA","description":"\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #6794b4; font-weight: 700;\"\u003eABOUT THE WINE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"757\" data-end=\"1219\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cem data-start=\"757\" data-end=\"769\"\u003eAbacus XXV\u003c\/em\u003e is ZD Wines’ crown jewel and one of the most unique Cabernet Sauvignons in the world.
