Bellivière - "Les P`tits Velos En Roue Libre" (2020)
Chenin Blanc from Loire, France

100% Chenin Blanc. This NV-labeled 2020 is the third vintage of sparkling estate Chenin from Bellivière. "P'tits Vélos" translates literally to "small bicycles" and is a euphemistic reference to the wheels turning in vigneron Eric Nicolas's mind. The cycling metaphor is extended further in the...

Chenin Blanc from Loire, France

100% Chenin Blanc. Éparses is Bellivière's oldest-vine cuvée, with ages ranging from 70 to 86 years old, across multiple parcels in the Coteaux du Loir: the name "éparses" is in fact in reference to the parcellation of the vineyards. These old vines on flinty clay soils, rich in tuffeau (soft...

Cascina degli Ulivi

Cascina degli Ulivi - IVAG
Cortese from Piedmont, Italy

100% Cortese. Stefano Bellotti consistently ran afoul of the Gavi DOCG rules by pursuing a very natural approach to this wine. He quit submitting it in the 2015 vintage and renamed it "IVAG" (Gavi in reverse), an indication of his thoughts on the matter of conventional Gavi. Ulivi's IVAG comes from...

Cascina degli Ulivi - Semplicemente Bianco VDT
Cortese from Piedmont, Italy

100% Cortese from Ulivi's estate vines in and around Gavi. As always, the fruit was destemmed and spontaneously fermented in tank and barrel and then aged 6 months+ in a gigantic 11,000-liter oak cask, with no sulfur added at any point. This is Ulivi's entry-level white, the crown cap indicative of...

Corvina blend from Veneto, Italy

50% Corvinone/20% Corvina/20% Rondinella/10% Croatina-Molinara-Dindarella. The fruit for the recioto comes from the home vineyard--the same, terraced, certified-biodynamic vines that produce their Saseti and Saustò wines--but from the older vines (30-40 years) and actually harvested earlier than...

Montesecondo - IGT Toscana Rosso "Loupé"
Sangiovese from Tuscany, Italy

90% Sangiovese/10% Colorino/Canaiolo . The true one-off "Loupé" 2020 bottling is the result of an administrative error at the winery: it comes from a single tank destined to be Chianti Classico but overlooked during the DOCG certification process, hence "loupé" or "missed/skipped" in French. As for...

70% Teroldego/15% Schiava/10% Lagrein/5% Merlot.
