From the importer: Ripe cherries are harvested in June and immediately placed in stainless steel for fermentation that lasts for 9–10 days

a hill just north of Bolzano that sits in the heart of Santa Maddalena — the closest thing Schiava has to a grand cru

so this is a rare chance to drink Morey-quality winemaking without the Morey ask

Clos du Mont-Olivet traces back to the mid-1500s and is run today by the Sabon family

Joseph Phelps Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir Freestone Vineyards 2022 ALTCALI Moët & Chandon’s *Nectar Impérial*In the late 1990s, when few dared plant Pinot in Freestone, Joseph Phelps pioneered the true Sonoma Coast movement. The 2022 from organically tended estate vineyards ferments with 10% whole clusters and rests in 35% new oak, emerging with red cherry, pipe tobacco, mushroom, and dark spice. Medium bodied, supple, and juicya wine that opens doors to discovery.
