Drinking now

living_wine

Bringing to the US small growers' wines; low intervention, natural, biodynamic, organic... Here are wines we drink, not only the ones we import.

Great evening exploring another side of Piedmont’s wine world. Marco and Tomaso from Forti del Vento are making very interesting wines in the Ovada region. Some beautiful Dolcettos, but also some Nibiö, Cortese, Barbera and more. They are definitely going full throttle on the natural path: zero-zero. Their wines are classic, they need time. With it, they build great balance and are much more than what one can sometime expect from a zero-zero natural wine. Soon some should land in NYC 😍😍😍. #piedmontwine #naturalwine #vinnatur #nattywine #zerozero #realwine #livingwine #italianwine #dolcettodiovada #vinsvivants #vindevigneron #realwine #ovadadocg #ovadawine #italianwine #organicwine #organic

Soon leaving for italy, last 3 days were a lot of fun, a lot of work too, met rockstars winemakers in the french alps and north rhone, passionate people at every place we stop, went trough Dauphiné where electricity got shut down and will come back not before two more days, where snow destroyed orchards - so sorry for the farmers, tasted a lot of grape varieties, the region has more grapes than anybody could imagine... and now heading to north italy. Thank you Savoie, Isère, Drôme and Ardèche!

The “Reine des liqueurs” moving in, 2018, probably some of the last Voiron 😋... didn’t know anything about it... when should we taste?
Merci @arnaudpappini for scouting!

Tasting new wines should be taken seriously. It’s a tough work. No joke. Right?

[what we drink]
Ok, it should probably wait way longer... but so delicious. Chateau Chalon Domaine Macle. Paired with a great camembert, a little pepper... perfect pairing and a tiny wine shower, thanks @mercerie_mullot for the inspiration!

Re-traveller tip 🎒🍇🍄🐟🦐🦑🍷🍷⁣
Another memorable night at @mercerie_mullot ⁣
Amazing food as ever (we can say it now...) and a really nice progression on wines. ⁣
⁣
🔸Les Perrières, Saumur 2018, Arnaud Lambert. A great chenin from Loire to get started, quite classic, super bright and fresh. ⁣
🔸Cote du Jura Les Molates, Chardonnay from Les Marnes Blanches. ⁣
🔸Eau Forte from Jean-Claude Lapalu, this Brouilly-Cote de Brouilly really worked well with our food!⁣
🔸Moved a bit north to Saint Romain for this Sous Roche 2017 Domaine de Chassorney by Frederic Cossard⁣
🔸Finished back to Loire with L’Enfant Terrible 2016 of Nicolas Reau.⁣
⁣
And our friends sharing the restaurant with us let us taste this Hautes-Côtes de Beaune from Domaine des Rouges Queues as well as this spectacular Sempre Cutentu, Sciacarellu from Domaine Giacometti in Corsica. ⁣
⁣
🥇Sous Roche⁣
🥈Eau forte⁣
🥉Les Molates⁣
⁣
But truly, everything was beautiful. Beautiful menu of artisan wines, organic and natural but most importantly super well done and good (hell no, doesn’t always go together...) ⁣
⁣
Thanks Céline et Benoît, super cuisine, super vins, super compagnie, top!⁣

Battista Belvisi about his farming.
He will be at RAW Wine NYC next week, and we got a bunch of events scheduled with him (link in bio). We love his “do nothing” farming approach!
⁣
“I try to interfere with nature as little as possible. Nature is perfect, it doesn’t need us. My intervention is minimal. I let nature do what it has always done. I call my way of farming spontaneous agriculture. What that soil wants to give me on a given year, I welcome it and transform it into wine without trying to force it to be what it isn’t.”⁣
⁣
