Over time, the list of highly regarded Italian producers working with Stile grew, to the ex-­ tent that Stile Wines became synonymous with Italian wine. To this day, we are proud to say that we offer one of the very finest portfolios of Italian wine in Canada.

Along the way, we have strived to add products from reputable producers from all over the world, always keeping in mind our goal of offering the absolute best possible quality and value. While we will undoubtedly always be viewed as an Italian specialist, we can now lay claim to being a truly diversified, international importer.

My father passed away in 2005, but his spirit remains very much alive in all that we do.

We are happy to know that the fine products that we bring to this special part of the world have brought joy and a real appreciation for the finer things in life to so many.

With this in mind, we invite you to peruse the latest catalogue of fine offerings from our agency.

Useful Ordering Information Please bear in mind the following information when it comes to ordering product through the BCLDB: Order product using the CSPC sku number, and specify your order in terms of the number of bottles (rather than cases) of a particular product, being specific that the units are bottles, so that there is no confusion about quantity. Order at the local government liquor store (GLS) that you have been set up to order through, or through Store 100, which is the Wholesale Customer Service Centre. This can be reached as follows: Telephone: Fax:

(604) 775-­0681 (604) 252-­3470

If the GLS sales associate indicates that there is zero stock, or no stock available, then ask them to click on their next screen page for the Container World warehouse inventory. Please note that ALL spec/restricted listings will show on the first screen as out of stock, or no stock available at the BCLDB warehouse, because it is a listing that is not usually warehoused by the BCLDB. It is only ordered as per client request. If the BCLDB sales associate informs you that there still is no stock, please contact your Stile sales representative to investigate further.

The BCLDB will give you an order/invoice number with every order. Please keep this handy in case there are any difficulties with the order, as it will help us to assist. Products that are general or specialty listed should be available within two business days (or possibly immedi-­ ately, if ordering through a GLS location that stocks it regularly). Products that are spec/ restricted listed should be available within 7i10 business days. If these products have not arrived over this time, please contact your Stile representative to investigate further.

It is important to keep your Stile representative abreast of any difficulties that arise with or-­ dering, as we are happy to assist and manage these through. It may alert us to a problem in the order process that we would otherwise not be aware of. Your diligence is very much ap-­ preciated.

PATAGONIA, ARGENTINA

HUMBERTO CANALE At 39.2 degrees South, in Argentine Patagonia, wines coming from one of the world's most southern regions are made. This is the High Valley of the Río Negro, whose special climate, with very cold nights and intensely sunny days, is ideal for the development of fine grape varieties. The province of Río Negro is located in the northern part of Patagonia. The Negro River, with origins in the Andes Mountains, flows across Patagonia and into the Atlantic Ocean. Along its course, it gives birth to fertile valleys that are a real oasis in the middle of these wasted lands. In 1909, the Humberto Canale Winery was founded by the engineer who gave it his name.

CLARE VALLEY, AUSTRALIA

PIKES Englishman Henry Pike immigrated to South Australia in 1878, settling in the Ade-­ laide Hills. In 1886, he established the family brewing business called H. Pike & Co. This name became well known throughout South Australia for its quality beer, soft drink and tonic ale.

The winery is situated in the historic, picturesque Polish Hill River sub-­region on the eastern side of the valley. The climate in this area is cooler and the soils are quite unique to the rest of the region, attributes that im-­ part distinctive flavours and aromas to the wines.

Though they produce a number of varietals, Riesling has become the flagship for which Pikes is best known. The winery has consistently met its goals of producing absolute top quality varietal winesiworthy of the longstanding distinctive fish logo that is still found on all Pikes wines.

LIMARI VALLEY, CHILE

CASA TAMAYA In the vineyards of Viña Casa Tamaya, located in the Limari Valley (400 km north of Santiago and only 20 km from the Pacific Ocean) were found vestiges of the ancient Diaguita culture, which reigned in this zone between the 8th and 15th centu-­ ries. Inspired by its culture, the winery was named after the highest peak above the Limarí Valley: Tamaya.

Blessed with an exceptional climate in a land of virgin soils free from contamination, Tamaya is strategically located in the foothills of the majestic Andes Mountains.

There, the winery has succeeded in achieving a perfect equilibrium between the com-­ bination of its varietal grapes and the character of its land. It is this balance of privi-­ leged characteristics which bestows unparalleled quality upon each of the varieties of the grapes, which are then carefully harvested by hand.

This is the secret of how Tamaya brings to life the very finest, most innovative wines produced in the North of Chile.

LANGUEDOC-­ROUSSILLON, FRANCE

CHATEAU DE CARAGUILHES

(100% CERTIFIED ORGANIC)

Historically, the Corbières region has been connected with vinegrowers and the making of wine. By the 12th century, the Abbey of Fontfroide was taken over by the monks of the Cistercian Order, highly skilled vinegrowers who undertook to restore the art of the vine in the Corbieres, once started by the Phoenicians and furthered by the Romans.

So began the history of the domaine known as Caraguilhes. The famous chateau that one sees today was constructed in the early 17th century. The vines still grow in an ideal location known for its exceptional soil quality, with a mixture of clay and limestone.

Inspired by the same precision and philosophy, the same love of the soil and of authenticity, current owner Laurent Max continues this practice. Since 1990, the organic status of the wines of Caraguilhes are formally guaranteed by ECOCERT. White Wine

Their residence in the terri-­ tory is proven by a marriage contract dated 9th March 1738. This contract describes the properties brought as dowry by Angela Thaul-­ ero, Don Gianfranco Thaulero's daughter.

Towards the end of the 19th century, the Duke Giovanni Thaulero re-­ claimed his lands, planted modern vineyards, and created a huge win-­ ery, in a design considered to be modern for those times.

In 1961, local winegrowers created a joint venture to bottle their wines and produce a high quality wine. This association was the first in Abruzzo to produce DOC wine, and was called Casal Thaulero, in hon-­ our of the Thauleros, who were forerunners in the modern winemaking process.

He refined his knowl-­ edge of winemaking in the wine growers' cooperatives of Sava, made famous by its oenologists Don Amerigo Mancini and Guido Calò.

The crusade began in the mid-足LN 5 with the idea of rewriting the history of winemaking in the Irpinia region. The central concept was to invest in a real future for the great wines of the South by upholding local traditions and developing their latent potential. In other words, to take a fresh look at Campania and her native grape varietiesiAglianico, Fiano, Greco and Falanghina. Over the last ten years, Feudi di San Gregorio has come to represent the growing reputation of the wines of Irpinia.

Ancient ties have been reinforced by a new interpretation of the potential of the south of Italy. The will and resources of two local families, united by a single passion, has breathed new life into this ancient land. These are modern wines with an ancient soul. They are authentic, while their traditional values are maintained through the use of modern technology, and impeccable quality standards.

DI LENARDO The estate of Massimo di Lenardo, located in the famous DOC areas of Friuli DOC Grave and Friuli DOC Aquileia, dates back to the early 1800s.

However, it was only from the 1987 vintage that quality took a real leap forward, with the introduction of new techniques including the hand picking of grapes and the use of refined methods of vinification based on physical principles and electronically controlled temperature during fermentation.

With his pool of respected wine consultants, Massimo di Lenardo person-­ ally oversees production, ensuring consistency for all wines, bringing rec-­ ognition for di Lenardo Vineyards as one of the very best brands in the Friuli-­Grave area.

In 1996 a comprehensive program was launched to ensure but-­ toned-­down quality production at all levels, including loyalty agreements with local growers for careful grapes supervision, and upgrading of production equipment for soft pressing and temperature controlled vinification. Forward thinking has kept Collavini at the forefront of producers in the prestigious Friuli region.

MASCARELLO The members of the Giuseppe Mascarello family have been growing wines for more than 150 years in the prime Barolo region of Castiglione Falletto, including the prestigious Monprivato area. They have built on years of family experience to the present day Mauro Mascarello, who began in 1970 to vinify the grapes grown on each single vineyard separately, starting with the Monprivato Nebbiolo. In 1985, the efforts paid off with international recognition of the highest order. The 1978 vintage Barolo emerged as the best wine in the Forum Vinorum in London, with the only perfect score, and a ranking higher than 27 other Italian DOC and DOCG reds, and also 56 Châteaux, Grand Cru and Premier Cru producers, includ-­ ing such names as Petrus, Margaux, Latour, Lafite, Mouton Rothschild and Haut-­ Brion. To this day, the spectacular Barolos of Mascarello are highly decorated and well sought after by top buyers around the world.

Starting with the 1994 vintage, scrupulously selected, ripe grapes from low-­ yielding, hillside vineyards have been vinified by a team of local and antipodean winemakers. The only aim was quality, using indigenous Sicilian and interna-­ tional grape varieties.

TENUTA SAN LEONARDO The history of Tenuta San Leonardo dates back at least 1500 years, with the return of prisoners from Trentino, who erected a chapel in honor of the patron saint of prisoners, Saint Leonard.

The estate has witnessed many historical events, including acting as headquarters in both world wars. Present owners the Guerrieri Gonzaga family have taken advan-足 tage of the specific terroir to create Bordeaux-足inspired blended wines, under the guidance of master winemaker Carlo Ferrini and consultant winemaker Giacomo Tachis, who is considered to be a genuine maestro of Italian winemaking through *+5 %4'#6+10 1( 51/' 1( 75%#0; 5 /156 +0(.7'06+#. 9+0'5 (41/ 6*' EMKN5 109#4&5T This talented pair ensures calculated ageingiat least 6 months in large format Sla-足 vonian oak, then 24 months in small French oak barrelsiand masterful blending of each contributing varietal.

He gathered a highly competent team, with consultation from acclaimed oenologists Carolo Ferrini and Gioia Cresti, and set about creating a wine unique to the terroir, deciding to bring from his native Marches the cuttings of Montepulciano to complement the traditional Tuscan San-­ giovese and the Alicante and Petit Verdot.

By slightly veering off the path of traditional Tuscan offerings, Pianirossi has estab-­ lished itself as a rising star of a new generation of Maremma estates.

MONTEVERTINE Montevertine lies within the heart of the Chianti hills, in the community of Radda.

Documents show that the site had been dwelled on since the 11th century.

Traces of the original construction are still preserved.

In 1967, Sergio Manetti, a steel product manufacturer, bought Montevertine as a holiday house, restoring it to its original dwelling destination. He then planted 2 hectares of vines and set up a small cellar to produce wine for friends.

The first vintage produced in 1971 was more than decent, so Sergio presented it at Vinitaly. It was an immediate success and he was so enthused that only a few years later he gave up his main former activity to dedicate his efforts to winemaking. New vineyards were planted, new cellars installed, and expansion has continued to this very day.

Umbria, the hilliest region in Italy, is an extremely green and pristine area, where nature and history blend together. Winemaking traditions in this region reach back to the Etruscans and Romans, but as in Burgundy, grape growing and wine-足 making were developed and enriched by the monks during Medieval times.

MIONETTO Few lands identify themselves like Valdobbiadene so totally and directly with a completely special "drinking philosophy". Try, for example, tasting a glass of Prosecco -­ the most renowned "offspring" of these hills. You will feel that you have been projected into a world which you believed lost forever, where life still pro-­ ceeds at a liveable pace and where values remain unchanged: equilibrium and lightness, elegance and genuineness, delight in getting together and enjoying life.

From Prosecco to Cartizze and many other straightforward, generous wines -­ the fascinating history of the vines and wines of Valdobbiadene has trodden a long path, but it has always been true to itself. You only need to travel along the Prosecco Road -­ the first enological route to have been created in Italy -­ to be aware of it all. In these places, the savours, nature, everything is still authentic and incomparable. It is in this land and with this singular tradition that an equally unique entrepreneurial story has become associated -­ that of the Mionetto family.

BRUNELLI Ever since it has existed, the name Brunelli has has been closely linked to the area of San Pietro in Cariano, a small valley in the Valpolicella Classico area whose name derives from that of the Roman Cariae family. It is in this spot in the countryside where the Brunelli family has handed down from generation to generation the an-­ cient passion which has made its wines known and appreciated all over the world.

TEDESCHI Numerous generations of the Tedeschi family have dedicated love and devotion to viticulture in the Valpolicella, giving them an enviable wealth of experience, tradition, and nobility, all of which are used to achieve the highest level of quality.

According to old documents which have recently come to light, the first purchase of vineyards was drawn up in 1630. The descendents followed suit, bringing pres-­ tige, respect and esteem to the family, to the extent that they were called upon to carry out important political and religious duties.

In 1824, Nicolò Tedeschi purchased more vineyards, and with his skill and genuine personality, brought the family business many steps forward, to the extent that all successors would dedicate their lives to upholding the good name of the family and its wines. The most recent generationiAntonietta, Sabrina and Riccardoiwork together to maintain the spirit of the Tedeschi family as upholders of the finest wines that The Veneto region can produce, and as purveyors of these wines to an attentive audience of buyers and consumers around the world.

MARLBOROUGH, NEW ZEALAND

MOUNT FISHTAIL Mount Fishtail vineyard is fully owned by the Hengstler familyiKonrad, Sigrun and their two sons, Conrad and Carlo.

The Hengstlers originally emigrated from Germany to Melbourne in Australia, where they settled for over twenty years. While travelling through New Zealand, Konrad discovered Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, and was immediately attracted to this outstanding wine. From that point, the decision to move to Marlborough and become involved in the wine industry was an easy one.

The family planted their first vines in 1996, producing a range of wines from their two vineyards in the Wairua and Waihopai Valleys, totaling 40 hectares. Each year after fermentation, wines from the two distinct sites are used for the Mount Fishtail label, ensuring the same high quality and consistent flavours every year.

WESTERN CAPE, SOUTH AFRICA

GOLDEN KAAN Golden Kaan wines originate from selected vineyards at the southernmost tip of Africa h the fertile, lush Western Cape centered on Cape Town. Here, the Golden Kaan varietals flourish in the rich soils of the Table Mountain sandstone along with the Malmesbury shale, and profit from the ideal terrain of the Western Cape, which resembles a Mediterranean climate with warm, dry summers and good winter rainfall, ensuring the minimum amount of irrigation. These weather and terroir conditions ensure sun-­ripened varietal grapes of the highest quality, which are then used to produce the full-­bodied and unique wines of Golden Kaan.

Golden Kaan remains committed to environmentally friendly vineyard practices and wine sourcing. All the wines and grapes sourced for Golden Kaan derive from vineyards that are fully IPW (Integrated Production of Wine) certified.

U.S.A. PASO ROBLES, CALIFORNIA

NICHOLS Nichols is a small family winery located in Paso Robles, California. It was established in 1991to produce ultra premium wine, with limited production of each varietal around the 1200 case level. This allows owner and wine-­ maker Keith Nichols to place great care and attention to the tending of the vines, maintaining lower yields and high quality, and to the maximum extrac-­ tion of varietal character and flavour in the wines. He believes in ageing his wines over extended time periods to ensure that they have had time to mel-­ low tannins and develop complexity, for wines that show off magnificent, fully developed, multiple layered flavour. Limited cases available.

In 1935, with Prohibition repealed, Gasparé made the decision to turn a por-­ tion of his grapes into wine, using techniques his father had taught him. In the old hay barn by the vineyard, Gasparé, his brother-­in-­law, and their twin wives took turns with a hand driven press to produce their first vintage con-­ sisting of 3,451 gallons (just under 1,500 cases) of wine.

BOOKWALTER The Bookwalter family roots are deep in agriculture and the Washington wine and viticulture industry. With several of the top vineyard sources in the state and a com-­ mitment to excellence in winemaking, Bookwalter Winery continues to fulfill the growing demand for ultra premium wines from Washington State.

In 1997, John Bookwalter joined the family winery, established by parents Jerrold and Jean, as the 10th generation of Bookwalters to be involved in agriculture, focus-­ ing on producing ultra premium red wines. To do so, he joined with world-­class wine-­ maker/vineyard consultant Zelma Long, who had just retired from her illustrious 30 year wine industry career. Success was immediate, as both the 2000 vintage Mer-­ lot and Cabernet Sauvignon wines were released to rave reviews. The next two vin-­ tages brought two top 100 wines of the year rankings, several 90 point-­plus Parker ratings and another Wine Spectator "Wine of the Week" acknowledgement.

SPIRITS THE VENETO, ITALY

DISTILLERIA BOTTEGA Distilleria Bottega was set up in 1977 by Aldo Bottega, a master distiller with over 30 years of experience. The distillery began modestly, operating in the local grappa market. In 1983, with the death of its founder, son Sandro took on the manage-­ ment of the company with the assistance of siblings Barbara and Stefano. In a few years, Distilleria Bottega left its anonymity, thanks to an innovative distillation sys-­ tem that makes grappa mellower and more delicate. In 1987, the Alexander brand joined Bottega; this new brand is intended for those consumers who have devel-­ oped a much more educated and refined palate.

All Alexander Grappa has its origin from very fresh and vinous marcs that are distilled in copper stills following the steam distillation in order to guarantee the highest quality. The Venetian blown glass bottles, designed by Sandro Bottega, are the ideal container to view the clarity and transparency of the Alexander Grappa. *'; 9'4' #.51 6*' 1$,'%6 1( # 24'56+)+175 +06'40#6+10#.

LUIGI FRANCOLI The Francoli family traces its Italian heritage back to Campodolcino, a small alpine village close to the Swiss border. Begun by Luigi Guglielmo in 1875, the Francoli family has dis-­ tilled grappa for five generations, though the family tradition dates back even further.

The village of Campodolcino once had more than 80 grappa distilling families, despite the fact that this rugged mountain terrain is devoid of vinaccia, the raw material used for the production of grappa. The vinaccia had to be brought to Campodolcino from surrounding areas. From those 80 families, today there are only three still actively distilling grappa.

In 1951, at the age of only 21, Luigi founded his own distillery. His 4 younger brothers (Franco, Augusto, Giuseppe and Giovanni) joined Luigi supporting his dream of founding a prosperous Grappa Distillery. Thus the Fratelli Francoli distillery was born.

For the Francoli family, grappa distillation is not only an art but also a science. Over time Luigi modified the 'Berti' distillation equipment to obtain a grappa which was more suit-­ able to the family's palate. Luigi's son, Alessandro, now the president of Distillerie Fran-­ coli, acquired the same passion for grappa distillation, and at university his thesis fo-­ cused on the techniques of ageing grappa. As a result, through the combination of Luigi's 'art' and Alessandro's 'science', Luigi Francoli Grappa is renowned for being one of the smoothest grappas produced in Italy. Since 1951, Distillerie Francoli has expanded into one of the most ill ustrious Grappa distilleries in Italy.

SPIRITS ITALY

VECCHIA ROMAGNA/MONTENEGRO Vecchia Romagna comes from a great company tradition that dates back to 1820, when the refined French distiller Jean Bouton, the founder of the first steam distillery, arrived in Italy.

Distilled from prized Trebbiano grapes, Vecchia Romagna Black Label is an unmistak-­ able brandy. An exceptional recipe, advanced distillation techniques, and aging for a minimum of three years in small oak casks give it a warm intense colour, an aromatic, harmonious, complex fragrance, and a smooth dry taste. For these reasons, it has become the default Italian brandy in the marketplace.

Amaro Montenegro is a traditional amaro distilled using 40 herbs obtained from around the world, including vanilla and orange peels. It uses a unique soaking and dis-­ tillation process, resulting in a liquor that is sweet in taste, with a slightly bitter finish.

It was first produced by famous Italian spirits manufacturer Stanislao Cobianchi in the late 19th century and is named after the second queen of Italy, Princess Elena of Mon-­ tenegro. It is extremely popular as an after-­%1(('' &4+0- jZ#//#<<#%#((' +0 6#.+#0kT Brandy

SPIRITS ANTIGUA

ANTIGUA DISTILLERY The Antigua Distillery has long been the premium distiller of fine rums in The Leeward islands. They are committed to maintaining the high stan-­ dards of production and packaging that have been developed over recent decades. The company produces high quality rums with the finest all-­ natural ingredients, using a skillful combination of traditional methods and modern technology. They continue the tradition of using copper pipes for their five column continuous copper still that can produce 1.5 million litres a year. Ageing is done in 220 litre American oak casks that were previ-­ ously used for ageing bourbon, covering a time frame of a minimum 2-­3 years, with no top-­ups to replace evaporation, allowing the "angels" to take their share.

English Harbour Five Year Old Antigua Rum is smooth, lush, and not overly stickly sweet, with a lovely vanilla profile, making it versatile for cocktails or as a fine sipping rum all on its own. It is a premium rum that offers tre-­ mendous value.

JAMAICA

ROYAL JAMAICAN Royal Jamaican is responsible for the production of Jamaican Gold at its small, exclusive private estate. Though a relative newcomer to the mar-­ ket, it has already created quite a stir for the quality of its rum and its unique, attractive packaging.

Jamaican Gold is a premium amber rum distilled from 100% Jamaican molasses. Great care and attention is made to ensure the highest quality possible throughout all stages in the production process. The product is hand-­filled and bottled in small batches.

The rum itself shows off a wonderfully smooth, round, rich, textured taste, with hints of chocolate, vanilla and other pleasant spices. It is a rum that is truly worthy of the fine reputation that Jamaica has carved out for itself in the production of world class rum, one that dates all the way back to the 16th century.

BEER TURKEY

EFES The Efes brand, synonymous with Turkey since 1969, has enjoyed a unique history.

Beer production in Turkey did not begin until 1890, when a brewery was founded in Istanbul by two Swiss entrepreneurs. This brewery was later nationalized, and for a time, Tekel, a state enterprise, was the only beer producer in Turkey. In 1969, a change in the regulations opened the market to private enterprise, allowing the Efes company to establish its first two breweries in the cities of Istanbul and Izmir.

Today, Efes controls approximately 85% of the domestic beer market in Turkey.

With the exception of Tuborg, which started producing beer in Turkey the same year that Efes began, other foreign brandsiso successful elsewhereihave made little progress in Turkey. It is a testament to the reverence that the local population has for its home brand.

Efes has rode its domestic popularity to the international market with great suc-­ cess, particularly in Eastern Europe. With its iconic bottle packaging and fresh, crisp, clean taste, it has found its following with beer lovers all over the world.
