WHAT WE LIKE MICHAEL HEINTZ We at Enotec have been helping America live deliciously since 1985.

We specialize in finding family-owned and estate-driven wineries from across the Italian peninsula and bringing them to the US.

We help build brands by focusing on the things that matter.

We build effective pricing and programming in conjunction with our producers.

We are not afraid of doing the hard work required to get a product into the right place and help it succeed.

We back that up with an ever-growing marketing effort, centered around digital but extending into the store.

We build creative programs that resonate with today's wine consumers.

| PAGE 05

Our focus has always been wines of character and distinction, which for us means delicious wines possessing classic balance and structure, usually made by families tending their vineyards for generations, and who

are focused on local indigenous varieties.

They typically use traditional winemaking techniques although they aren't afraid to try modern processes if that will help make a more delicious wine.

CA DEL SARTO

Ca del Sarto wines are all hand-crafted, small-batch wines carefully chosen from four of the best regions in Italy: Friuli, Toscana, Piemonte and Sicilia. These wines are a product of a unique collaboration between local rock star vintners and Enotec Imports since 1998. We saw an opportunity for a multi-regional wine that could overdeliver in their quality and profit-making ability.

They are perfect wines for restaurant BTG programs and retails shops. The wines are made with grapes indigenous to their zone that have been grown sustainably(and in some cases organically) and reflect the sensibilities of their producers and their regions. They come into the US at an accessible price point because we are the négociant and there is no middleman. Because of this unique position, we can up-appellate the wines, so you are getting a quality Friuli Pinot Grigio at the price of the more generic Delle Venezie products.

Ca del Sarto wines are poured BTG in top restaurants and also found in top wine stores around the country. They make an excellent premium wine for anyone who wants high-quality, high-value wines for their program.

CANTINA CALDARO

What is it that makes up the character of a wine? To understand the answer to this, first, it is necessary to ask: what is it that makes up the character of a land? With regard to winegrowing, we call that terroir, that is, a complex interweaving of geographic, geological, climatic, and even cultural and social factors. Every little variation counts. Climate, location, soils, and people form an unmistakable totality. And in Alto Adige, the terroir forms the basis for the potential of the great wines that are grown here: unique wines at the point of intersection of Alpine and Mediterranean vegetation and culture.

This is the land where Italy meets Austria. Cantina di Caldaro is a famous and historic producer of classiclystyled yet accessibly-priced wines made from grapes grown in the vineyards surrounding Lake Caldaro, which is just outside of Bolzano.

The wines owe their bright and pure aromas, near-perfect balance on the palate, and fresh acidity to their mountainside origins.

ALDO DEGANI

When we think of history and tradition we cannot do other than imagining distant and forgotten times. The past is a warm and colorful place compared to the mechanical coldness of the present…although not all the time. In certain things the tradition survives, carried on by the same loving hands of the past. Hands that caress the grapes as they have caressed the hair of their grandchildren, who, then, return them to the grapes. This is what lies behind the historical name of wine production: the Azienda Agricola Fratelli Degani, whose name suggests how their activity is lived.

A family management, in the truest sense of the word, where all the activities, from the first manual harvesting of the grapes, their drying for the glory of Amarone and Recioto, the vinification and, finally, bottling, are followed by family members and implemented according to traditional methods. This because Degani family knows the importance of a wine tradition that dates back to early 1900, born to quench the thirst after a long day of work and only after it has been proposed to us, acquired relatives, that we become part of this intimate production from the 1970s. A combined effort to bring a part of their story to our table. And their work was rewarded: in 1996 the wines made their way in prestigious guides such as “Il Gambero Rosso” and not just that: Veronelli, AIS, Luca Maroni and then across the Alps with the Swiss “Merum” and the German “Der Feinschmecher” as well as in newspapers such as La Repubblica and Il Corriere della Sera. It’ s incredible how a wine destined for the oldest members of the family has come so far.

GIANNI GAGLIARDO

The origins of Gianni Gagliardo date back to 1847, when the Colla family first began working vineyards in the Langhe zone of Piedmont. It was Paolo Colla, the fourth generation of the family who, in the 1960s, began bottling his own wine in the township of La Morra. In 1973 his daughter, Marivanna, married Gianni Gagliardo, a young man from Monticello d’Alba in the Roero zone on the west bank of the Tanaro river. Gianni was a passionate young man with a notable entrepreneurial talent. It was in 1973 that the winery, as it exists today, was established.

Today, the sixth generation of the family; Gianni’s sons, Stefano, Alberto, and Paolo, are the guardians of the estate. Stefano, the first-born, a careful and competent oenologist, has taken charge of the style of the wines, which are characterized by a tireless search for elegance, balance, and harmony. At his side, his brother Alberto, who has taken on the responsibility for the vineyards, continues to seek optimal balance in the vines and a perfect ripening of the grapes. Paolo, the youngest, after a doctoral thesis in Agricultural Sciences, dedicates his energies to the commercial growth and development of Gianni Gagliardo.

With amazing holdings in top Cru vineyards across the Barolo zone, Poderi Gianni Gagliardo is recognized as a leader in the area, always striving to respect tradition while utilizing the very best equipment and sustainable practices to make the ultimate Barolo and Roero expressions.

TENUTA GARETTO TENUTA GARETTO originated in the early 1900s, at a very important moment for Piedmont wine. In fact, the region was slowly rising from phylloxera, which had eradicated much of the vineyards. For some years now, Barbera had shown its particular resistance to this disease. It was also vigorous, with constant production, and gave strong and colorful wines. For these reasons it was the favorite variety for the reconstruction of the vineyards, especially in the Asti area, where since time immemorial had shown a great affinity with these lands. The Agliano village was in fact part of an area called the "golden triangle", a territory in which Barbera expressed levels of excellence.

The Garetto family began to bottle the estate's wines already in the early 1950s, dedicated to a qualified market, when instead most of the wines of the time were still sold in bulk for family consumption or for local Osterie.

TENUTA GARETTO winery is the newest addition to the Gagliardo family, acquired in July of 2017. The winery is located in Agliano Terme, a very well-known and recognized spot for Barbera. The winery is in the heart of the new Nizza DOCG appellation of Monferrato, a sweet, sunny and energetic land. The municipality of Agliano Terme in particular has often been described as “the village of Barbera”, characterized by sandy marls that give strong and attractive wines with unusual longevity. The estate can count on old vines planted between 1935 and 1950, as well as more recent vineyards. Since the acquisition, the old clones have been preserved by an accurate massal selection activity. A strict single parcel classification was started. Organic farming has been introduced, and big casks from Barolo had been transferred in the cellar for a most delicate aging process.

GRIMALDI LUIGINO

For four generations, the Grimaldi family have been tending the best vineyards in the Langhe and Roero, bottling the most prestigious appellations of the area: Barolo, Barbaresco, Nebbiolo d’Alba, Dolcetto di Diano d’Alba and Dolcetto d’Alba, Barbera d’Alba, Roero Arneis, Gavi, Moscato d’Asti and Langhe Chardonnay. Over more than a century of working in the vineyards, in close contact with the soil and the vines, the Grimaldis have learned to recognise the most suitable areas for each type of vine, knowledge that they have used by planting the best varieties for the soil, altitude, micro-climate and orientation.

Today Grimaldi produces a wide range of typical wines, a direct expression of the extraordinary variety of grapes and the unique terroir, recognised by UNESCO as a World Heritage site. The history of the Grimaldis goes back to its country roots in the Langhe, in Valle Talloria, at the beginning of the 19th century, when fields of wheat grew between the rows of vines and every farmhouse had, next to the winery, a barn in which were bred the prestigious Fassona Piemontese cattle. Grandfather Giuseppe cultivated excellent dolcetto grapes, the main variety of the Diano d’Alba area. After harvesting them he would load them on to a cart and take them to Aldolcetto market, where they would be purchased by the winemakers.

KELLEREI KALTERN

Cantina Kaltern has a long history. It took more than a century for our winery to become what it is and what it stands for today: professionalism, passion, a shared community, experience and the highest quality standards.

Today, Cantina Kaltern is one of the principal wineries of Alto Adige, and Kaltern itself is proud of its reputation as the most popular and best-known wine village in the region. But Kaltern is not only a special corner of the world for wine lovers and connoisseurs from near and far; village life revolves around wine. Wine sets the stage here; it is a source of employment and also of pride for the villagers and wine growers.

The history of Cantina Kaltern goes back to the beginning of the 20th century, a century that witnessed long, debilitating years of war and the separation of Alto Adige from Austria – but also the eventful history of Kaltern’s five wineries, including glorious days as official suppliers to the court in Vienna, economic crises and boom years, and also mergers and a consistent orientation on quality in wine-growing. The result today is a winery cooperative with 650 members and 450 hectares of vineyards.

MARCHESINI MARCELLO

Our dear Grandfather “nonno Plinio,” was the one who started this truly amazing experience for our family. After the war, he saved all he could to buy a tractor so that he could continue his family’s tradition of working on the land of Count Cavazzocca of Lazise. Just as his family had done for 200 years before him, he put all his time and energy into doing his best. He worked so hard that in little time he managed to purchase not only the Count’s house but also his first vineyard, the one our family still owns and known as “i santi”, where we still cultivate the grapes today for the production of our Bardolino. Grandson Marcello however, continued the family business with extreme importance on quality and so changed the vision of the business. This is how the new wines were introduced, they were all exclusively bottled wines such as Bardolino Chiaretto DOC and San Fermo, a red wine produced in a limited amount with the Corvina and Merlot grapes.

The Marchesini family evolved again in the new millennium with another change in generation and also in the way of running the business. Marcello passed the conduction of the family business onto his daughters Erika and Giorgia giving a feminine touch to the company. Giorgia is an enologist, following through the process of vinification together with her father Marcello, working in the wine cellar and in the vines. Erika takes care of the administrative and commercial part and also the wine tasting and sales point. Both sisters agree on following in their father's footsteps, respecting his way of thinking by producing excellent quality wines but are at the same time giving great importance to producing sustainable wines. The Marchesini Family have taken the very important decision in completely eliminating chemical weed killers, pesticides and to reduce to the minimum possible the use of phytomedicine, as to the indications given by “Lotta Integrata Regione Veneto” in order to protect and preserve the territory and the biodiversity present in the land.

GRAZIANO MEROTTO

NEW!!

The Merotto family’s agricultural beginnings can be traced back to Agostino Merotto, an ancestor who was already wellknown in the area at the beginning of the 1900s for the quality of his Prosecco. After the period of the two great wars, a time during which there were few notable landmarks in wine production, came a renaissance in agriculture and traditional farming focused on dedicating land to the kind of cultivation it was best suited to. Graziano Merotto started his company in 1972 and showed an immediate gift for wine production. He also had a clear vision regarding the world of sparkling wines.

With great sacrifice, hard work, and much trial and error, he was able to achieve renowned levels of excellence, leaving a legacy that was destined to become part of the history of the local area.

The Merotto Winery is located in the heart of the Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG production zone, known for its famous quality proseccos. In these Alpine foothills, the vineyards of Giovanni Merotto are located in a ring of hills surrounding Col San Martino, an ancient Lombard city north of Treviso. Merotto owns 12 hectares of vineyards in this area, and rents another six, for a total annual production of about 2.3 tons of grapes. In addition, he purchases additional grapes from another 25 local growers, who are constantly subjected to inspections to ensure their grapes achieve the quality levels Merotto requires.

NAONIS The Best Cellar in the heart of Friuli

NAONIS, pronounced “Now-Niece,” is the ancient Roman name for our home city, Pordenone, and speaks of our land’s historic winemaking expertise for the production of excellent white and sparkling wines.Established in 1931 as Cantina Sociale Cooperativa Destra Tagliamento, the Viticoltori Friulani La Delizia is family-owned, and also the largest wine-making facility of the Friuli Region.

The company has more than 500 family growers with 2000 hectares of vineyards that extend throughout the Friuli plain, within the renowned "Friuli Grave" and "Prosecco" D.O.C. These are areas historically dedicated to viticulture and to the production of wines with a strong identity and character, exported successfully in the major foreign countries.

La Delizia is a leading researcher of viticultural and oenological practices.La Delizia uses an advanced guyot vine training system with a low yield per hectare, careful selection of the best fruit and then a natural fermentation in thermoconditioned steel tanks. The last step is a long and quiet ageing on the yeasts for 6 months: these are the essential steps so that the wines can ripen and express the identity and the elegance of their origin area.

PALLADINO

Hailing from Guarene, Piero Palladino spent his youth in Alba, where he studied winemaking at the Istituto Enologico. He was employed as winemaker for a wine vendor in Biella, having moved there after the war. However, Piero did not cut ties with Alba and the Langhe. In the years following, his characterisingresourcefulness led him to set up businesses in various sectors, before definitively arriving in the textile industry. However, wine remained his passion, one that he emphatically asserted at the first opportunity. In 1974, Piero bought the current Azienda Vinicola Palladino and entrusted its management to his cousin Maurilio, his subsequent business partner. Maurilio Palladino, together with his wife Domenica, managed the company for years, drawing inspiration from the principle of fidelity to tradition and the characteristics of the territory.

Today his experience is combined with the enthusiasm of the new generation, who help to manage the cellar and to continuously research new markets. They include Maurilio's granddaughter Veronica and her husband Alessandro and Margherita, Piero's granddaughter and daughter to Mauro Palladino, Maurilio's partner and cousin. Not to forget Luca and Matteo who provide invaluable help in the vineyard and in the wine cellar. Our Philosophy-A wine cellar is its territory: a simple philosophy, focused on the link with tradition, on respect for the terroir and the passion with which we try to communicate these values throughout the world. TRADITION lets us relive history through the memory of the past and respect for the vines, tended according to ancient customs of manual processes, thus bringing a healthy product into the wine cellar, which is followed step by step, until its evolution into wine. The TERRITORY finds expression in the purity of production of the historical Piedmontese denominations and in the ability each wine possesses, capable of summarising, with its own aroma and flavour, the specifics of the grapes' terroir of origin. PASSION links all of the elements and is the underlying premise and the indispensable ingredient of each phase, from the careful tending of the vineyard to the processes of winemaking in the cellar and finally the promotional efforts in Italy and abroad.

RONCHI DI PIETRO

It all started from my parents' stone house, built from brick to brick, a bit like our company with its plots. In the same way, we have also expanded the structure that houses Monviert, cutting out the space it deserves. Today the venue is a joy for the eyes, capable of transmitting in a crystalline way all the emotions that we want to express daily through our wines, because over time the spirit has remained unchanged, only the passion has grown, and continues to grow.

Born as Ronchi San Giuseppe, this passion had to be handed down and exported. So the whole family was infected, from me, to my children, up to my grandchildren, far exceeding my childhood dreams. The name Monviert originates from the church, which has watched over our 87 hectares for centuries. In Friulian, the language that speaks our land, means "open mountain": because the "mountain" that hosts it gives an "open" view. From its top it manages to show all the love that my family has sown, and continues to sow, in this land for three generations.

It was 1974 and I had just started in wine. Our first Moscato vineyard was close to home and we could see from the window. From that vineyard my passion for this unique and inimitable wine was born. ~Gianni Gagliardo

SORI-The Sori are a cultural heritage even before wine.

These are particularly steep vineyards, well-exposed to the sun, and so difficult to practice that terraces are often necessary. They have a slope between 45 and 50% which does not allow access to any machinery.

CA DI PESA

Ca' di Pesa's fate is very well documented from the XV century onwards, showing its ownership by the hospital of Santa Maria Nuova in Florence, with records of lease agreements pointing to the farm's rental by Antonmaria Gherardini - whose daughter Lisa was made famous by the painter Leonardo da Vinci!

It was in 1998 that Jonathan and Jessika Auerbach fell in love with the property and realized their dream of buying an old villa in Chianti, and it has been a project that has been the focus of our joint passions throughout these years. Their four daughters grew up at the estate. The Auerbach’s began making wines in 2010, with the help of a great local team Diego Ciurletti and Alessandro Gemini.

The objective was very simple: to produce the best possible Chianti wine that could be made from this vineyard. We would make no compromise, spare no expense in search of making the highest quality wine - one that would reflect the spectacular nature of the terroir of the Conca D'oro.

Today, the Auerbachs enjoy and share Ca' di Pesa as a family and with their friends whenever they can - still completely committed to bringing their wines to a level of quality and renown that pay homage to what they feel is one of the most special places in the world.

The Dei family, owners of the estate, has been winegrower in the area of Montepulciano for several decades, although from a commercial point of view the winemaking activity is recent. The first experimental bottles of Vino Nobile 1985 were released 1988. The success of this vintage was the starting-point for the estate’s expansion and in 1989 a vinification cellar including up-to-date winemaking equipment was completed. The aging premises, were established near the vinification centre, within the Martiena property. Today the estate comprises 60 hectares under vine, divided into five separate holdings in excellent sites: Martiena, Bossona, La Piaggia, Cervognano and La Ciarliana, from which Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and Rosso di Montepulciano are produced.

Since ‘99, from the Sangiovese grapes harvested in the Bossona vineyard, the estate is producing its Vino Nobile Riserva. Keeping very low yields per hectare has always been the main objective of the estate, whose primary goal is the achievement of a Vino Nobile at its almost quality, enhancing the characteristics of its indigenous grape variety.In these days the winery is carrying out the building of a new under-ground cellar that morphologically calls to mind the shape of a shell, to celebrate the fossil composition of Bossona. The new wine cellar exploits sources of renewable energy, primarily geothermal energy, and it is completely created with the travertine of the family.

CANTINA TOLLO

Cantina Tollo was founded in 1960, during an exciting period for winemaking, which brought the Abruzzo region to life, and today it is one of the most important and established businesses in the Italian wine industry. At the time, people were abandoning the Abruzzo countryside and many Italians were leaving the country in search of a better future.

However, in many areas they decided to stay among the vineyards and thus Cantina Tollo was born. During these years, the Cantina played an active role in the sector, helping to bring about a radical change in the local wine-growing landscape andmaking Tollo a real “City of Wine”.Cantina Tollo production exclusively focuses on typical and indigenous grape varieties of region, cultivated in the traditional method on pergolas, with a pursuit of experimentation both in the field and in the cellar.

Cantina Tollo is among the main Italian producers of organic wines. The winery started reconverting its traditional production to organic practices during the early 90’s. Today 240 hectares of its vineyards are certified “Organic”. Oenologist Riccardo Brighigna leads the Cantina Tollo wine production team, made up of oenologists Daniele Ferrante and Enrico Mucci, and agronomist Antonio Sitti.

FANETTI

The Sant'Agnese Estate has now been run by three generations of the Fanetti family, beginning with Adamo, followed by Giuseppe, and now Elisabetta, who picked up her father's secrets over the years, accompanying him through the vineyards as a young girl. The first renaissance of the Vino Nobile took place in the 1920s, thanks to Adamo Fanetti, Adele Andreucci's husband. Adele was the daughter of a Montepulciano landowner, the proprietor of the Sant'Agnese farm. Adamo set out to improve the wine his father-in-law was already producing, and made the decision to bottle this higher quality wine on the estate. Having put his plan into practice, he brought his wine to the first traditional wine fairs that took place in Siena in the 1930s, and from that moment the wine's fame was assured. Awards came thick and fast, including international recognition, such as the gold medals won at the Grands Prix of Paris, Ljubljana and Milan. Today, the continuity of the estate has been entrusted to his daughter, Elisabetta.

CANTINA PARDI

NEW!!

Cantina Fratelli Pardi story begins in 1919 when the three brothers, Alfredo, Francesco and Alberto, establish it. The winery was, back then, located on the ground floor of the San Marco Hospital, as part of San Francesco monastery in Montefalco. The grapes, used in the wines’ production, partly belonged to the family and some were bought from other local landowners. White and red wines were produced and marketed, but it was the Sagrantino, exclusively Passito, to be the foremost. The wines were sold all over Umbria, and eventually out of the region, to eminent costumers such as the Vatican.

In 2002 the founders’ great grand-sons, Francesco, Gianluca Rio, and Alberto Mario, driven by the will of the Pardi family to keep on the tradition, and with the help of their parents Agostino and Alberto, restore the building in Montefalco and revive their greatgrandfathers’ winery.

Today the brothers Alberto Mario and Gianluca Rio, with their enthusiasm and hard work are the new era of the Pardi wine’s legacy.

The fourth generation. Mine is a history tied to the land, having left Castelnuovo Abbot Bramante where my grandfather was a farmer before he opened a workshop in San Angelo, where he repaired tractors in the thirties, and arrived at Poggiolo, where today I produce a few bottles.

The real protagonist of this story is not me, is my father, Roberto, son of Bramante, owner S. Angelo Scalo an agricultural equipment shop known by all, in 1971 he decided to buy a farm, Poggiolo, then uninhabited, without a cellar, without even a row of vines, in practice, no nothing. At the time in Montalcino Brunello producers were just 28, was not the economic and commercial phenomenon that we have come to appreciate over the years.

For me, the spark was kindled in 1984, when I attended for the first time at Vinitaly, and already the following year, 1985, I started to put my giving birth to the first cru of Brunello di Montalcino, the Redwing, who followed the logic of the French Cru: a selection on the market at twice the price of the base, when nobody did. In 1989, with the disappearance of father Roberto, I found myself in the position of having to take over the company, continuing to make wine, so far, exactly as he would have done.

FATTORIA RODANO

Fattoria di Rodáno is located in the heart of the Chianti Classico in the famed region of Castellina in Chianti. The original farm dates to the Middle Ages and sits on the historic “Via Franchigena” used by pilgrims to travel from northern Europe to Rome. It became a wine-producing property in the sixteenth century. The winery has been in the Pozzesi family for three generations, since 1958.

Vittorio Pozzesi, who owned the winery until his passing in 2012, was the President of the Chianti Classico Consortium. His son, Enrico is now the winemaker and managing partner of the winery.

In an area that is dominated by giant wineries, Rodano remains a small, family-run, artisanal estate practicing organic, traditional wine fermentations in cement and aging in large, neutral botte. Fattoria di Rodáno is a top source for classically made, user-friendly and complex Chianti. Located in Castellina in the heart of the Chianti Classico district, the estate dates back as a wine-producing property to the sixteenth century, belonging to the Pozzesi family ever since that time.

TERRA D'ALIGI

Terra d’Aligi is the brand par excellence of a company and a family, that produces wines for many generations. They describe us, the Spinelli family, as authentic people from Abruzzi: feet on the ground and looking to the future.

Probably it is like that. The feet on the ground is the love for the land and the deep knowledge of what it can produce: they are the tradition, the innate capacity to handle the land, feeling the air, to discover new vineyards and to exploit the maximal potential of the territory.

FROM THE ABRUZZO HILLS, TO THE ROOTS OF PASSION. It’s the Italian region in which we live, it’s the land of Aligi, the land of our wines. The shepherd is the main character of “La Figlia di Iorio”, a famous drama of Gabriele D’Annunzio, top poet from Abruzzi. And it’s no accident: the deep roots of this region are bound to the sheep farming, furrowed by the centuries-old ways of transhumance. Between the highest mountain tops of the Appennines – the Gran Sasso and the Maiella – and the Adriatic Sea, the ways of the shepherds draw the hills and slide into the valleys, touching slightly the vineyards. One of the most typical wines of the Abruzzi, the Pecorino, is dedicated to them. In one of these valleys, the Val di Sangro, our grapes grow ripe.

TERRA ROSSA

TERRA ROSSA is the most modern and innovative line of the winery Il Poggiolo, where art meets wine and making wine is an art. Created by Rodolfo Cosimi and fruit of his restless character, it combines these two great passions always respecting tradition.

A former European Motocross champion and rally car racer, Rudy retains his passion for riding and regularly rides around the estate on a custom-built course. Also a painter, Rudy has lovingly crafted his paintings which adorn the labels of Terra Rossa wines. The paintings are of his beautiful and charming partner Cecilia, who has inspired Rudy to achieve new heights in all that he does.

Terra Rossa’s wines can be described as a more contemporary take on Brunello and Rosso di Montalcino that preserve the fresh fruit and acid while allowing for a more generous expression of Sangiovese Grosso.

TENUTE BOSCO

NEW!!

THE ESTATE

Tenute Bosco is located in the commune of Castiglione di Sicilia on the northern side of Mount Etna. The estate's vineyards extend between the two domains of Piano dei Daini in Solicchiata and Santo Spirito in Passopisciaro. The first written evidence of the estate of Solicchiata is found in an old manuscript dating back to 1669. Abate Coniglio from Castiglione describes the old domain, Piano dei Daini, as an area cultivated with vineyards and palmenti.

The winery’s vision is dedicated to the mother of this ancient land: Mount Etna. Inspired by the natural beauty and respect for this terroir and a perfect balance between ancient traditions and modern technology the Bosco family has dedicated all its passion to the production of top quality indigenous wines of unique character and elegance, and with a true expression of this terroir.

IPPOLITO 1845

NEW!!

With over 170 years of history, Ippolito is today the oldest winery in Calabria. Located in the historic center of Cirò Marina, the heart of Calabrian viticulture, the farm includes a 100-hectare agricultural estate, distributed between rolling hills and sunny plains near the Ionian Sea, in the classic Cirò area. The company mission has always been the recovery of traditions through the enhancement of native vines, the protection of the territory, intended as an ecosystem to defend and preserve.

Through research in the vineyard and in the cellar, the use of innovative techniques, the direct control of all production processes, we seek in our wines the elegance, exclusivity, and identity with our territory. A fascinating challenge addressed through absolute quality. Today the company can boast 15 labels on 4 continents, a result that more than any other confirms a significant entrepreneurial dynamism.

It was 1845 when Vincenzo Ippolito engraved his initials on the country house that was nestled between vineyards, olive orchards, and orange groves in the seaside of Cirò. Viticulture came to prominence over the other forms of agriculture of the area, although the consumption of the wine produced was strictly local at that time.

CLAUDIO QUARTA

After a distinguished career in bio-technology and research, which culminated in founding Italy’s first biotech research company Biosearch Italia(which went on to launch on the NASDAQ), Claudio Quarta decided to return to his home region and begin the next phase of his life as a winemaker. His vision was to highlight the incredible and distinctive wines of the regions near to his heart and to elevate them to Grand Cru status.

Fast forward to the vineyards of Southern Italy: his first venture was to be Tenute Eméra in Lizzano, followed shortly thereafter by Cantina Sanpaolo in Campania and in 2012 by his third winery, the small Cantina Moros in Salento. In the same year Alessandra falls in love with her oenological project and decides to follow in dad's footsteps, contributing with the same visionary approach to the crowning of a great dream.

Tenute Eméra, Cantina Sanpaolo, Cantina Moros, three wineries, three different territories, one goal: to produce wines capable of "telling" the story of the South of Italy. Here the great reds and the elegant whites are born, which express the identity of the territories and the essence of their native vines. Wines with a soul. With a contemporary style, attentive to sustainability in every production phase, where technological modernity is used to rediscover the authenticity of the grapes that have made the history of these territories.

For the US Market, Claudio and Alessandra import wines of these three top estates, but also produce a second label brand called Antica Masseria, which brings the key regions and their wines together in a more accessible way for US wine lovers.

CANTINA MOROS

CANTINA MOROS is the smallest of the Quarta house, located in Guagnano, the epicenter of the Salice Salentino DOP, in the heart of Negroamaro. An old social winery from the 1950s, reborn in 2012 to enhance the local cru in a modern "One Garage Wine", where only one wine, the namesake Moros, is produced, in just six thousand bottles a year: the only reality of this type in Puglia, a rarity on the national scene.

A stunning example of post-industrial architecture, it is a small treasure chest, where art, history and modernity come together in a unique atmosphere. The name is evocative of the history of these territories, theater of encounters with the Saracen culture and also recalls the dark color of the Negroamaro and the Malvasia Nera, which are exalted here as symbols of the local wine tradition. It also celebrates the god Moros, brother of Hemera, guardian of the ranks of fate.

Cantina Moros is located near the town's railway station as required by the culture of the past, when wine served as a "cutting" product to reinvigorate wines from other geographical areas. Thanks to the conservative restoration of the old factory, the underground tanks, in the past used for the storage of wine, have returned to new life and today preserve the barrels for the refinement of Salice Salentino Dop Riserva, "Moros".

In the small vineyard of just 1 hectare and 3, attached to the cellar, the grapes of Negroamaro and Malvasia Nera are grown from vines that are more than sixty years old.

ELENA FUCCI The winery was founded in 2000 in order to save the vineyards that surround our family home from being sold, those which were purchased by my grandfather Generoso in the 60’s. For decades the 6 hectares of vines located 600 meters above the sea at the foot of Mount Vulture (a dormant but not yet extinct Volcano) were cultivated for the sole purpose of selling the grapes on the local market and beyond, to northern Italy. Selling the vineyards seemed the most logical solution as my dreams took me far from my native home, elsewhere in the world to seek my fortune. But my heart sank at the thought of the sacrifices my family made being sold off, so I utterly changed my plans. Concurrent with my studies at the University of Pisa in Oenology and Viticulture a new project was launched, one that would invest in our territory, staking everything on a single wine, TITOLO, class “cru” to best represent the characteristics of Aglianico and the unique terroir and microclimate of our area.

SCEG was born from the desire to help some friends of my grandfather Generoso. My grandfather is 94 yrs and has worked his whole life in our vineyards. His friends have grown up together with him and have vineyards nearby. At their age its very difficult for them carry on the vineyards, and their sons are away from our little town. These men have refused to sell the vineyards hoping that someday their children would change their minds and come home and then take over, but there was a high probability these vineyards would soon be gone. I had to do something…

MASSIMO LENTSCH

NEW!!

The Massimo Lentsch estate, founded at the end of 2018, is situated on the slopes of Mount Etna, in the district (contrada) of Calderara Sottana in the commune of Randazzo, while some of the vineyards are in the commune of Castiglione di Sicilia, in Contrada Feudo di Mezzo.

Already the owner of the Tenuta di Castellaro estate on the island of Lipari, Lentsch wanted to begin another adventure on volcanic soil, this time taking on the challenge of Etna, an active volcano. "The decision to create vineyards and a winery on Etna has arrived at a particular moment in my life, in which much has altered at a personal level: a sort of milestone that marks an important change. Producing high-quality wines in a very fashionable but also extremely competitive region represents a major challenge for me, and one that I intend to win" explains Massimo Lentsch.

The contrasting interplay of lava and of water, represented by Etna and the Alcantara river, which flows close to the estate, creates a natural environment that is unique anywhere in the world.

Etna is the highest and most active volcano in Europe: it rises up majestically, like an island within the island. The Sicilians call it “Idda”, and refer to it as “the great mother”. The surreal landscape at the top, barren and inhospitable at the summit, is in complete contrast to that towards the valley, full of verdant woodland and vineyards.
