It’s a miracle that you’re here, that you’ve chosen this bottle, that you’re reading these words. We often dream so big that we forget about the wonderful things happening around us every day. A surprise trip, that song that took you back to your childhood, or the strange coincidence of finding love… in the end, miracles are just extraordinary events – and life is full of them. It all depends on you. You can keep waiting for that big event that might change your life, or you can toast the here and now, and make the miracle happen yourself.
Sometimes the extraordinary does happen – you just have to let it.

Fattoria Il Muro has been owned by the Pancaro family for about 200 years and has always been dedicated to viticulture, thanks to the favorable environmental conditions. The presence of soils rich in galestro and the climate, characterized by strong temperature variations due to the proximity to the Alpe di Poti, create a micro-environment that enhances the organoleptic qualities and healthiness of the grapes. This allows for the adoption of environmentally friendly cultivation practices. The vineyards and olive groves extend mainly on hilly terrain that gently slopes towards the valley plain of the Castro stream.
The name of the wine is dedicated to the Castro torrent, a mountain torrent that flows down by our vineyards.
It can be consider a Baby SuperTuscan because of its «traditional» SuperTuscan blend, but unlike “Senior” Supertuscan wines, ageing takes place in used barrels and only for 6 months, so it remains fresh and extremely easy to drink.

Sociedade Agrícola Quinta do Conde is a family owned business located in Alenquer, north of Lisbon. The Santos Lima family, to whom these vineyards belong for many generations has been dedicated since the turn of the 19th century, to wine production and export business. In 2005, the company started bottling and selling its first wines. Since then, the portfolio has increased, having currently more than 25 different brands.

Gnarly Head wines began with a vision and a vine. In 2004, on a mission to make a serious Zinfandel, winemakers journeyed to Lodi in central California in search of the famed old vine Zinfandel vineyards. Grown in the head-trained, spur-pruned method for over a century, these vigorous gnarled vines produced more ripened red fruit than they had ever seen. They took it as a challenge to create the biggest, boldest Zinfandel they had ever made. The result was authentic, structured wines with a hint of something unexpected. Something Gnarly.
This Cabernet Sauvignon is a bold wine grown from some of the oldest vines in California. Older vines produce fewer grape clusters, but the small berries yield intense, dark fruit flavors.
Casa Santos Lima was created to ensure the continuous development of Santos Lima’s wine producing activity created several generations ago.

‘Hat Trick’ has a double meaning, basically this wine is the third in a row of the Lisbon cuvées from Santos Lima.

The ‘Hat Trick’ is the ‘newest’ wine produced by Santos Lima, after the Portuga and the Tarambola. The ‘hat trick’ is depicted literally on the label; ‘a trick from the top hat’.
Bernard Magrez’s journey is that of passion, a constant desire for improvement, know-how and exceptional success which has its roots first in Bordeaux, in the Grands Crus Classés, then in other prestigious terroirs in France and around the world.
L’Âme de Pape Clément’s vineyard is nestled in the heart of the Graves region, on the left bank of the Garonne River where the soil and climate are ideal for grapes to ripen and vines to flourish. Dig down into the subsoil and you’ll find gravel and a layer of clay and limestone, which absorbs the sun’s heat during the day and releases it at night to produce remarkably full, ripe grapes. What’s more, the nearby river and the vineyard’s exposure to the sun help create a microclimate which helps protect and nurture the vines.
Owned by the Bernard family since 1983, the magnificent Domaine de Chevalier is at the top of the greatest Crus Classés of Bordeaux.
The estate is located in the heart of the Pessac-Léognan appellation which is located in a green setting south of Bordeaux.
Domaine de Chevalier watches over a rare vineyard with 60 hectares of red vines. The vineyard is based on a gravel terroir with clay-gravelly subsoils. Since 1986, the young vines have been intended to ripen the berries which are used in the blending of the estate’s second wine, L’Esprit de Chevalier.
Three large plots in the best parts of Pauillac form the vineyard of this classified growth, an unusual configuration and a direct inheritance from the estate’s founder, Pierre Ducasse, an eminent lawyer. In the 18th century he gave a single name to a fine vineyard holding, which was put together through inheritance and purchases. When he died in 1797, his son, Pierre, inherited a 60-hectare exploitation, named Ducasse-Grand-Puy-Artigues-Arnaud, of which two third were planted with vines. The estate was classified in 1855, under the name of Artigues Arnaud.
L’Héritier de Grand Puy Ducasse is the second wine of Château Grand-Puy Ducasse. The 2016 vintage has a garnet color that opens onto a cedar nose with a touch of blackcurrant and gray pepper. The attack in the mouth is dynamic, followed by a well-proportioned length. This Héritiers de Grand-Puy Ducasse cuvée is then marked by a minty finish that allows you to appreciate its freshness.
