					<description><![CDATA[Friends since school, Anthony Aubert &#38; Jean-Charles Mathieu challenged themselves to create a range of wines in their image, by bringing a touch of originality and modernity to their cuvées. Created in 2018, they are part of an eco-conscious approach, more transparent and more sustainable. This commitment is evident from the vine to the bottle with organic cuvées or in conversion.

<span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>Carbon neutrality</strong></span> is the brand's primary commitment.
In 2022, 70% of all the cuvées will be certified by an environmental label.
<span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>Eco-responsible</strong></span> packaging comprehends recycled and lightweight glass bottles, sustainable caps, labels and boxes.
<strong><span style="color: #99cc00;">Sustainable viticulture</span></strong> makes possible to plant hundreds of trees each year works and to safeguard and protect the bees, its environment and the beekeeping heritage of Languedoc.

<em>"Tired of our respective professional lives, we left everything to pursue a slightly crazy dream: to create wines like us, a little unconventional and offbeat"<strong> - Anthony Aubert &#38; Jean-Charles Mathieu </strong></em>

<span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>Certified Organic Agriculture</strong></span>, Fugue is a vibrant, textured, and energetic wine. Syrah is blended with an unexpected grape variety, Nielluccio, for an original and sincere expression. Vinified with whole bunches and aged in concrete eggs, the wine unfolds a refined palate, free of artifice and rich in personality. An unvarnished approach, where the balance lies between tension and sincerity.

Alcohol 13.5%</p>
<p><strong>APPEARANCE</strong><br />
A light ruby color with velvety shades.</p>
<p><strong>NOSE</strong><br />
A highly aromatic profile led by wild strawberries, red raspberries, and blackcurrant. It features a distinct rustic complexity showing hints of black pepper, cocoa, and subtle smoke.</p>
<p><strong>PALATE</strong><br />
On the palate is vibrant, fruity, and highly energetic. The concrete egg aging preserves a raw, texturized minerality. It starts broad and juicy with dark fruit flavors, moving into a structured finish balanced by natural, bright acidity.</p>
<p><strong>AGEING</strong><br />
Aged in concrete eggs after a whole cluster fermentation.</p>
<p><strong>PAIRING</strong><br />
It&#8217;s the wine to open with a daring friend, the one who always orders the most unusual dish on the menu. Imagine it with truffle ravioli, a leg of lamb or spicy Asian dishes.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[Juan Cúneo Solari founded Casas del Bosque in 1993, at a time when the Chilean wine industry was pursuing quantity over quality. His commitment to quality is evident in the Gran Reserva Cabernet, a wine which is a great exponent of this characteristic variety of Chile that finds one of its most typical expressions in the Maipo Valley.

<div class="elementor-text-editor rte-content">

The origin of “La Trampa” dates back to the early 2000’s, when the dream of the “Great Chilean Cool - Climate Red” began to take shape through an innovative proposal of planting low-yielding Syrah on granitic soils at the top of the hills. Later, advances in topography and knowledge of the vineyards led the team to plant Malbec in the same soils and in another part of the hill facing east, where the best Pinot Noir were already cultivated.

Over the years, experience showed that complementing our Syrah with Malbec and, later, Pinot Noir would give rise to this great wine, achieving a deep finesse and elegance like no other blend from a cold climate.

					<description><![CDATA[Casa Santos Lima was created to ensure the continuous development of Santos Lima’s wine producing activity created several generations ago. This activity was first started by Joaquim Santos Lima, who, by the turn of 19th century, was already a great producer and exporter of Portuguese wines. Still a family owned company, today is present in the regions of Lisboa, Algarve, Alentejo, Vinho Verde and Douro.

Touriga Nacional, Castelão, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon come together in this sumptuous red blend, very much indicative of the region. Lots of black cherry character at play here. Lovely, drawn-out, soft tannins manifest, with plenty of energy and power.

					<description><![CDATA[The Dezzani Winery was founded in 1934 in Cocconato, in the province of Asti. The town is located 491 meters above sea level on the renowned Riviera del Monferrato. The history of our wines is closely linked to this territory, to its ideal microclimate for growing unique vineyards, and to its authentic tradition. The historical remains of Romanesque, Gothic, and medieval architecture frame the rows of Barbera, Albarossa, Cabernet, and Syrah, making the landscape even more captivating.

The name “8 Bucce” celebrates the uniqueness of this wine, crafted from a masterful blend of eight grape varieties. The native Piedmontese varieties, Barbera, Dolcetto, Freisa, Bonarda, and Albarossa, are elegantly combined with Merlot, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon, lending depth, roundness, and structure. This wine reflects a vision where tradition and modernity merge into a timeless style, embracing a philosophy that honors native Piedmontese grapes while integrating international varieties to create unique and distinctive blends.
