Since 1908 the Family has been delivering great quality wines. This is a tribute to the founders with a new Premium and Super Premium collection, aimed to challenge the most renowned Super Venetian wines and to create new signature blends.
1908 is not only the year of the foundation but it represents also the spirit of an age of enthusiasm after the Great Depression. Innovation and creativity were bringing new light and hope in the future, on the front door of the «Belle Époque».
A tribute to the founder Giovanni Cielo who bought a small estate just in front of the Romeo & Juliet Castles in the heart of Veneto. Originally, in that area, the wines were mostly blends of different regions, hence the decision to revamp the same path to combine richness of southern Italy with fruitiness of the North, obtaining a new original Prestige red blend. It is called «Nero» (Black) as Giovanni refers to a rich red wine. Powerful and concentrated with notes of cherry, blackberry and hints of cinnamon, tobacco and licorice.
Complex and velvety, with silky tannins and a delicious taste, this is how the “Alter Ego”, fascinating Rouge of Château Palmer presents itself.
This Margaux AOC is born from a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot, grown according to certified biodynamic methods. With a pleasant gustatory balance and marvelous fruity aromas, “Alter Ego” is a refined and complex wine of great depth, a lively expression of the different parcels and of the natural and genuine flavors of the grapes.
Underpinned by the year’s favorable climate, the 2020 vintage is on par with 2018 in terms of structure, boasting sunny Merlots, refined and powerful Cabernets, and a terroir of exceptional clarity.
Friends since school, Anthony Aubert & 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.
Carbon neutrality is the brand’s primary commitment.
In 2022, 70% of all the cuvées will be certified by an environmental label. Eco-responsible packaging comprehends recycled and lightweight glass bottles, sustainable caps, labels and boxes. Sustainable viticulture 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.
“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” – Anthony Aubert & Jean-Charles Mathieu
