AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

The Langhe Nebbiolo is made using fruit from the estate’s (comparatively) younger vines on the hillside slopes in Monforte d’Alba. Here, the vines face southeast and are rooted in soils rich in minerals and limestone. Handpicked fruit was destemmed and gently pressed to tank for fermentation. Maceration was short—just 10 days—and the wine matured for 12 months in large-format oak.

“This wine opens with aromas of sour cherry, raspberry, rose and roasted earth giving way to a palate that is elegant and refined. Mixed red fruits dance with savory spice, herbs and underbrush finished by fine tannins and balanced acidity.” 91 points, Jeff Porter, Wine Enthusiast

About Josetta Saffirio

The tale of Josetta Saffirio, as with many Italian wineries, is one birthed from a rich family history.

In 1975, Josetta Saffirio’s story begins – she starts taking care of the vineyards that her father purchased a few decades prior. She experiments crafting wines, eventually creating a unique Barolo that blows the socks off the wine industry – a real feat for her to have achieved at that time.

Now Josetta’s daughter, Sara Vezza, has taken charge of the vineyard. She takes great pride in working in unison with the land, saying “wine is a life force, rich in micro-organisms that allow it to evolve.”

On the one hand, our role as a merchant of all things wine & spirits could not be simpler. We aim to source the most delicious, the most authentic, and the highest quality products possible from Australia and around the world in order to offer them to our clients. We live or die by how well we perform this task. Of course things are rarely as simple or as easy as they seem. Hunting for wines & spirits is no different. Apart from the months spent travelling, countless days and evenings spent tasting and the outrageous wine expenditure in the name of ‘research’, sourcing quality wine and spirits requires expertise and experience. Understanding the potential of a producer and their products is much more than just a slurp and a spit.
