Es d'aqui Nino Red 2016

Jean Louis Pinto

A 100% Braucol from the Gaillac region! On the palate, this wine, which may seem austere in its early years, eventually develops a vegetal side, notes of candied fruit, and beautiful tannins. The attack is rustic and earthy, the finish fruity and complex.

Natural Single Malt Whisky

Ergaster Distillery
This single malt with its beautiful amber color is the pride of the Ergaster team. It is first aged in new barrels, then completes its maturation in reused barrels (25% vin jaune, 75% cognac). The nose is subtly fruity (guava, almond, white grape), unfolding into leather, walnuts, and fresh tobacco in the glass. On the palate, the attack is powerful with floral, woody, and vanilla notes, evolving into dried fruits. The finish is long and more herbaceous: green barley, spring onions, and hazelnut. Perfect for those who enjoy whisky with pure accents.

Malvasia Maceration White Maceration 2021,

Ladidadi/Pinheiro
In the small collection of Ladidadi-Pinheiro bottles that we offer, this one plays the role of white maceration, in other words, orange wine. It is therefore a dry, medium-bodied wine, delicately acidic, both round and bold with notes of citrus, particularly grapefruit. Malvasia Maceration says it all in its name: 100% Malvasia, it comes from vines growing at low altitude (420-460 meters) in the hills of Penalva do Castelo, in the Dão wine region of Portugal. The plots, with granite and clay-sand soil, are surrounded by chestnut trees, pines, olive trees and oaks, and face south. The harvest is destemmed and undergoes three weeks of maceration with foot and hand treading, resulting in slow pressing. Fermentation is spontaneous, using indigenous yeasts. The wine is aged for ten months. No addition of sulfites or other chemical inputs from the vine to the bottling, which is done without filtration.

To find out more
The duality of the name Ladidadi/Pinheiro is simply due to the fact that this winemaking entity is the result of a friendship: that of Florian Tonello, creator of the Ladidadi Wine brand, wine merchant-DJ-globetrotter who devotes his life to making natural wines known and loved, and Hugo Pinheiro, winemaker at the head of a small estate of two and a half hectares in Penalva do Castelo, district of Viseu, Dão appellation (central Portugal). Together, they decided to produce several vintages of natural wines, obtained through organic farming, manual harvests, fermentation with indigenous yeasts, without filtration or the addition of sulfites, from the emblematic grape varieties of the appellation on an estate planted around thirty years ago, with a small part planted in the 1980s. We therefore find Touriga Nacional as the main grape variety in red, followed by Clarete, Jaen and Encruzado, and in white Malvasia, Cerceal, Bical and Terrantez. Vibrant, lively wines, and a great opportunity to discover Portugal's wine-growing region in natural mode.

Munjebel MC Red 2020

Cornelissen
Munjebel MC, an organic (Eurofeuille), biodynamic, and natural red wine from Sicily, is produced by Frank Cornelissen. It is classified DOP (PDO) Etna Rosso/IGP Terre Siciliane Nerello Mascalese. It comes from the Contrada Monte Colla, a very steep terraced plot, beautifully exposed to the sun and wind, directly opposite Mount Etna. The Nerello Mascalese vines, planted in 1946, grow on sandy-clay soil.

Vinification
The harvest is destemmed and lightly crushed, then macerated for sixty days on the skins. The wine is aged for 18 months in vats and 18 months in bottles. No fining, light filtration.

Tasting
Rich and powerful, with elegance, Munjebel MC is a bit like the hermitage of Etna. Intense color of a deep and saturated red, notes of red rose and wild red fruits. Body, richness and thickness, aromatic palate supported by a fresh acidity. You will pair it with red meats and Mediterranean dishes. Try a Bigorre black ham or a grilled or roasted wagyu from Maison Aitana.

Learn more about Frank Cornelissen
A key and universally respected figure in natural, organic, and biodynamic wine, Belgian Frank Cornelissen, a winemaker captivated by Sicily, is a classic. This man of constant questioning lives in human and cosmic resonance with his terroir: he has demonstrated that the powerful minerality of a great volcanic soil could be highlighted by the naturalness of his wines.

An ideal terroir for plot-by-plot vinification
In Passopisciaro, Sicily, in the north of the Etna valley, the 19 plots cover 24 hectares of basalt soils spread over numerous localities (contrade) between 600 and 900 meters above sea level on the side of the volcano. It is, says Frank Cornelissen, the "Night Coast of Sicily". Frank Cornelissen's contrade are all cultivated biodynamically and vinified separately: he decides on the blends based on the quality of each.

The nobility of Nerello Mascalese
Nerello Mascalese is the dominant variety and alone makes up the greatest vintages. This traditional red grape variety from the northern Etna valley produces hypermineral wines due to its long growing cycle. Other grape varieties in the azienda: Nerello Capuccio, Minella Bianco, Minella Nera, Alicante Bouschet, Malvasia, Catarratto, Moscadella, Grecanico Dorato, Carricante…

BS Blanc de Sumoll White 2020

Partida Creus

Finely macerated, with a superb golden hue vering with orange, BS Blanc de Sumoll is perfect for the table and refined dishes. Vibrant and aromatic, it offers notes of citrus (grapefruit, orange, lemon), rose, peach, apple, quince, garrigue (thyme, rosemary), and quince, with a rather saline finish. It is also mineral with notes of honey, leather, and stone. This still, sunny Blanc de Noirs, made from 100% white Sumoll (a grape variety that has become extremely rare in Catalonia) and produced directly from the press, is a historic cuvée, the first produced by Massimo and Antonella. Classified as Vino de Mesa (table wine), this is a very rare vintage that should not be missed when a few bottles appear.

Partida Creus is an important estate, both in terms of wine and history – we are talking here about the history of the vine in Catalonia. Massimo Marchiori and Antonella Gerosa, originally from Piedmont – and even from the Langhe region, where wine is well-known – first pursued careers as architects in Barcelona. But the wine bug bit them, and soon they abandoned the big city and its sophistication for the vineyards of southern Catalonia, in Bonastre in Baix-Penedés. There they found a quantity of abandoned vineyards planted with a dizzying diversity of traditional Catalan grape varieties that they passionately revived to save these varieties – and their wines – from oblivion. On their part, it’s not just a matter of saving heritage, no: it’s a matter of taste and nature. Natural wines, which they will continue to make from now on on these sandy, poor, clay-limestone or clay-gravelly, poor and poorly irrigated lands, where the vines suffer to give their best juice. Massimo and Antonella practice organic, biodynamic, entirely manual and natural viticulture in order to give new life to these wines. Vinyater, sumoll, garrut, monastrell, ull de perdiu, ull de llebre, sumoll, queixal de llop, cariñena, trepat, ceciat parent, maccabeu, parellada, pansé, vinel·lo, bobal, cartoixà vermell or xarel·lo: it is a true conservatory of the native Catalan grape varieties that Partida Creus cares for. Moscatel, Grenache, Merlot, and Cabernet (among others) are also grown here. Few wineries can boast growing so many different grape varieties. The wines reflect this diversity, with winemakers striving to best convey the signature of the soil and the grape variety: single-varietal wines are common among them, alongside extensive blends, all in the styles dear to Catalonia: still wine, "ancestral" sparkling wine, and even vermouth. The bottles themselves are works of art: bare glass, simply marked with two large stenciled initials that denote the cuvée. The wines, fresh, vibrant, lush but always straightforward and impeccably juicy and fruity, breathe life. The arrival of a Partida Creus at the table always elicits cries of satisfaction.

VNBA Vinel lo Ancestral Sparkling White 2021

Partida Creus

"The nose of this Vinel lo Blanco Ancestral offers aromas of ripe white fruits and yeast reminiscent of pastries. On the palate, it is elegant, fresh, and suitable for all occasions, but we recommend it as an aperitif or to accompany desserts (king cake, pithiviers, millefeuille, and all types of puff pastry). This lively and easy-drinking white sparkling wine (10% alcohol) is a blend of native Catalan grape varieties: Garnatxa Blanca, Macabeu, Moscatell, Vinyater, Xarel lo, Pansé, and Parellada. The harvest is pressed directly, and the must ferments in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats with indigenous yeasts. A second fermentation takes place in the bottle, where it ages for 10 months on its lees. fines. Dry, light, and fruity, classified as a Vino de Mesa (table wine), Vinel·lo Blanco Ancestral will easily replace a Champagne with a sunnier nuance.

Partida Creus
XL Xarel·lo is a smoky, explosive, lively, and mineral white wine that is also characterized by excellent drinkability and conviviality combined with uncommon depth and persistence. Classified as a Vino de Mesa (table wine), this is a classic white from the Partida Creus estate that offers a pure and typical expression of the native Catalan grape variety Xarel·lo. It is a good introduction to this winery's many vintages, as it is so representative of their style. Pair XL Blanco with seafood, fish, white meats, and roasted or grilled poultry.

Vino Rosato Rosé 2021

Corva Gialla
Here is Vino Rosato, a beautiful Italian wine from the Lazio region whose pretty light pink color heralds pleasant floral notes on the nose and palate: rose, red fruits, citrus, acidity, and a touch of bitterness on the finish, reminiscent of grapefruit peel, which gives it a lot of charm. It is a blend of Montepulciano and Sangiovese grapes. The Montepulciano harvest macerates for 48 hours on the skins before being pressed, while the Sangiovese is pressed directly at the entrance to the winery. The musts are then fermented together in fiberglass vats where they are further refined until bottling in March. Vino Rosato will suit everything you want from a rosé, and more: its purity and balance raise it above the standard image of summer rosés. We recommend it in any season and particularly with food.

The Azienda Corva Gialla ("yellow crow") is a winery in Lazio, Italy, located on the edge of Umbria in the Alta Tuscia Viterbese. A volcanic region considered one of the most beautiful in Italy and characterized by its calanches, high tuff rock formations delimiting deep valleys carved by numerous rivers and torrents. Corva Gialla is located in Lubriano, opposite Cività di Bagnoregio. Alta Tuscia is proving to be a breeding ground for young winemaking talents dedicated to nature, who are reclaiming these historically neglected lands. Founded in 2017, the estate comprises four hectares cultivated by Beatrice Arweiler, originally from another wine-growing region, between the Rhine and the Moselle. The new owner has also planted an olive grove (Frantoio and Leccino varieties) and converted the estate into a mixed crop-livestock system. The vines were planted with the help of Gian Marco Antonuzzi of the Le Coste estate. The friable volcanic soil lends itself beautifully to viticulture and the planting of grape varieties such as Grechetto d'Umbria, Trebbiano, Vermentino, Sangiovese, and Ciliegiolo. The estate's wines are quintessentially Italian, meaning they are crafted primarily for enjoyment. They are straightforward, deep, and easy to drink, expressing the strong minerality of their soils.

Vino Rosso Rossetto Red 2021,

Corva Gialla

Fruit and drinkability above all: Rossetto was designed to be joyful and easy to drink. Azienda Corvagialla sought to promote maximum acidity in the harvest to obtain a pleasant wine with a very present fruity note: cherry and strawberry, on the nose as well as on the palate. This wine is a distinguished gurgling wine, a wine for pleasure and relaxation with friends that you will love to return to on any occasion. Rossetto is a 100% Sangiovese from the most vigorous plot of the vineyard: made up of volcanic soils, it faces west and is located at an altitude of 450 meters. The harvest is destemmed and macerated for about three weeks with daily pumping over or punching down as needed. After fermentation, Rossetto is aged in fiberglass vats until bottling in March.

Vindemiatrix Red 2020,

La Senda
La Bodega La Senda is the creation of Diego Losada, a native of Bierzo, a region in the northwest of the province of León, bordered to the north by Asturias and to the west by Galicia. Pilgrims traveling to Compostela via the Camino Francés or the Camino de Invierno can admire its magnificent landscapes, where ancient vineyards cover the hilltops. Viticulture dates back to Roman times, but the region was so traumatized by the phylloxera crisis that vines were not replanted until the mid-20th century, without massive uprooting, giving these vines an average age of forty to seventy years. Born in Ponferrada, in the northern Bierzo, Diego has never been one for compromise. Resolutely radical, with a passion for freedom and rigor, he first applied this disposition to music in the heavy metal band he formed with his high school friends. It was later to wine that he would devote this same passion, studying organic chemistry at university and learning the scientific aspects of viticulture. But the scientific rigidity and conventional methods he discovered on some of the estates where he worked did not satisfy him. Attracted to a viticulture closer to the land, Diego reclaimed a few plots to showcase the Bierzo terroir as naturally as possible. In 2012, he created the La Senda estate, whose name means "the path," on the outskirts of his hometown. His wines would be like him: honest, frank, natural, and expressive. Not awarded the designation of origin, they are the pure reflection of their soils and their climate, of the personality and energy of their creator.
This very pretty, dense, homogeneous and balanced red, with a beautiful dark color, is composed of Mencia (90%), a grape variety from the Trousseau, and 10% Doña Blanca and Palomino. Unfiltered and unsulfured, it comes from seventy to ninety-year-old vines grown in the north of Bierzo on a homogeneous plot with clay-limestone soils very rich in quartz, at an altitude of 550 meters. The grapes macerate for three to four days in old, unsealed chestnut vats; the wines are aged in French oak barrels for eleven months. This is a magnificent red typical of the earthy style of Bierzo: both dense and fresh, powerful and fruity (red and black fruits), crossed by a breath of smoke, violets and spices. Velvety and fleshy on the palate. For stews and black truffles... This is also an excellent bottle to introduce you to the La Senda style; it will be even more eloquent in a carafe.
Natural wine with no added sulfites.

Trepat Beer with Wine 2020,

Cyclic Beer Farm
Packaged in 75 cl bottles so that everyone can satisfy their thirst, the beers from the Barcelona-based brewery Cyclic Beer Farm play between classicism and flights of inspiration, in a contrasting and creative way, in the Catalan style. Based on classic principles and a Belgian fermentation model, the two brewer-winemakers Joshua and Alberto play with ingredients, aromas, and macerations, including cereals, fruits, vegetables, and grape skins from Catalan grape varieties, to achieve flavors reminiscent of an unidentified drinkable object (OBNI). Whether they assert themselves on balance or on a certain controlled dissonance, these beers will never leave you indifferent and will reveal their full potential in the summer heat, served well chilled.
At 4.25% alcohol, Trepat is part of the Cyclic Beer Farm 2020 Wine Ales series, which also includes Garnatxa, Carignan and Xarel·10. They are fermented with the marc of local grape varieties. All the grapes are organic and harvested by hand before being pressed or macerated for the production of wines. The resulting marc (skins and stems) is then added to already fermented and aged beers, selected for each type of grape variety. A maceration of one to six months follows to allow the residual sugar to complete its fermentation and the character of the grape variety to be communicated to the beer through infusion. Before bottling, brewers decide whether or not to add beer to achieve the desired flavors, based on acidity, the natural taste of the grape variety, tannins, complexity, and drinkability.
Brewers choose beers from three bases: their saison, their sour base (fermented from their blend of lactic acid bacteria and their blend of indigenous yeasts), and their "funky" base (indigenous yeasts and a cocktail of brettanomyces-type yeasts). After blending and bottling, the beers referment and mature for varying lengths of time.
Trepat is brewed with the marc of the local grape variety of the same name, an ancient variety with raspberry notes. It first seduces with a pretty bubble-gum pink color that announces freshness. It is delicious and seductive with its notes of raspberry, blackberry and its finely musky character, like the grape variety that goes into its composition.

Blancas Nobles White 2011, Bodega Barranco Oscuro
Blancas Nobles is a dry white wine from Andalusia made from the indigenous Vigiriega grape variety and a collection of noble white grape varieties from Europe (Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Riesling, Albarino) grown on schist-clay soils. This 2011, aged for twenty-one months in stainless steel vats, is particularly successful and presents a beautiful straw yellow color tending towards gold. It expresses notes of green apple, fresh orange zest with buttery and brioche accents: a delight! A beautiful, controlled oxidation that does not contradict the fruity nature of the wine. Noble grape varieties make for a noble wine: incredibly complex, full of balance, minerality, and seduction.
