Poggio Scalette

NEW PRODUCER

Located in the Val di Greve, in Tuscany’s Chianti Classico sub-region, Poggio Scalette sits upon the hill of Ruffoli, which is widely considered one of the top areas to cultivate grapes in the denomination. This is a story of revival and of passion, as after many years of abandonment, due to the death of the former owner, in 1991 Poggio Scalette was lovingly brought back to life by esteemed consultant oenologist Vittorio Fiore. Since then, it has become one of the most respected wineries in Tuscany, producing outstanding wines from an ancient clone of Sangiovese called Lamole, and some of the finest Super Tuscans available.

Monteleone

NEW PRODUCER

Monteleone is a small, family-run winery, from a pair of passionate young vignerons, husband and wife team, Benedetto and Giulia Monteleone. Together they shared a dream of one day owning their own winery and after much research, in 2017 they found themselves the perfect property at the foot of Sicily’s Mount Etna, next to the Alcantara river. They have 7 hectares of organically cultivated vines on the Northern and Eastern slopes of Etna, solely focussed on native Sicilian varieties; Nerello Mascalese, Nerello Cappuccio, and Carricante. Committed and passionate about capturing the essence of Etna’s terroir in their wines, Benedetto and Giulia Monteleone are promising talents with great potential.

Balìa di Zola

NEW PRODUCER

Balìa di Zola is situated in Modigliana, a picturesque town and valley in the Romagna area, the southern part of the Emilia-Romagna region. For many years the Tuscans have been at the forefront of Sangiovese production, but just across the regional border, nestled in the foothills of the Apennines, Modigliana produce beautiful expressions of this noble grape variety. Sangiovese di Romagna is one of Italy’s best kept secrets, but thanks to producers such as Balìa di Zola who tirelessly work to preserve and promote their regional heritage, this underrated gem is flourishing.
