NEW PRODUCER

Marco Bui of Tenute Guardasole is part of a new generation of talented, young winemakers who are bringing life back to long abandoned vineyards of Alto Piemonte. An area which for many years has taken a back seat to Barolo and Barbaresco, but more recently has been recognized for its distinctive wines of great quality and undisputable value. Located in the Boca DOC, Tenute Guardasole is a very small, family run winery consisting of just 2 hectares. Certified Organic, they do not use pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers in the production of their wine. They work with minimal intervention in order to best preserve the varietal characteristics. Owners Marco Bui and Annalisa Gri's mission is to make small quantities of wine, of the highest quality.

New Producer

A rising star in Piedmont, Gian Luca Colombo is a seasoned, award winning oenologist, who from a young age has been committed to the art of winemaking.

Located in Roddi, Segni di Langa comprises of 4 hectares of vineyard land. Gian Luca cultivates using sustainable practices and is working towards Organic and Biodynamic conversion. He believes that rather than taking a pre-planned, directional approach to winemaking, you should follow the evolution of a wine instead. To do this he takes a minimal intervention approach to vinification, all his wines are made without filtration or clarification.  

Everything about this operation is very personal for Gian Luca and so, as a sign of his commitment and a symbol of his devotion to this project, each and every bottle is branded with his fingerprint.

NEW PRODUCER

Located in the southernmost part of Côtes de Provence, Château Saint-Maur is nestled between the foothills of the stunning Massif des Maures mountain range and the Mediterranean Sea. Built in the 19^th century, Château Saint-Maur’s winemaking roots run deep within Provence. Since 1955, the estate has upheld the elite status of Cru Classé, alongside a small list of just 22 other estates. A designation which is granted upon the evaluation of an estate’s history, winemaking, vineyard quality and reputation. 

Today, this modern winery thrives, with new talent and passion for superior quality wines. Extremely well made, we were impressed with these wines for their precision, focus, purity of fruit and value for money at every level. We are delighted to represent Château Saint-Maur in the UK and we look forward to many a summer’s evening to come, enjoying a glass of their rosé!
