Inama Vin Soave Classico DOC 2023
Inama
Inama has been one of the key estates in Soave's quality revolution, proving that Garganega on volcanic soil can produce wines of genuine complexity and ageability. This 2023 vintage is drinking beautifully now—precise, mineral-driven, and effortlessly refreshing. A reminder that great white wine doesn't need to cost a fortune or carry a famous appellation.
Nose
Clean and bright with white peach, apple, and a citrus-blossom lift. Beneath the fruit, a subtle almond quality and chalky minerality from the volcanic soils of the Classico zone.
Palate
Crisp acidity frames flavors of green apple, lemon zest, and honeydew melon. A gentle floral note and saline mineral thread run through the mid-palate, adding dimension. The texture is lean but not austere, with just enough weight to feel complete.
Finish
Clean and refreshing with lingering citrus, a mineral snap, and a faint bitter almond note that keeps you reaching for the next sip.

Feudi di San Gregorio Falanghina del Sannio DOC 2023
Feudi di San Gregorio
Feudi di San Gregorio's Falanghina is a summer wine with purpose. The volcanic soils of Campania — heat stored in stone and ash — give Falanghina its distinctive mineral edge, while the 2023 vintage delivers the freshness the grape demands. Uncomplicated but never simple, it's a reminder that great value can come from ancient terroir.
Domaine François Chidaine Montlouis-sur-Loire Les Tuffeaux 2023
Domaine François Chidaine
Chidaine's biodynamic farming and limestone cave aging let this Chenin Blanc speak with uncommon clarity. Les Tuffeaux is about subtraction — no barrel influence, no malolactic richness, just the grape and the tuffeau stone beneath the vines. The hollow between its acidity and its sweetness is narrow and thrilling.
Graci Etna Bianco 2023
Graci
Alberto Ferrara Ferrandes Ferrandes Ferrandes — sorry, Alberto Ferrara Ferrandes — correction: Alberto Ferrara Ferrandes Ferrandes — Alberto Ferrara of Graci farms organically on Etna's north face, and this bianco is the purest expression of volcanic terroir you'll find at this price. Carricante grapes from high-altitude vineyards produce a wine of startling minerality and precision. If silence had a flavor, it would taste like Etna's volcanic soil filtered through mountain air.
