This lineup needs no introduction as we are re-introducing returning classics. Anna will help us get into an Italian Christmas spirit. Three iconic producers that showcase the beauty and elegance of their region - Piccinin from Veneto, Azelia from Langhe, and Annesanti from Umbria.
Veneto
Daniele Piccinin, a former restaurateur, turned to organic/biodynamic viticulture. He purchased seven hectares in San Giovanni Ilarione, and is a passionate advocate of terroir expression in Verona.

Langhe
Azelia is a small, multi-generational family-run winery. Lorenzo & Luigi (son & father) Scavino now at the helm, with vineyards located in three villages, Castiglione Falletto, Serralunga d’Alba and Montelupo Albese. While we are pouring their Dolcetto and Nebbiolo, we also have their Barolos for sale.
Azelia, Bricco Dell 'Oriolo', Dolcetto d'Alba | Dolcetto
Luigi’s mother owned a small vineyard in front of the church of the Madonna dell’Oriolo, facing due south at 600 meters above sea level. Luigi’s father Lorenzo owned vines nearby, also at 600 meters. This blend of the two terroirs is an homage to the union of their families. $23
Azelia, Nebbiolo, Langhe | Nebbiolo
Amazing that we are pouring fruit that come from Barolo vineyards of Castiglione Falletto and Serralunga d'Alba. This is like drinking Barolo, at an earlier stage of its life at a reasonable price. $30

Umbria
Annesanti is located in Valnerina, in the southeast corner of Umbria. Another Italian natural winemaker who also carries on the tradition of polycultural farming.
