Champagne Savart
 


Founded in 1947, this winery has been passed down for generations. Taking over for his father Rene in 2005, third-generation Champenois Frederic Savart has brought this estate to new heights in the Grower Champagne era. Frederic’s first love was football and his wines have both the brash, experimental confidence of an adrenalin junkie balanced with the craft and subtlety of a vigneron with generations of accumulated skill and wisdom at his disposal.
 
Savart L’Ouverture Blanc de Noirs Premier Cru Brut, Champagne, France NV 750ml $69 special, 28 bottles available
Importer’s Note “L’Ouverture is Fred Savart’s entry level Champagne but it is far from one-dimensional.

Paolo de Marchi, owner of Isole e Olena since taking over from his father in 1976, is one of Chianti’s leading winemakers. Unlike most renegades who took to experimenting with Bordeaux varietals along the Tuscan coast, he wanted to create a wine that centered Sangiovese. Back then, Chianti regulations stipulated that a certain proportion of white grapes be included in red wines.
 
In 1980, de Marchi released his first vintage of Cepparello, a 100% Sangiovese wine. He bottled it under the broad category of “vino da tavola”, as did other early “Super Tuscans” such as Sassicaia. You could say he foresaw that what Chianti needed wasn’t necessarily more grapes (French or white) but instead a more focused approach on what makes the region great.

Cascina delle Rose
 

In 1992 when Giovanna Rizzolio took over the Cascina delle Rose,
she was just one of a tiny minority of woman winemakers and winery owners in Piedmont…

“Cascina delle Rose is without question one of the emerging estates in Barbaresco. Readers who have not tasted these wines should make a point of doing so, as they encapsulate everything that makes Barbaresco so alluring.” –Antonio Galloni, Vinous
 
Piedmont’s Cascina delle Rose is a real sleeper estate producing elegant, expressive wines that prioritize beauty and drinkability over mass appeal.
