The Best Winery in Gigondas
Over the years at Vinopolis we’ve made a pointed effort at investing in wineries which offer a longevity of quality and uncompromising translation of the world’s iconic regions. We’ve developed deep relationships with estates all across the world, and in turn deep relationships with the bottlings that they release vintage after vintage. One such relationship that we’re incredibly proud to promote is that of Château Saint Cosme in the Southern Rhone.
 
The timeline of our own interest and investment in the wines of Château Saint Cosme is but a blip dwarfed by the legacy of the Barruol family which has owned the estate since 1490.

A Vision of Barbaresco
 
 
The legacy of Produttori del Barbaresco is the legacy of an appellation and a fiercely visionary line of individuals that have striven to carve its name into the annals of Italy’s finest wines. Until the time of the late 19th century, the vineyard holdings surrounding the town of Barbaresco were exclusively being maintained as a supply of additional grapes for the wineries of the neighboring Barolo appellation. This was until an enterprising educator and viticulturist named Domizio Cavazza arrived with a mind to change the perception of Barbaresco forever. After being rebutted by the governing authorities on the idea of expanding the Barolo appellation to formally include the vineyards of Barbaresco, he took matters into his own hands.

Echoes from the Tuscan Past
 
 
The warm sun on your shoulders. Shutters hanging open to the breeze and dusty cobblestone passageways snaking through the shade and the light. Your weary feet find the will to continue onward. Onward and upward through the streets of a place known only by name but whose sounds and glories are forgotten and buried with those that lived them. A trip to Tuscany can be both incredibly enlightening and simultaneously heart-wrenching. It’s hard and painful to explain this dichotomy to the uinitiated. It’s painful to discuss at all.

As one drives through Tuscany’s tranquil landscape and explores her imposing hillside settlements you are truly caught between two worlds.
