New arrival alert!

Roger is a versatile extra-strong bitter amaro like few we have ever tried.

It is inspired by Roger—a fellow castaway, alongside Jefferson, on the Calabrian peninsula—whose austere and sharp character was reserved for those who showed no respect for nature. Crafted from the finest hand-harvested Calabrian citrus fruits, including IGP Rocca Imperiale lemons, sweet and bitter oranges from Bisignano, and bergamots from Pellaro, this liqueur has vibrant flavours expertly blended with carefully selected bittering botanicals such as gentian, cinchona, and carlina. Free from artificial colorants and filtered only through linen cloths.

A must try for bitter amaro lovers.

Do you know how Ripasso and Amarone wines are made—and what sets them apart?

Ripasso is crafted from 50% Corvina, 25% Corvinone, 15% Rondinella, 5% Molinara, and 5% Oseleta. The grapes are hand-harvested and gently dried for 15 days before pressing. After fermentation and maceration in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks for 15-20 days, the wine undergoes a second fermentation in late January or February on the freshly pressed Amarone pomace (thus the name “repassed”). This process enhances structure, depth, and harmony, before the wine is aged in large oak barrels for added complexity.

Why not experience the magic of Ripasso together with it's parent Amarone?

Leon Riserva 7 Years is a grappa exceptionally rich in aromas and flavours. It is obtained from carefully selected pomace processed using the advanced Grappasystem—a specialized method that enables controlled fermentation through the addition of selected oenological yeasts. This system maintains the grape skins in optimal conditions within a high-pressure, oxygen-free, food-grade plastic tunnel, preserving their freshness and aromatic integrity for several months.

Distillation is carried out through a combination of traditional bain-marie pot stills and advanced column stills, undergoing three distinct distillations to achieve the perfect balance of purity and complexity. The Master Distiller plays a crucial role in determining the precise moment when the individual distillates are ready to be blended into a harmonious composition.

The grappa then matures for a minimum of seven years in small oak and cherry barriques, allowing it to develop depth, character, and a refined, velvety texture.

An absolute must try!

Grillo is a grape variety extremely popular in the Marsala region, where it plays a pivotal role in the production of Marsala DOC. When vinified in purity and utilizing cryomaceration techniques, Grillo yields wines of remarkable organoleptic complexity—savoury, aromatic, and possessing notable longevity. These attributes place it among the finest white wines of Sicily.

Intorcia’s Maestranza captures the essence of the Grillo grape with remarkable finesse. After destemming, the grapes undergo maceration on the skins in oak vats for 12-15 days. Following a gentle pressing, the wine matures for approximately six months in small Slavonian oak barrels. The result is a wine with a vibrant and bold profile featuring prominent citrus notes, Mediterranean and tropical fruit nuances, aromatic herbs, and a delicate floral bouquet. On the palate, it is smooth and well-structured, offering a harmonious balance of aromas and vibrant flavours.

Outstanding quality-to-value ratio!

Have you tried our wine of the month yet?

Ciliegiolo is an Italian red grape variety named after the Italian word for "cherry" (ciliegia), which reflects its vibrant fruit character. Traditionally, it has been a minor component in classic blends like Chianti, but in recent years, some winemakers have produced monovarietal Ciliegiolo wines.

The grape’s origins remain a subject of debate. Some believe it was introduced from Spain, while others argue that theory is unlikely due to its genetic link to Sangiovese. However, the precise relationship between the two grapes—whether one is a parent of the other—remains unclear.

Cantine Lunae’s Ciliegiolo is cherished for its deep ruby colour, vibrant fruit aromas and flavours, and refreshing lightness and purity. It’s the perfect wine to welcome the spring season! And for this month only you can have it half price when you buy a second bottle of wine!

Le Pianelle Bramaterra is a wine crafted in limited quantity from 80% Nebbiolo, with the remaining 20% composed of Vespolina and Croatina. Recently, it was ranked 78th among the world’s best wines by Antonio Galloni.

This wine boasts a broad and fruit-forward profile, complemented by an exquisite floral component and a balsamic touch of undergrowth, pine needles, and red berries. It is expansive on the palate, with remarkable persistence of fresh red fruit and an almost infinite finish. The texture is impressively consistent, revealing layers of blackberry, black cherry, and vibrant red fruit.

The grapes are meticulously hand-harvested at different times to ensure optimal ripeness. Each variety, as well as grapes from distinct vineyard areas, is vinified separately. Fermentation and maceration take place in open vats of untoasted French oak, allowing for a natural expression of the terroir. The wine is then aged in large Slavonian oak barrels for two years before bottling, followed by an extended period of bottle aging to refine its complexity and depth.

Have you tried this wine yet?

Piercarlo Carcereri Bianco is a unique wine made by a young winemaker who lends his name to this production of around 3000 bottles. With 80% Garganega, 15% Trebbiano di Soave, and 5% Malvasia di Candia, this blend is made with about 20% of Garganega and Trebbiano dried in boxes for two months. The destemmed grapes undergo three days of maceration, followed by soft pressing and spontaneous fermentation in cement tanks. After resting on the lees for a month, the fresh grapes mature in steel while the dried grapes age in tonneaux.

The resulting blend is a natural, unfiltered wine characterized by a deep straw colour with golden reflections. It boasts notes of white flowers, yellow fruit, and citrus on the nose, while the palate experiences a refreshing, saline taste with lasting persistence.

Vernaccia di San Gimignano is Tuscany's only DOCG white wine and was among the very first wines officially classified when Italy introduced the DOC system in 1966. The earliest recorded mention of the wine appears in the town archives of records of San Gimignano dating to 1276. Therein, we learn of the imposition of a tax of three “soldi” for anyone selling a “soma di Vernaccia”. Due to the difficulties in cultivating the Vernaccia grape, the wine fell out of favour in the early 20th century. By the 1960s, however, Vernaccia di San Gimignano experienced a resurgence as its distinctive, crisp qualities established it as a popular wine.

Crocus is a Riserva with a bright straw yellow colour with greenish reflections, tending to golden with aging. On the nose, it presents itself as a broad, fine wine, with notes of fruit in syrup, sweet spices, saffron and cardamom, and salty notes. In the mouth, it is dry, full, velvety with hints of ripe fruit, peach almond, and great savoury persistence.

Cavagino is an exceptional wine which originates from a historic cru in the Colli di Luni area.vermentino grapes benefit here from a unique microclimate where cool mountain breezes alternate with mild sea winds, creating temperature variations that enhance the ripening of intensely fragrant grapes.

Cavagino is crafted from old vines cultivated at an altitude of 150–200 meters above sea level. After a 48-hour cold maceration on the skins, fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks for 60% of the must, while the remaining 40% ferments in barriques. The wine is then aged in steel before bottling.
