As the weather cools and the holiday season approaches, our eyes start to drift toward the shelves that hold those deep Italian reds that stir up visions of slow braising meets and long, indulgent dinners. As a regular customer put it, these are wines that challenge rather than soothe. Built to glacially age and slowly unfurl in the glass, they have the tannin and acidity, bone structure for wine, to brave the coldest nights and the rarest rib roasts. Here’s four of our favorite Italian reds that can be the perfect gift or the centerpiece of any table

Paolo Bea Cerette 2017 - The most Be a of Bea’s wines, 100% Sagrantino from one of the highest plots in Montefalco. Patience during maceration and aging created a deep and intense wine that remains elegant and lithe thanks to the high elevation. Dark fruit, violet, pepper, and those trademark Sagrantino tannins. It gives beautiful ferocity now and will show controlled power in 10 years.

Canonica Barolo Paiagallo 2020 - Singular in every sense, this is a single vineyard expression of Nebbiolo from a tiny hillside parcel just above the village of Barolo. Giovanni Cononica farms his 1.5 hectare corner of the Paiagallo vineyard completely organically, crafting an expressive Barolo. Light ruby in color with more explosive fruit thanks to use of the rare Nebbiolo Rose mutation, this has all the classic Barolo markers with an added dimension of liveliness.

Fattoria di Bacchereto Terre a Mano Carmignano 2019 - The original Super Tuscan, Carmignano DOCG started allowing the blending of French grape Cabernet Sauvignon in the 1700s. This blend of Sangiovese, Canaiolo and Cab drinks somewhere between ancient and modern, not in the over-extracted over-baked way, but like a rustic Italian wine with a French bistro edge. Beautiful cherry and dark fruit, present acidity, and a sultry spark of leather and earth. At just under $60, this is truly one of the greatest values in the category.

Another drop from the singular and exceptional duo Dar and Ribo. RJ and Francois essentially started the sans souffre movement in the northern Rhône, and to this day craft stunning and drinkable wines from several small organically farmed parcelles around some of the regions greatest appellations. These aren’t the glacially developing tightly wound Syrah you think of - they’re fresh and wild and disappear far quicker than you expect. The whites the same, more expressive than oily. We also have some of Dard’s Negoce cuvées that come in at an excellent price for what you’re getting. Allez!

Yann Durieux is back in Nolita 💀 crazy good natural Burgundy from three small hectares around Nuit Saint Georges. Yann started his winemaking career under Julien Guillot, then did a solid decade at Prieur Roche - this guy paid his dues and knows his stuff. He now farms three hectares and turns out small batches of wildly expressive wines, mostly done in concrete to preserve freshness. We have his trademark Aligoté as well as three Pinots - one with a tasty bit of age on it (Night Cost ‘17). These are the types of Burg to drink when craving something equally wild and finessed. Not much to go around but just enough to share ❤️

Friendship wine 😇 Emilie and Raphael Beysang craft some of the most honest juice in the Southern Beaujolais, the type of cranberry nectar that we can’t get enough of. Once a year they team up with their friend and Alsatian wine legend Jean Marc Dreyer, macerating their Gamay in the juice of his complantes white grapes. Nouveau style, in a liter bottle that’s perfect for sharing. Celebrate friendship this season with some friends :)

The new release of Jean-Pierre Robinot’s wines have landed at the shop ⚡️ a one of a kind winemaker nestled in Jasnieres works exclusively with Pineau D’Aunis and Chenin - perhaps the coolest red/white binary to operate within. His lore is unparalleled. He was a plumber who had a wine epiphany from a bottle of Bordeaux (same bottle and just a few vintages away from Sideways’ infamous ‘61 Cheval Blanc) and opened a natural wine bar in the 90s. He is DIY through and through and his wines speak to that. Deep and powerful, but light at the same time. Never too high in alcohol but possessing some unspeakable power. We got the whole line up but they won’t be around for long. If you can, grab a couple and tuck one away to be forgotten about for a decade and blow your older self’s mind 🤯

Pineau D’Aunis Highlight 🌟 🍇 Today really feels like fall (you can see I’m wearing a sweater) and it’s the perfect time to drink a favorite fall grape. Pineau D’Aubis is a nifty grape almost exclusively grown in the Loire Valley. It has thin skins and makes light bodied wines, but similar to a grape like Nebbiolo, it can still pack a slightly grippy punch. My favorite thing about this grape is its distinct black and white pepper note that gives it a seasonal cozy touch. We got a few options lined up that are perfect for the crisp weekend ahead!

Ariane Lesne ‘Picrochole’ - Ariane is a wizard with this variety, and Picrochole is her lighter and more approachable bottling. Fresh fruit and pepper, perfect balance, with a lovely edge

Les Maisons Rouge ‘Garance’ - the most classic of the bunch, this wine is also probably wearing a sweater but with a crisp collared shirt underneath. Silky texture with a touch of tannin. A pronounced pepper note making this a textbook example of the variety

Le Briseau ‘Patapon’ - a staple on our shelves and a key marker of the season. I love this wine for its dusty tannin and beautiful violet aromatics

Francois Saint-Lo ‘Unis des Bois Guyon’ - a hedonistic diversion from the pack. fresh crunchy fruit with tasty bits of spice that feel more like electric pop rocks than peppercorns

It’s no secret that we have a deep love for Ardèche. The natty corner of the Rhône with its own unique identity, one inseparable from the story of free and living wine. Recently we highlighted the wines of Gérard and Jocelyn Oustric and the rich lineage of inspiration that follows them. Today we ping pong to a parallel lineage, not a competing one, that stems from the visionary work of Gilles Azzoni. For me, I find it helpful to see Ardèche through these two lenses and the stylistic ripples they make in the proverbial pond. Samuel Boulay is a very special winemaker who surfa on those Azzoni ripples. Originally from the Loire but a longtime farmer in Ardèche, he tends some of the old Azzoni vines and crafts some extremely contemplative wines without much fanfare. Stylistically the wines drink less ephemerally than some other favorites from the region - the fruit is decidedly ripe, controlled volatility works to keep everything in balance. After some time not in the New York market, we have Samuel Boulay’s Rappapeo. A direct press of Viognier straight into barrel, where it’s fermented and aged without topping up for two years. Slightly oxidative, lush stone fruit and florals, with a spike of acidity to keep things from veering towards the flabbiness often seen in this grape. With some good time in bottle, this 2018 is showing beautifully, ready to be swirled and considered, but most importantly enjoyed.

L’Absurde Génie des Fleurs are back 🌸 Few new wines have captivated us in such a way. Effortlessly like but with a complexity that takes it beyond Glou Glou. Wines that exist to show what zero zero can be, not as an aesthetic choice. We have some old favorites and new additions, all showing that fresh fruit we have come to love. Try some out - with friends ideally!

The ephemeral wines of Athénaïs de Béru have landed on our shelves 🕊️ at the helm of a multigenerational Chablis powerhouse, Athénaïs knows all there is to know about showing terroir in her corner of Burgundy. We think one of the best ways to see this in practice is with her négociant project, for which she sources Chardonnay, Aligoté, Pinot, and Gamay from nearby farmers and brings out a light touch, living Burgundy that we cannot get enough of. We’re pleased to offer some truly special bottles, like Céleste: a single parcel blend of consecrated Pinot and Chard. These are an all hits no skips collection, the perfect wines to say what the heck and spend $10 more than you wanted on your way to your friends dinner party - it won’t go unrewarded. We also have some of the estate Chablis that are textbook examples of clean natural wine doing everything the big players can.

Those special special wines from Friuli are back 🫶 Sasa has been running the winery since his fathers passing, and continues to craft wines that straddle modernity and antiquity. We have a whole array, in all sizes. Those funny shaped bottles made in his father’s long macerated style, and the new editions of more fresh and accessible wines. We’re also so please to offer a bottle of a special 2009 reserve wine, made by Stanko, aged 4 years in barrel and held at the estate til now. Not much left so act fast!
