Convento San Lorenzo sits in the middle of Sassella, in Valtellina, centered on a convent and a walled vineyard dating to 1100; Benedictine sisters tended the property for centuries, and records show the wine was already providing them income by the 1400s. Here Nebbiolo goes by its local name, Chiavennasca, and clings to terraces held up by dry-stone walls in the shadow of the Rhaetian Alps. Vesper comes from the small terraces surrounding the convent at around 500 meters, which catch sun from morning until evening, and it spends just six months in steel — no wood, nothing in the way. The result is Nebbiolo at its freshest: bright red fruit, flowers and herbs, with that alpine combination of delicacy and bite, and none of the tannin that usually demands years of patience.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Siena Imports [SII]","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40986580811811,"sku":"SF-4-SII--101625-7","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0044\/1208\/0163\/files\/Bottle-of-Convento-San-Lorenzo-Rosso-di-Valtellina-Vesper-2023-Red-Wine-Flatiron-SF.jpg?v=1761173579"},{"product_id":"i-brand-and-family-santa-cruz-cabernet-sauvignon-bates-ranch-vineyard-2022-750ml","title":"I Brand and Family Santa Cruz Mountains Cabernet Sauvignon Bates Ranch Vineyard 2022","description":"\u003cp\u003eBates Ranch sits at the far southern tip of the Santa Cruz Mountains, near Mount Madonna, planted in the early 1970s and dry-farmed on a steep slope well above a thousand feet. It's a historic Cabernet site whose fruit went into some of the region's benchmark bottlings decades ago, and Ian Brand treats it with the seriousness it deserves. This is emphatically not valley-floor Cabernet: no plush, no chocolate, no weight for weight's sake. Instead you get tart red currant and black cherry, tobacco leaf and forest floor, framed by firm, faintly rustic tannin and real acidity.

Convento San Lorenzo's two-hectare clos, dating to 1100, is the only ancient walled vineyard of its kind in Valtellina, planted on sandy debris left behind by the glaciers, facing steeply south, with an afternoon breeze rising off Lake Como — a very particular little environment, in Sassella, the region's most acclaimed sub-zone. Nebbiolo here goes by the local name Chiavennasca and grows on terraces between roughly 400 and 600 meters, held in place by dry-stone walls, and the Riserva gets more than three years in wood and bottle before release. What comes out is mountain Nebbiolo turned serious, deeper and firmer than the convent's Vesper, without losing the perfume and finesse that make Sassella worth seeking out.

A Frenchman trained at Domaine Leroy and Domaine de Chassorney, he came to Rioja in 2004 to convert vineyards to biodynamics and applies the same terroir-first thinking to his whites as to his reds: Viura and Garnacha Blanca, native fermentation, and élevage split across several vessel types rather than a single oak recipe. The result is light-bodied and quietly earthy rather than rich — a white built for the table, and one that will pick up complexity over a few years in bottle.

Garnacha, Tempranillo and Graciano in proportions that shift with the vintage, grown on sandy, gravelly, alluvial soils, fermented with native yeasts and rested in tank, concrete and old foudre before bottling. Rivière is a Frenchman who arrived in Rioja in 2004 to convert vineyards to biodynamics after training at Domaine Leroy and Domaine de Chassorney, and this is where that non-interventionist schooling shows up most plainly — bright, juicy, unvarnished Rioja with none of the vanilla-and-coconut signature the region is known for.

He came to Spain in 2004 to help convert vineyards to biodynamics and stayed; what he saw in a region organized around how long a wine had been aged was something else entirely, which was terroir.

Whole clusters, native yeast, fermentation in concrete, then roughly a year in 500-liter demi-muids and larger foudres — no new-oak varnish, no Reserva formula.

Le Roc comes from stony crushed-limestone slopes at the foot of Mont Granier, planted to Jacquere, the alpine native that Savoie has always used for its most refreshing whites.

Arbin is the appellation that Mondeuse Noire calls home, and the fruit here comes off its iron-rich red clay slopes, farmed by hand on steep terraces with yields kept deliberately low.
