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":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"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":"convento-san-lorenzo-valtellina-superiore-sassella-riserva-2021-750ml","title":"Convento San Lorenzo Valtellina Superiore Sassella Riserva 2021","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is the wine from inside the ancient walls. 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. Benedictine sisters tended this ground for centuries, and the wine still tastes like a place that has been paid close attention.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Siena Imports [SII]","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43640347295779,"sku":"SF-4-SII--081226-6","price":69.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0044\/1208\/0163\/files\/Bottle-of-Convento-San-Lorenzo-Valtellina-Superiore-Sassella-Riserva-2021-Red-Wine-Flatiron-SF.jpg?v=1787179793"},{"product_id":"bibich-zutina-dalmatia-white-2024","title":"Bibich Dalmatia Zutina Superstitious 2024","description":"This is orange wine with a real reason to exist: Bibich calls Žutina an old, traditional Dalmatian way of making wine, with Debit fermented on its skins with native yeasts and very little else done to it. That makes it less a fashion statement and more a look at how white grapes were handled on this stretch of Croatia long before \"skin contact\" turned into a wine-bar buzzword. The family makes it entirely from Debit grown in their Plastovo and Promina vineyards. The vines average about 50 years old, grow in karst and limestone, and are farmed organically and picked by hand. Žutina belongs to the estate's \"Domaine\" line. Alen Bibich spent decades building this work, and his wife Vesna and the Bibich team now carry it on.

Bibich makes CRNO from Syrah and Plavina, a local variety the family uses to lighten the denser Syrah. The name means \"black,\" so you can guess where the Syrah wants to go; the Plavina is there to rein it in. The vines average 38 years old and grow on six hectares of karst and limestone around Plastovo, near Croatia's Adriatic coast. They're farmed organically and picked by hand. In the cellar, the family keeps intervention to a minimum. The family has been making wine here since the late 1400s, and an appearance on Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations brought the winery global attention.

It's one of three native grapes found in nearly every vineyard around Plastovo, it goes into the estate's traditional field-blend Cuvee, and the family uses it to lighten their Syrah. This bottling gives it the stage to itself, and it's a real chance to taste a Dalmatian variety most drinkers have never met on its own. The fruit comes from organically farmed, hand-picked vines that average 50 years old, rooted in the karst and limestone of Plastovo, near Croatia's Adriatic coast. Bibich keeps the winemaking out of the way: fermentation with native yeasts and minimal intervention. It belongs to the family's \"Domaine\" line, which uses the low-intervention methods their ancestors used, and that's no small claim from a family whose winemaking records go back more than 500 years. Alen Bibich built the estate's work over decades.

It's a dry, full-bodied, earthy take on the style, made from organically farmed grapes. Bibich is based in Plastovo, a village near the town of Skradin, and the family's winemaking records go back to the late 1400s. The late Alen Bibich led the estate for many years and spent that time championing Dalmatia's native grapes, which did a lot to bring international attention to Croatian wine. If your idea of orange wine stops at Friuli and Georgia, this is a good reason to add Croatia to the list. It's also an easy way into one of the country's best-known family estates.","brand":"ZRS West [ZRS]","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44062074634275,"sku":"SF-W-ZRS-`SYLV2575-NVDI`-101926-17","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0044\/1208\/0163\/files\/Bottle-of-Bibich-Dalmatia-Orange-NV-Orange-Wine-Flatiron-SF.jpg?v=1792797342"},{"product_id":"domaine-oudin-chablis-2023-750ml","title":"Domaine Oudin Chablis 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003eSisters Nathalie and Isabelle Oudin farm their historic estate organically, relying on indigenous yeast fermentation and long lees aging in stainless steel rather than heavy oak.

Palomino is better known as the Sherry grape and rarely gets much attention on its own. Berlin admits it's usually quite neutral, but he says Luchesi's vineyard in Oakley, in Contra Costa County, gives it more texture than you'd expect and a salty edge. Luchesi has farmed that vineyard since 1990. (One barrel of that old Palomino went into the rosé instead.) After nearly two decades as winemaker at El Molino, Berlin now works only on Chasing Ether, blending fruit from vineyards across California to tell the story of the state as a whole. He wants wines that are affordable and \"crushable\" and made to be shared, and a blend of old-vine oddities like this is exactly the kind of bottle we love to find early.","brand":"Chasing Ether [CE]","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44140421611555,"sku":"SF-W-CE-`CHAS25CB7`-110526-14","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0044\/1208\/0163\/files\/Bottle-of-Chasing-Ether-White-2025-White-Wine-Flatiron-SF.jpg?v=1794437529"},{"product_id":"chasing-ether-cinsault-2025","title":"Chasing Ether Cinsault 2025","description":"A California Cinsault from a winemaker who knows exactly why this underrated grape matters. Eben Sadie once compared Cinsault to the cousin everyone loves but nobody talks about because he's in prison. Jon Berlin is happy to talk about it: born in Johannesburg, he worked his first harvest in Cape Town in 1999, and he points out that the great Cape reds of the 1950s always had some Cinsault in the blend (he fell for the grape himself around 2016). After nearly two decades as winemaker at El Molino, Berlin now puts all his energy into Chasing Ether, a label that blends fruit from vineyards across California to tell the story of the state as a whole. His goal is wines that are affordable and \"crushable\" and made to be shared, without being ordinary. That's exactly the kind of bottle we like handing to people.

For his first Pinot Noir under his own label, he went back to a vineyard he already knew well. The fruit comes from Morelli Creek, off Morelli Lane in Occidental, a coastal site Berlin worked from 2009 to 2017. They got back together because Nathan Feileacan emailed him in April 2024 to ask if he wanted some Pinot. The wine is equal parts Pommard, 777 and Calera clones. The wine lands at a modest 13.2% alcohol. He fermented it with native yeast and about half whole clusters, which add structure and grip. Only 230 cases were made. Berlin says he wants to make exceptional wine that stays affordable, and a small-lot coastal Pinot made this carefully is exactly the kind of bottle we love to find early.
