VINTUS NEW YORK

Eden Specialty Ciders

Newport, Vermont

Eleanor Leger founded Eden Specialty Ciders in 2007 after tasting ice cider in Montreal. Canada has always been a leader in ice wine, and a sweet cider industry, utilizing the same methods, sprung up alongside the vinous version. Leger’s great-great grandfather was a blacksmith in the Northeast Kingdom before the Civil War, and her deep roots there caused her to immediately recognize the similarities between the climate in Quebec and that of the Northeast Kingdom in Vermont. Eleanor bought an abandoned dairy farm and became the first producer of ice cider in the United States. Born out of this passion project, Eden is now an industry leader in quality cider production.

The growers they work with have taken decades of risks in both planting their vineyards and the farming choices they make today.  The winery's work is to channel the drama of these surroundings into wines that dazzle with energy and stand out immediately.

Tilth Wines

California, United States

Cobb Wines

Sonoma Coast, California

In 1989, David Cobb planted the Coastlands vineyard that became well known through wines made by Hirsch and Williams Selyem.

In 2001, David and Ross crafted 130 cases of Cobb Wines’ inaugural Coastlands Vineyard pinot noir. Since then, Ross has taken the helm and Cobb Wines has evolved to include four other hand-tended, independently owned vineyards on the Sonoma Coast. Though these vineyards share certain essential Sonoma Coast characteristics, they each have individual soil types, subtly different microclimates, and unique combinations of pinot noir selections. Ross's wines have become heralded the country over as benchmarks for elegance and nuance from the Sonoma Coast.

Lodi, California, United States

Many of the vineyards that Henri and Jamey work with have old vines that have stood the test of time and escaped commercialization.

It is difficult to sum up in a few lines the long and splendid history of the estate. It was already known in the 12th century but there were not yet any vines.

Domaine de Pierre

Loire Valley

Domiane de Pierre is a small estate in the heart of the Loire Valley run by 4th generation vigneron Lionel Gosseaume. That said, Lionel took an unusual path to winemaking. As a young man, he left the Loire to study agriculture and pursue a career. While he was away, his brother Thierry inherited his family’s domaine. When he came back home in the early 2000s, Lionel began looking for vineyards of his own. In 2007, he went to work for a next door neighbor at what would eventually become Domaine de Pierre.

The estate now has some of the most exceptional vineyards in Montalcino and, as of 2018, a state of the art winery to nurture every step of the winemaking process. The original vision, however, remains the same: to produce a bold and ambitious Super Tuscan that reflects the culture of Montalcino.

Casisano

Tuscany, Italy

The Casisano estate is located in the southeastern part of Montalcino between the St. Antimo Abbey and the Val d'Orcia, arguably the most quintessentially picturesque area in all of Tuscany.

Petrolo

Val d'Arno di Sopra, Tuscany. Italy

Petrolo is the definition of a cult winery, with an owner and a story that have helped create its legendary status. While the estate's benchmark wine, the Merlot cru Galatrona, deservedly receives fireworks in the press and is part of the history of Tuscany’s quality revolution in the late 1980s and 1990s, the winery's two other standouts, Torrione and Boggina, are an equally thrilling success - Sangiovese from a special and virtually unknown appellation bordering Chianti Classico that today produces wines of distinct regional identity.

Edoardo Gialetti, along with sons Mauro and Marco, own 190 HA of some of Italy’s oldest terroir in Orvieto, dating back to Etruscan times. With five distinct vineyard sites, nestled almost exclusively on hillsides that average 300 meters in altitude, La Carraia is 100% estate grown. Their vineyards are in the southern portion of Orvieto, and enjoy a distinct microclimate as a result of a hydroelectric lake that was build in the late 1970s by the Italian Government. The lake helps keep temperatures down on hot summer nights, allowing the grapes to maintain their all-important acidity. The soils at La Carraia are largely volcanic, and some of the vineyards include clay as well.

Sandrone

Piedmont, Italy

Luciano Sandrone is one of the most iconic producers in Barolo, and his story is an extraordinary one.

Trediberri

La Morra, Piedmont

Trediberri prides themselves on their upstart status. No ancestral coat of arms adorn the walls of their winery, no rampant horses or fluttering angels guard the vineyards.

Friuli, Italy

Rio

Castelnuovo del Garda, Venezie

Let this outstanding Pinot Grigio, dry, crisp and refreshing, momentarily transport you to these canals in the “City of Water." 

Il Mosnel Franciacorta

Franciacorta DOCG

In the very heart of Franciacorta, lies the centuries old residence of the Barboglio family; with its 16th-century wine cellars and surrounding vineyards, the estate serves as an all eloquent testimony to the age-old winemaking traditions of the region. The cellars of this venerable winery continually witness the unfolding of the impressive winemaking tradition that the Barboglio family inherited in 1836. With the introduction of the Franciacorta DOCG, Emanuela Barboglio was able, in 1968, to wisely guide the winery into specialized, high-quality winegrowing. Today, her two children, Giulio and Lucia Barzanò, have accepted the challenge of this priceless inheritance and are committed to handing it on, with increased luster, to future generations.

Paternoster

Basilicata, Italy

Volcanic wines are currently a hot topic among wine critics and enthusiasts worldwide, and Paternoster is very much of the moment: it is a volcanic wine in the literal sense of the term and stands on an extinct volcano. Paternoster is located in the relatively unknown southern Italian region of Basilicata, on the slopes surrounding Mount Vulture, and has long been considered one of the region’s most important wineries.

Juvé & Camps

Penedès

Juvé & Camps is indisputably the worldwide leader of Gran Reserva Cava. This family-owned, 100% estate-based producer is revered in Spain for its painstaking focus on quality and sustainability, and its important role within the country’s conversation on fine wine in general. A winegrowing family for over 200 years, in 1921 Juvé started producing the first sparkling wines under their name. They have been pioneers in the viticulture and production of Cava since then and, today, while Gran Reserva only accounts for 2% of all Cava production, it remains the focus of the estate."

Gustav van Volxem purchased the property in the wake of the French Revolution, which ended generations of monastic control. Gustav was a true visionary, and recognized the potential of his spectacular vineyard sites. The estate gained international acclaim over the four generations of Van Volxem family stewardship that followed Gustav.

These are serious wines that moreover showcase the best of Argentina: a beautiful mix of purity and elegance.

Saison Rum

Jamaica, Barbados, Trinidad

The house of Tessendier has been distilling, blending and aging eaux-de-vie for over 130 years using Charentais stills in traditional Cognac methods. Now, the Tessendier brothers, Jérôme and Lilian, are transforming their knowledge of blending and aging techniques to a different world of spirits: rum. By carefully selecting distillates from different regional terroirs of the Caribbean, the brothers have created a unique blended rum in accordance with their historical French method of cognac production that similarly showcase the typicity of these terroirs. Jérôme is the blender, who creates rum in four key stages: origins, aging, finishing and blending. Each of these stages follows the previous one, like the four seasons. This innovative, sequenced approach produces the rum known as Saison, the French word for Season. Jérôme’s intention is to showcase the typicity of these terroirs through his knowledge of blending to create the perfect balance: the richness in molasses from pot still rums blended with the light and delicate notes from the sugarcane distillation in columns.

Capurro Pisco

Nasca, Ica

The Capurro family has been producing pisco for five generations, spanning over 100 years, and proudly played an integral role in the development of Perú’s national spirit. To make great pisco, the family begins with virtuous agriculture. This connection to terroir shines in Capurro’s single estate, vintage bottlings. Longer, hotter days separate Nasca from the rest of the Ica Valley, resulting in sweeter and more consistent grapes at harvest.

The Capurro vineyard instead relies on ancient subterranean aqueducts that bring water from the Andes Mountains hundreds of miles away.
