Wine & Beer List Wine & Beer List Feel Like in Italy NATURAL WINES - no chemical fertilisers or pesticides used in the vineyard, and no filtration, added yeast, enzymes, and very little sulphur added in the cellar. ORGANIC WINES - made from grapes grown without artificial fertilisers, fungicides, pesticides or weedkillers. The use of copper, sulphur dioxide and a number of organically derived vine treatments are permitted in order to counteract the effects of the weather. A limited selection of organically derived additives are allowed in the cellar. Orange Wines White grapes are left in contact with their skins (and sometimes their seeds and stalks) for a prolonged length of time, in effect making a white as if it were a red. This is a very natural process that uses spontaneous fermentation, and little or no additives.

Contrade (pronounced kohn-TRA-day; singular contrada) is a southern Italian term for parcels of vineyard land that have been known by recognized names for a long time. Typically, these parcels were divided from one another by rows of trees, stone walls, creeks, or other identifiable features. The vineyards of Masseria Li Veli are mostly in Contrada Veli, which has been recognized by name since at least the 17th century. Other growers for this project are in nearby contrade.

  • JR-Diffusion-Portfol
    BRAND PORTFOLIO When you’re seeking earth’s natural chemistry, microbiology & true love for the fruit in one single wine, your best bet is to turn to small producers. These wine makers have the luxury to craft quality because they don’t cater to mass-market demands. And when you want to reach them, only independent wine merchants will roll up their sleeves to find them for you. When you live in a world overwhelmed by technology, there’s a constant search for simplicity & urge to go back to old, traditional ways. JR Diffusion is exactly that! Based in South of France, we handpick rising Artisan vine growers from surprising “terroirs”. We’re bringing you back the lost origins of French wines & the true meaning of what “terroir” stands for! From sustainable practices to humble farmers that follow early monks’ practices, we work with vine growers that dedicated their life to create wine masterpieces. Dreamers, agronomists, vintners... I spent times in vineyards across France and overseas to unearth “artists vignerons”. The raw experience that comes with soil under your nails is the most authentic knowledge. I have learned their way of growing vines, making wines and drinking `brut de cuve`. This portfolio is promoting years and years of vine growing tradition with the same philosophy; growing organic, biodynamic or natural berries. Why JR Diffusion? It’s wine simplicity. It’s an attitude. It’s harkening back to lost ways of living. It’s a philosophy. Yours & Ours. Sylvain Boutee Marcel Gisclard Vincent Rapin Lionel Faury Clos des Boutes Domaine

  • August 2020 Tasting Notes
    Tasting Notes August 2020 Pick-up Wines of Puglia, Italy Welcome to your August 2020 Smart Wine Club pickup. The theme this quarter is the region of Puglia (sometimes called Apulia), the easternmost region of Italy. When you're thinking of the boot-shaped country of Italy, Puglia is the heel of the boot. Puglia is an up-and-coming region for Italian wines. Wine grapes were first planted there over 1,000 years ago by the Greeks, and for centuries, it was known as a strong agricultural region producing inexpensive wine for local consumption. However, in the 1960s and 70s as the middle class grew worldwide and wine became an affordable luxury, Puglia gained a negative reputation for starting to produce mass quantities of very poor-quality bulk wine for blending. Then in the 1990s things started to turn around and the area benefited from government investments in tourism and improved winemaking. These days the region is known for its well-valued and easy-to-enjoy red wines. The most famous grape is Primitivo, which originally comes from Croatia and is either the exact same or a very close genetic relative of Zinfandel (wine geneticists are still working on this question). The 2nd grape of Puglia is Negroamaro, which produces either deep, bold reds or famously tasty rosatos. Other well-known local red grapes include Aglianico, Nero de Troia and Susumaniello. Fiano is the most common local white grape. Thank you so much for your continued support of the Smart Wine Club even during these incredibly strange times. Remember, if you introduce a friend who then decides to join, you’ll BOTH receive 10% off your next tote.
