Uncouth Italy STOCK ITEMS Kellerei St. Pauls • region: Alto Adige To understand the wines of Kellerei St. Pauls, you must understand the stunning and dramatic terrain of Italy’s Alto Adige valley region; this is cool climate, mountain fruit. Dropping from the alps, along the border with Austria, the Adige river cuts a narrow valley through the mountains and foothills, terrain beloved by the decidedly Germanic Italians who live here. Based in the village of Eppan, St. Pauls, like most of the wineries in the Adige, is a co-op of quality minded growers and dates back more than 100 years, to its founding in 1907.

Their desire to get back to honest, real winemaking—away from the big business of Tuscany—led them to Basilicata, where they produce modern, muscular Aglianico that expresses the distinct volcanic soils and terroir of their vineyards.

A darling of critic Asimov at the NY Times, Prevostini is a star of the Valtellina. Item ID description grape/variety/production PVS100 17 Nebbiolo “Bottonero” I.G.T.

Today, Aldo is most famed for his Granbussia, one of the greatest and rarest Barolos, but the same care and production philosophies—abiding tradition—extend to all of his handcrafted wines. Allocated. Please inquire for details. Bruna Grimaldi • region: Piedmont Born from a long line of Grimaldis in the Barolo area, Bruna Grimaldi’s endowment included vineyards from her mother’s side in Grinzane Cavour, where the winery is located, and the gorgeous cru Badarina in Serralunga from her father’s side. Her name first appeared on her wines in ’99, and today she makes fewer than 4.2k cases by natural, chemical-free means that respect the unique terroir of her vineyards. Item ID description grape/variety/production BGR310 14 Bruna Grimaldi Barolo ‘Camilla’ young vines Nebbiolo, tonneaux aged 5 Italy Cordero di Montezemolo • region: Piedmont The Cordero di Montezemolo family is one of Italy’s most aristocratic, nobles who for generations served the House of Savoy, the kings of Italy. Their roots in Piemonte, then, are very deep, and this property in La Morra has been theirs since 1340, and has over 200 years of winemaking history from its contiguous 28ha estate vineyard. The wines are classically styled and built to age, yet still accessible for early drinking. These critically acclaimed Piedmont standards should be part of any serious wine set.
